Default Font Size Can Now be Changed

It took us a while, but we've implemented some new code that will allow you to use your browser-based text size control to change the font size on the page. Right now it will work on everything except the forums. phpBB has some very quirky coding when it comes to fonts, and it's not something we can change. But for the home page, article pages, and every other non-forum page, you can change the font size. Because we use a smaller font for the right-hand column, if you set your browser to "smaller" these may become too small to read. We'll look at changing it, but in all honesty I think the default font size we currently have looks pretty good right now. This change is more for those of you who need things to be bigger, not smaller.

Sorry it took us so long - we've been working on some huge updates and this one just got bumped down in priority a little. ops: But I'm glad you like it! :mrgreen:

I agree, excellent improvement for those of us with high resolution LCD monitors.

Thanks,
Duane

Of course people using Mozilla can change the fonts on the forums anyway, or any oher page for that matter (Ctrl++, Crtl+-). Thanks for working around IE's shortcomings, b/c there are times when it must be used.

Wish they'd bring Moz to the PPC.

I set mine to "Smaller" and it gives me more "room" on the from page, if you know what I mean. :wink:
