Don't know what browser you're using, but in Chrome, click the menu with the 3 lines, and about halfway down it's got "zoom", which increases the text size. Other browsers will have something similar.

Thanks but it's only this forum really, it seems smaller than other sites.
Probably just my eyes, will try phone settings.

I access the forum from a smartphone most of the time, and never have a problem with the font size when accesing from a laptop/PC.

But if i did, i normally hit the control key on my ketboard and scroll up on my mouse to increase the screen size enough to enlarge the text size with out over-pixellating it.

If it is a real problem, there is a special board style called visio which is large font type but it is a bit extreme.

Go to user control panel --> board preferences --> edit global settings --> choose my board style - visio from the drop down --> and click submit.

You will never need another eye test in your lifetime ;)

New option added that is a bit more sophisticated. Follow the previous instructions to access your User Control Panel

Go to user control panel --> board preferences --> edit global settings.

Now take a look at the options shown in in the attached photo, you can increase the font size to various percentages in your existing board style and/or make it bold with the last two settings.

Good posters come and go, cc. Some twats stay, some go, they know all know the score. See the banned list.
