    Changing the default text size?

    One thing I'm missing from the previous incarnation of the board is the font size. It used to be larger, which I didn't realize was easier to read until I was trying to read this smaller size.

    Is there any way to implement an option to change the default text size? (I.e., when people don't compose a message specifying the size.) I've looked in the "settings" tab and don't see anything.

    One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
    The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

    We'll look into it. Good question.

    As a temporary fix: If you hold CTRL and press + on the NumPad, that will incrementally increase the text size on any site you view (CTRL and - to reverse this).

      I created a new style based on this default one. In the dropdown box below, change the setting from 'Default vB5 Style' to 'Default vB5 Style - Larger Font' and let me know what you think. Too big, not large enough? We can tweak it as needed.

        Oh, that is excellent!! Thanks!

        I had been using the command-plus, but I keep forgetting to reset it going to other websites. The new style works very nicely.
