Am I the only one who is tired of having to change the font here every single time I want to type something? If I don't, it's so tiny you can barely see it. This is #4 and it's small.

At the very top right corner or your screen.....just above the "join the facebook banner"......you will see three tiny dots (...). Click on that, and you will be able to enlarge your screen image.

I don't find the font on your post to be small at all. #4 is on the larger side of average.

Each poster has the ability to adjust the display on the device their using.

Set your display to something more comfortable for you.

I have my tablet's display set to "Huge".

I didn't change it this time. Is it the same ??

I've tried changing it under 'edit my preferences' and it still looks small.

@Bridgegal

No, it's smaller than your OP and not as bold.

Your #4 font doesn't look small to me. It's very average sized. I checked both on my Ipad and a desktop PC. Must be something on your end causing it to look small to you. Sorry I don't have any suggestions, but I fiddled with my settings years ago and don't remember what I did at that time. I do know that it's rare for someone's font to look too small to me.

ETA As @lolakimono said, your second post looks a bit smaller and not as bolded.

@Bridgegal Whatever device you are on, go into your "system settings" & change your font default size to large and/or huge.

Go into your browsers Preferences/Tools settings & change the size of your fonts.

Can you see the difference?

Re: Font

@Bridgegal

Under Edit my Preferences for this website I'm at x-large.

But I'm referring to the font display setting for your device. My "Huge" shows me posts at 125%, so it looks bigger on my screen than someone else who has their device's display set at 100%.

It's not about you writing big because it looks better to you.

It's about each of us adjusting the display to what we need to see and read comfortably.

⬆ It appears slightly smaller than your first post.

Yes, for sure! It would be nice to be able to save your preferred setting in the tools of the textbox.

@Bridgegal

All these points of adjustment can be confusing

This is written in the forum's default setting.

This is how your post is written if you don't adjust the font family, size, or color when writing a post.

The default is average size, (just slightly smaller than when you adjust it to size #4) and average contrast. Adjusting font family, size, and color changes the appearance of your post on our screens too.

But the website adjustment under Display in Preferences, and the display adjustment in your device only changes the appearance on your screen, not on ours.

That's what you need to enlarge.

I set the font and I don't have to change it again until I want to, I never want to.

Yes, but I have to change it every time to get it that size. Otherwise, it is really small, as evidenced by what other's have said.

@chrystaltree

Where did you set it? On your device, on QVC preferences, on browser?

Re: Font

Anonymous032819 — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 20:41:48 GMT

There is no way of picking a font size from the drop down menu in the comment box, and then "lock it in" so that you don't have to adjust the font size the next time you comment.

Also, just in case anybody is curious:

• This is font size 1

• This is font size 2

• This is font size 3

• This is font size 4

• This is font size 5

• This is font size 6

• This is font size 7

Hi, @Bridgegal!

As @Anonymous032819, @x Hedge, and others have said, this forum platform doesn't support any features allowing us to set a fixed preference for the text we type in the threads.

The other fixed preferences mentioned in this thread can adjust the size of the entire page, but they have no effect on what we're typing in our post.

As soon as we post our comment, the system sets the font size back to the default (which is roughly the same as size 2, or between 2 and 3 -- it looks smaller on some devices, larger on others).

It's worth noting, also, that the way these posts look to each of us, individually, can vary depending upon our device, operating system, browser, and other factors determining how they interpret the HTML.

This includes text and emoticons... what one of us is seeing isn't always what someone else sees.

Hope that makes sense. I, too, wish we could choose a set of font defaults for our remarks. No such changes will come to this forum platform, as far as I can tell.

Take care, everyone.😊

Perhaps others might increase the font display size for themselves as needed on their screen?

If you're writing in default size and post it, your readers with a screen at 100% will display a size that is comfortable for most readers.

If they need to increase their device's display size to read more easily they may. For example, I use 125%. Its always at 125%.

Every post I see is displayed at 125% size. When I'm writing a post I see it at 125%.

When writing a post I don't fool with increasing the font size. I leave it at default because I realize people have personalized their device's display if they need to have text appear to them in a larger size.

🌿

Font will always return to default size. There is no feature to save the font color, size, or family you prefer to write in.
