    Default tiny font arghhhh

    Hi all. I can no longer read things on this site. I had eye surgery a fortnight ago to save my sight but won't be fully recovered for 6 months or so. So, can anyone tell me how to change the default font size to this.
    , I emailed a Mod but no response.
    Thanks

    I don't know of any setting that is specific to this site, but you could try using Zoom in your browser. Holding down the CTRL key and hit the + key a couple of times might help.

    Hit "[CTRL] +"
    It will enlarge the font on the active page. Repeat as required. [CTRL] - will take it back a level.
    That's on a PC. Anything else and you are on your own.
    I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

    Hi Sheddie

    On my PC I use the zoom control which is accessed thru the 'settings' menu for the PC (not the woodwork forum settings). My zoom is permanently set at 170% for everything I bring up on the screen from the internet. And I still need reading glasses to be able to read it. Any screen smaller than a PC monitor and I can't help you.

    Regards
    Twosheds

    Same on a Mac, but it's "[CMD⌘] +" to enlarge and "[CMD⌘] -" to reduce the font size.

    Default MS > settings > accessibility

    Open "Settings" > "Accessibility" > scroll down to "Page Zoom" then change to the zoom size you prefer.

    This will change the page zoom for all sites.

    That's the trouble with getting old, we start to get a lot of AIDS, looking, hearing, walking, eating.
    To grow old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

    FenceFurniture its not the size of your font but the color.
    The size reminds me too much of other things that are small, like M3 nuts.
