The long and the short is my font size when writing a post has become very small. Once I have posted it, it is the normal size. Although it will not be displayed as such, it would appear that I am writing in font 6 or 8. At this size I need glasses to read it Embarrassed

I have put a screen shot below. Just as an example I have used the next thread down. Any ideas please.

Thanks Hagar, I am also using FireFox and the "text only zoom" has helped a little bit, but it is still not perfect. I think that this coincided with the forum update, but I am not sure. Anyway, at least I can now read this without glasses again!

If you look right under the textbox you'll see the "Text size" control.

Just set that to 10pt and you should be good.

No wonder In could not read it, the default was set to text size 6!!

That is of course the solution. Another little mystery solved. Smiley

For that solution, he needs to select a larger font '[size=]' for us.
