Font size

[1958steveflying]

Is it possible to change the Font size in general... not on posts I make but on the threads I read ?

What system do you run. IE or chrome? Chrome has a little button, in the top right hand corner of the screen. Mines got three horizontal lines on it, but it used to be a square block. dunno why it changed. Click it, look for Zoom, press the plus button. Cant remember exactly what to do for IE, but it is similar.

Or you could hit Control plus a couple of times.

Then control minus to go back to original.

Well I never knew that.

I've had a wade through the admin bits and I can't find anywhere that allows a change.  I'd have thought it might be changed in your personal settings but I can't see it there either.

It may just be a function of the skin we use for the forum.  Tony may have a better idea of what's possible.

Meantime best I could suggest has already been mentioned by Keith.

I can't see a way to change font size using the user profile options.

Of course we can change the font size across the whole forum by tweeking the style sheet.  But we need to assess whether most people find it painfully small.  Opinions welcome!

Another option is to have two forum themes that are identical except for the font size, this would allow users to choose.

Also did you know if you hold the control key down and scroll the mousewheel that will zoom in/out on most browsers (same as Keef's shortcut)?

Ah, that's good

I see Chrome has the option under View->Zoom to enable "Zoom Text Only" which is a neat feature as it leaves images at the same size.

I cant find that. It would be handy, coz I go for 125%, just because I like the monitor a bit further away from me. Trouble is, sometimes it send stuff off the edge of the page, because of the pics.
Is it under that button in the top right hand corner?

75%? I'd have to have my nose touching the screen.

My mistake, it's actually Firefox that has that feature, not Chrome (I use both)
