Customizing forum font size

[sonicworld]

I have a high resolution LCD and the forum font size displays very small. There used to be a way to customize the forum's font size but now I can't seem to find it...is it still available and if so where? Thanks.

There is a color theme called "Large Fonts" that will make the text in threads bigger. The actual color scheme is the same as the one labeled "Cool".

As far as I know you can't have large text with any of the other color themes. It seems to me that they just removed any option for the user to customize fonts and threw the "Large Font" color theme in as a last minute workaround.

You can change your color theme under your Personal Options.

If you use a gecko based browser you can change this in the userContent.css. There's one floating around (look for CTho9305's sig) that does it. There might be a way to do something similar in IE, but I haven't tried.

fyi, in mozilla firefox, you can hold control and scroll the mousewheel to change text size.

You can do that in IE also but it doesn't seem to work on AT.

That's because fusetalk thinks it is too important to conform to the settings a user tries to use.

Actually it works for me on the AT forums, but when I change the text size on the AT main page it makes a mess. It forces me to scroll down through around 6 blank pages before I can read the articles; it's actually quite annoying. Firefox keeps crashing on me whenever I use the END key while typing a message (which is quite often) so I'm starting to feel like I can't find a browser which can properly run AT.

They're doing that "upgrade" to Microsoft software on Saturday, so hopefully that will fix things. I don't trust it though. It's my opinion that AT should be hosted on Linux, preferrably running on a cluster of Opterons.

With the track record they have, I don't think Linux is right for them. Heck, from reading the Linux section of the main page I can tell Linux isn't right for them.
