Dave & Felix have come up with a suggestion & method to view messages in a larger font size.

Go into your profile & simply select LargeFont as your default & hey presto!

The messages are in larger print!

Now that is very funny!!
Actually, my eyesight is perfect Tongue

I was browsing a few other forums and noticed the font was bigger than ours.
Since my screen is set to a resolution of 1600 X 1200 with a refresh of 85, things are a bit "compressed if you know what I mean.

It was a quest to edit the YABB scrip and in the end, Felix pulled through after using his forum over at FFDS forums as the guinea pig.

If you hold down Ctrl and scroll with your mouse wheel you can zoom in and out, it works with IE7, Word, Excel.

A quick and easy way for old folks to see things. Tongue

TRue - but it doesn't work with the yaBB script settings which "overrules" the cttl-scroll..... Sad

Believe me, I tried that....

Works fine for me in Firefox but not IE6. I've never tried IE7.

I have IE6 as my default browser, and it doesn't work there.

Like "he who has me in the dark as to gemmax updates" says, it works with Firefox.

Wow!

It did work! (I am using Firefox, as well.)

Hm, but does it automatically go back to the default size? I can't tell . . . looks like I may be set to a bit bigger now (the girlfriend will be happy, anyway).
