Getting older is a problem. You find that it's getting harder to see the words that are displayed on the computer......

We have a fix....

If you don't like the size of the text, you can change it by going to your "User Control Panel" (aka UCP). The easy way to find the UCP is to click on your user name at the top of the page. Then select "User Control Panel". From there locate the tab that says "Board Preferences" This will give you a number of different personalized board settings including the font size of your choosing.

I have a fix too, glasses!

I am just now at 66 learning that glasses are more of a good thing than a nuisance. I have been lucky not to have needed them until recently, but WOW, the difference is Huge!

BTW, I really like the "New" look to the forum.

Huge fonts are cool. They do have unintended consequences though. On some of the styles in mobile mode it messes with the page formatting something fierce.

Thanx much for this useful hint. At 71 my eyes need some help at times! Much better after I adjusted.

New look? I did not notice anything. Do I need new glasses?

Maybe. The "forum look" change was six months ago.

Great, now I have to worry about my memory, too! My board pref is prosilver and I can't recall anything. Never mind it looks great. I'm very nearsighted so font size is no problem. I have 2 pairs of glasses, one for computer work and one for the rest.

Unless my early onset alzheimer's is finally kicking in, I'm with henk. I don't think the forum look has changed but if you changed devices, flushed your cache, updated your browser, the forum might have defaulted to a different appearance.

@Gordon
I tried your suggestion BUT NOW EVERYONE IS SHOUTING AT ME!. :lol: :lol:
