A Little Help Here, Please!

Excuse me, but I'm having a hard time reading the board.

The text is really small. It's giving me headaches trying to read them. How can I enlarge the text? Increasing the font doesn't seem to do anything.

TIA,

M.

Mitch

that's been brought up in the site suggestions forum and the administrators are seeing what they can do about it.

Give them a little time on it because they are still tweaking a few things and maybe they can do something about it.

Okay, patiently waiting.

Where's the asprin, honey?

haha.

It is fine on my computer, and to my knowledge most everyone's computer. I do not know why it is showing up small on your computer because all of the fonts are the same size as the old forum. If you can answer these questions it will help me out

what resolution is your computer at?

what size monitor do you have/

and if maybe you could take a screen shot by hitting "print screen" and then emailing it to [email protected] i will be able to see what your seeing. I want to forum to be viewed good by everyone, so i hope i can help you out.

a few more question's. lol

Do you need new glasses?

how old are you?

how many feet away are you standing from your computer?

oh, and almost forgot... are you looking at "our site"?

just kidding man.

In all seriousness,it is showing up considerably smaller on my screen as well.

I'm not complaining about it because it's not difficult for me to read and I kind of like it the way it is but I can see where it may cause problems for some people.

I am going to do my best to allow some members to turn up the size

Are you using netscape?? Zane said in netscape at his school it was all really really small?? IE6 is better than netscape by far. go d/l it until we get it figured out.

mblrds · September 19, 2001

Yeah, I'm using Netscape. I'll check out how it does on IE.

As to the other questions, I'm using a 17" monitor set at 1024 x 768.

Another thing that just happen, the bulletin board was wider than my screen; had a stroll bar across the bottom.

Something else of interest is that SiiLT's reply where he quoted me, his reply text was larger than any of the other reply, including his other replies/posts.

Josh · September 19, 2001

Yeah, sounds like netscape is sucking pretty bad. I have no idea why all that is happening, and i hate to ask you to use IE on our site, but it looks like thats what some may need to do.
