Opinions on the Post Font Size?

[Administrator]

I remember you had some super thick glasses and your monitor set at 240 by 300 resolution or something like that, so I wanted to see if the font being used on the posts themselves is too small. Anyone else struggling to read or is it okay? If we try to bump it up a notch it could get ugly looking. Depends on the font.

I assume you're addressing moi!

I'm not crazy about the small size, but it's not a deal-breaker for me. BTW, isn't there a way to tell your browser to automatically use a larger font-size?

I often use ctrl and + to get a instant increase in font size. Ctrl and - would result in the opposite effect

it was massive on my pc at home last night. not sure if it was just my computer but i prefer it like this.

Font size is probably ok but not sure on the font...

Thanks for the tip, but the problem with that is that it increases (or decreases) the size of EVERYTHING on the page uniformly, not just the font. The final, permanent solution would be something that increases (or decreases) the size of ONLY the font itself. Do you know of any way to do that?

Well, you could download a special web tool bar (web developer) where you can alter the CSS values for each specific font and it will change in realtime.
This is however not a solid and easy way to do what you want to do.

You only want to magnify post-font..hmm..threaten cassin!..that might help..demand that he change the css only for you..or else you flee the forum

Looks good, I'm liking the new forum alot Kevin.

I did not like the font at first but I think I am used to it now.

But it could be a bit bigger.

Trebuchet MS is nice even though the last two letters gives me headache and stomach disorder :dunno:

 

[re-seeding]

What font is this anyway? Tahoma? verdana is my fav

 

[Whyatt]

I think I did mention that earlier? "Trebuchet MS".

I know, overkill :agree:

As a Web Developer/Designer I think TrebuchetMS is one of the nicest fonts I have come across to date.

What is needed is a global font setting per account so when rendered by the browser will appear on the forum as the user likes it. This can be size, colour, font, density, etc.

I quite like the forum design, it's simple, elegant, but more importantly it renders quickly!

If you ever wanted the forum redesigned I have experienced doing this!
