Plus Dragonlair had mentioned using Control and + or - to set the size and it remembers it. Boy, I wish the Control/scroll trick would work on HOGs!

Press the "ctrl" key on your computer and keep it pressed. 2. Move the scroll button on your mouse, while ctrl key is pressed. 3. Move scroll button forward or backwards - and magnify/de-magnify the screen. Hope this helps, Happy copmom on "GOTD Forum Changes" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6133/page/2#post-64377 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:45:45 +0000 copmom 64377@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ jenany.. thanks for the 'no squint' link....

I love it! This is such an improvement. My PC has been on but my migraine headaches have been so bad, I have been, mostly in bed or trying to play catch up from being in bed. I have yet to find how to report a post for being spam etc except to PM a Mod. And I would like to see added, if at all possible, the capability to "Thumbs Up" a post. No, "Thumbs Down" as that could cause a problem. Just something to say "Atta Boy or Girl". Sometimes there is a game or post that I really don't have anything to add via post but would like that poster to know I appreciate it or agree..etc. Just a thought.......

It's very easy to use, and will solve your font size issues immediately! :-) RosnSC on "GOTD Forum Changes" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6133/page/2#post-63901 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 07:59:57 +0000 RosnSC 63901@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ I liked the other font size better, myself.

We all can deal with it one way or another, but what good does it do? Anyway, I am asking for a major font increase on the number of PMs you have. I miss the giant '1' I would get occasionally, when I got a PM...is it possible to do this??? Just my thoughts. watcher13 on "GOTD Forum Changes" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6133/page/2#post-63890 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 04:18:22 +0000 watcher13 63890@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ To those who keep saying use this setting or this plug-in, or what have you, to change the font size, that isn't really the point. Nobody before said there was any problem with the font size, now that it's changed nobody saying that it's an improvement that solves any kind of previous problem, but some have said that the new font size is causing a new problem with readability. So, again, many of us respectfully request that the font size be increased. No, I'm not having problems with my eyesight, but I don't see the need to squint, and I don't see the need to have to make any adjustment when that wasn't necessary before and isn't necessary for the majority of websites now. Like I said before, readability is one of the main reasons people are attracted to a website. I guess, to some, as long as it suits them, it doesn't matter if it drives many people away. I guess some would be just as happy to talk to themselves. jenany on "GOTD Forum Changes" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6133/page/2#post-63889 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 03:54:27 +0000 jenany 63889@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ My final consensus is that I DO like this new format ..

I kind of got used to the previous format, but I think I can get used to this new format (with time). The important thing (to me) is ease & content.

You can set different options to do different things. For example I have mine set so if something is too small I do a quick up n down mouse stroke and it enlarges all text on that page. It's excellent and I use it everywhere I go online. Give it a try.
