default font size -- forum

[ianrb]

Personally; I'm finding the forums default font size too small --- I know I can use Ctrl +/-  but .................. .
I would prefer 16 or even 18 as that is more in balance with photo sizes 
I even tried washing my classes with my clothes ------ don't make  much difference 
Cheers Cheers or  Cheers
default  ..16 ......  .. 18

Every browser nowadays has or offers zooming here, some of them allow just for text too ...

I believe it's overall a matter of taste and physical eye sight capabilities here.

And personally, I find it just right

Depends what browser you use Safari has an option to never use a font size smaller than 9pt and up to 24pt on the Advanced tab

Firefox has similar under it's settings 

Google the same can be done.

1. Open Settings. 2. Find "Font size" and set it to the custom option. 3. Click "Customize fonts." 4. Change the minimum and regular sizes.

thanks for that; I will look into it however I feel the settings I'm thinking about are resettingable by the forum admin

I doubt, they will change the settings worldwide lol!

I don't have the big dangerous buttons in the forum I moderate; but I have a feeling the default font was adjusted at some time in the 10 years I have been there with an embarrassing 27,500 posts  -- I have backed from there of late
The settings now used on this forum would likely be "as supplied default" --- but there are lots of default settings that can be changed like the  default font size 
It's not a big drama; just thought it was worth asking . I find photos are better viewed here at 90% and fonts at 110/125% . I can not view a full photo when at 100% so   use 90% [using Ctrl -/+]

Its all personal choice Ian, as long as you get what you want and feel comfortable with it, that's the main thing.

They may well be something the admins can change. The question I would have to ask, if I were one of them, is whether that should be done simply because one user would prefer them to be changed. Affecting the experiences of all users is not a step taken lightly.

Some browsers allow you to define a ‘user stylesheet’. If your browser is one of those, you can easily tailor your own experience without affecting anyone else.
