Is there a way to increase the type size?

(1/3) > >>

vtsteam:
The type size on this forum using my Mozilla based browser is tiny.

I looked in my Account Profile, and there are adjustments for "look and feel" but those don't include increasing type size.

When I say tiny, I mean a measured screen font of 20 characters per inch on my laptop's 15.5"  1366 x 768 monitor.

Other fora are a lot more readable for me -- HMEM for example measures 13 CPI. That's on the same display.

So I'm wondering -- is it just my computer, or do others have the same problem?

I know I can alter the browser's zoom setting, but then every other website is affected, too.

If it isn't the same for others, maybe it's a font rendering problem. Which might explain why HMEM shows up larger (if it uses a different font than my browser assigns to madmod.

Thanks!

it usually is a browser issue. The font size here is the same as HMEM. They look identical in size to me from IE, FireFox and Chrome.

Have you tried a different browser?

Here are some things that may help...

Tip: If you have a mouse with a wheel and are using any of the below browsers, you can increase and decrease the size of your fonts in your browser by holding down the Ctrl key, and while continuing to hold down the key, move the mouse wheel up or down.

Mozilla Firefox users

To increase, decrease, or change the default font in Mozilla Firefox, follow the below steps.

Open Mozilla Firefox.
Click Tools.
Click Options.
Within the Options window, click the Content button.
Within the content section you will be able to specify the default font type as well as the font size. In addition to being able to change these two settings, you can also click the Advanced button and get many more settings, such as the resolution and the minimum font size to use.
Note: Mozilla Firefox also supports the tip mentioned at the beginning of this document.

I just tried the ctrl/wheel trick in FireFox. I was able to shrink/increase font size on MM without changing the size of other tabs open...

While we're on the topic of font size, I notice while browsing the forum on my Android phone that some posts have tiny text and others are huge.  Anyone else find this?  Any solution?
