    This is way too small.

      I don’t know all of the tricks yet. One thing that you can do is to use your mouse to enlarge the text of a previous post. Hold down your control key (Ctrl) on your keyboard and roll the wheel on your mouse away from you. This should enlarge the tect on the page.

      I hope that this helps.

        No, there needs to be a font size changer like other message boards. Then you can set the size and forget it.

        Chuck is correct. If the font size is too small for you, press and hold the Control key while slowly rotating your mouse wheel. That’s a temporary fix. The more permanent fix will take time to research and code.

        Yeah, I haveen’t found a way to do that, either.

      The permanent fix will take some knowledge of CSS and coding. I do not have that background, thus it will take time and effort to learn how to make changes. I have no problem getting into it, but it will not happen immediately.

      I have over 15 years experience with various types of bulletin boards/forums, but I’ve never seen one that allows an immediate font size command that doesn’t input html coding. This particular platform, bbpress, does not have such a feature – not without getting into html and css commands.

      Assuming you gents return to this page, what do you think of the font size now?

        I think that it looks good.

      Thanks for the feedback, Chuck. The fix was easier than I thought it was going to be. The only downside is if Members want to access the forum using their phone. The font size is 18 pixels (up from 11 pixels) and it will show up on a phone also at 18 pixels – that will be tough to handle on a phone (font now too large), but that’s a risk we’ll have to take.
