How can I change the font size for forum text ? - circles_o_o_o - 05-09-2014 12:32
Today the text in the forum posts has become small and fiddly looking. I checked the style sheet and it says that it is 13 points.
I tried changing the font in my browser but it doesn't make any difference to the forum.
Is anyone else finding this?
Is there a way to customize it for each user?

Are you sure you haven't zoomed out?

The zoom is fine, I thought of that.
If I do zoom in, the text looks kind of skinny, I think that is the font weight being reduced.
Yes it is Google Chrome.

Which of these lines looks wrong?

They all seem big enough, but the third line is thin.
I checked the 'about' on the browser and it says it is up to date.
I just tried the forum in IE and get the same thing.

I've had this problem with Firefox, as well as unable to use bold, italics etc for some considerable time even after updating.

After changing the font size in the browser controls, when I do a Google search, the results come up up in the new larger text.
But the print on the forum is still small, so it must be controlled from somewhere else. It's not so much the size as the fact that the print looks slightly out of focus, as it it is less solid looking.

Why don't you post a screenshot?
It might be related to this:

Thanks for that info Barney, that may well have something to do with it.
Hopefully enough people complain that it gets changed.
I did take a screenshot and discovered something weird. The text in the screenshot looks fine, solid black just like it should be. So I can't actually show you what the screen really looks like.
I don't want to muck about in the registry so I will just try and get used to it.
