A plea to posters

depglass — Sun, 29 Jan 2023 15:41:27 GMT

It seems my eyes are getting worse by the day so . . .

Please use a larger font !

@depglass-- is this big enough? A while back I settled on this #4 size in the font size choices above. Before I post, I always choose that option. But I wonder if even that is a comfortable reading size for most?

I have pretty good eyesight but if a poster posts in small font size and the comment seems exceedingly long, I just ignore it and move on. I don't even bother reading it.

@depglass, Having known a few people with vision issues, I have always posted in size 3 front and in bold.

Does this make it easier for you to read?

If the IT people or who ever it is that is responsible for the forums knew WTH they were doing we would be able to set the font to a certain size and have it stay that way, not have us change it every time we comment on a post.

@depglass

I started using #5. How's that?

@depglass No problem changing my font to #5 instread of #4.

Check them out and let us know what's the most comfortable for you.

BTW, this is #4.

I try to use #4 most of the time.

I have trouble with the smaller fonts too.

I had been using #4, but now I use #5. It can't harm and may make reading easier for some. I too wish we could choose a size in preferences instead of having to select it every time. Also, if I try to make another paragraph, the font will often go back to tiny size.

I was using 4 but will switch to 5.

Thank you for letting us know. I will try to remember. Is there a place in settings to select a larger font or does it need to be done every time?

@depglass - I've always used a #4 size. Does this work for you?

I would like to add that everyone please use paragraphs for longer posts.

#4 seems to work for most people. For me what I don't like are all the different color fonts especially if a blue follows a red and so on.

But life goes on.

@depglass please let us know what works for you.

I am technology challenged and never realized it was so easy to do this. Thanks to the posters who described what to do in order to change font size. (I still don't know how to put pictures into my computer and then insert them into posts!)

Just using the emojis was a leap forward for this techno-bozo!!

@781Florist - I agree with you, I just get by with just the basics!

I would like to know how to use paragraphs ,when posting. That was 4,this is 5.

This is Georgia font size 3 which I usually use.

This is Georgia font size 4

Should I size up to 4?

When I first started someone kindly told me my original font and size was too small which I greatly appreciated.

I doubt you're going to get cooperation across the board. Some people don't know how to use the forum features. There's always the option of enlarging your screen.

Re: A plea to posters

BlueFinch — Sun, 29 Jan 2023 17:29:09 GMT

This is font size 1. I won't even try to read these posts, or font size 2. Font 3 is an improvement. Font 4 should be good for most, even with challenged eyesight. Font 5 really steps it up. I can read it without my readers.

@depglass, what device do you use to access the forums? If using Windows you can enlarge the screen and text by holding the control key and scroll up or down to a comfortable size.

I don't know the mechanics but that feature should be available across the various devices and operating systems.
