I don't see the text in color as you have it, but have no problem reading the size type (and I am old!).

There is one poster who uses really large type and it takes up so much room (making the posts rather long) that I don't read her messages when I see them. I just move right along, skipping her posts. She probably says some really nice and interesting things, but the larger than necessary type is not how I like to read things.

Nor when everything is put in CAPS. I feel like I am being yelled at. I skip those too.

I see no problem. Enlarge it at your end. Easy peasy.

It's teenie tiny and I have to strain to read it. I am on a desk top computer right now. I also do not see that it is color, it's black, but very hard to read.

ITA.

On a mobile device...just a 2-finger flick.

On a desktop...tap-tap-tap, boom its larger.

Such an easy concept to fix on the reader end.

I'm going to say it again.

It doesn't seem to matter, how much we enlarge the posts. This is a 4 that I selected from the QVC font sizes up above the post.

I have read other 4's and it is fine to read on here but if I read on my iphone it is very tiny and hard to read.

So it depends on what we are enlarging our font on-laptop, computer, iphone, etc. and what we are reading it on!

So no matter what someone tries, it might not help at all.

I think it is the QVC website itself that is not set up efficiently for every device and making their software work the same on every device.

Unless I'm wrong, (but as Monk likes to say), "which, you know, I"m not."

At least I think that might be the problem here.

It’s not about enlarging the font,

it’s about enlarging the SCREEN.

And that is up to each individual user.

Again, it’s a 2-finger flick.

Easy-peasy, as said above☝️☝️💛

IDN how someone would automatically get such small a font as the OP posted.

Re: This is a great example

chrystaltree — Sat, 13 Jul 2019 20:53:39 GMT

Yes but so what? Posters can use any colors or size font they choose to use. I'm ok with that. If I can't read something, I skip over it and go on to the next thread or the next post. We don't read everything on this board.

Right. This is the size we get when we use #1, the smallest size available.

Sorry, the color did not show when I copied and pasted.

Odd thing is I have another thread on this subject and most everyone agreed that people need to use larger font.

Now this thread seems to be going the opposite.??? One never knows which way the pendulum will swing.

When something is too small on my screen...TG for touch screens!

I admit I'm much too lazy - these forums are supposed to be fun. There is a default size and anything that is different will have had to be changed per post. Who would type and change the font size to tiny?

I only change font size and color for effect which is rare.

But then, I reading from my laptop.

I was reading a thread today where someone had made a fairly long reply in size 1. It was way too small for me to read, so I skipped over it. I don't want to enlarge my screen to read a tiny post. I'll just skip it. I use a size 3, but I've noticed many people use a 4. I'm fine with either. I can't imagine why anyone would change their font size to the smallest size.

Just curious......then why did you post another thread about the same thing?

Venezia — Sat, 13 Jul 2019 23:03:55 GMT

This is the size I get, when I use 1, the smallest size font, so I think a lot of it depends on your own system.

This is 2.

This is 3.

And so on....

And I'm not sure what one poster means by "tap, tap, tap" to enlarge a font. Tap on what?

(ETA: I'm working with a 27" desktop screen and it's maximized, so enlarging the screen isn't an option. Sometimes fonts really are just too tiny to read and I skip over them.)

@World Traveler .......as I said this is an example and made a new thread so posters could see what I was talking about.

faeriemoon — Sun, 14 Jul 2019 19:58:59 GMT

I skip over teeny tiny posts. Sorry; can't see them.

(And I'm not old.)

@sunshine45 ...............I posted that the color did not show up when I copied and pasted (in another response).

. There are a lot of us mature gals here that cant read the small print. I use the #4 font, so others can read my most informative, valuable imput! LOL!
