increase forum font size

[OS]

is it possible to do this? The font size option in explorer doesn't work.

Works for me. Doesn't work in Mozilla though. :|

You have to disable the accessablity options in IE, which then FUBARS the AT site. If you use Firefox, you'll see that the END key crashes the browser if you are typing in a message. There is no escape. You will suffer the wrath of AnandTech.

I think you're having some wierd system errors. The AT site works fine for me, and the end key doesn't crash Mozilla.

Using FF in Slackware here, ctrl + works just fine and i can navigate with home/end when i reply or type in a quick reply.

Did you try the large fonts option in the color themes in personal options in your profile?

FF + Win2K here, FF + WinXP @ home and text resizing and END work perfectly. 😕 Sounds like a problem on your end.

I didn't know about this, just tried it and it works great. Thank you.

Didn't even know about that. Thanks! 😀

Works by the way in Mozilla on OpenBSD/i386. 😉

the large font option helps, but text is still smaller than i'd like it to be, and also extended quotes still go off the right side

The fonts are too small even when personal preferences are set to large fonts.

I have a 14.1" laptop running 1400x1050 and a 20" 1600x1200 desktop monitor.

Yep, I'm really squinting on my notebook, used the colors/large font option...

They will never fix this because they don't think it's broken.

Pretty please with sugar on top an "extra large" font choice?

Please, for the sake of the peepers!

If you have a mouse with a scroll, hold down CTRL and scroll DOWN ONCE. It works for me.

The fonts in threads are okay. I just noticed that the font when replying is extremely small. I run a relatively low resolution on a 19" monitor (1152x864) and I have to squint to make out a question mark. This font can't be changed with the regular font size control in a browser.

If you use Mozilla: hold ctrl and hit the + on the 10 key pad (not sure if it works with the other plus or not). You'll have to do it everytime you open a reply window though. 🙁
