Trying to read a post with small lettering

Goodie2shoes — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 21:00:17 GMT

When trying to read some posters responses it's very difficult to read the tiny lettering they use. I sometimes just move on to the next response but in all do respect I would have liked to read that post to get the poster's view on the topic. So my question is: is there a way to size up the lettering in a post where the lettering is so small that even with glasses on it's difficult to read it ? I always use the size 4 font and wonder if everyone can read my post but is there anyway to enlarge the font size of another poster's response so it's easier to read ? I can always read @Kachina624's posts !

I'm using Chrome. I can click on the 3 tiny dots at top right of page to zoom in. I have mine set on 125% instead of 100%.

@chrystaltree

Everyone is on their phone or ipad doing that.

I hate using my phone for anything other than texting. I do talk on the phone every once in a while but I prefer a text.

I use my desktop computer for everything else. I can SEE the whole screen to see what I'm doing?

Well I never thought about doing that !! I just did it on your post and it enlarged the post of course !! Thanks so much !

I have always just tried to read the post and moved on if the letters are to small as I noted. Thank You all for your responses !

I use small font but am on my phone & can’t enlarge it. I can on my iPad so I enlarge the font during use.

@Goodie2shoes. I always increase the size of the font using my Samsung tablet. However, sometimes it's just not in the mood and when posted is the irritating small print which I hate. When I edit it, I usually make a mess so I've given up. You may see some of my posts in small print as a result.

On my computer keyboard I press command then go up and press the + button a couple of times to enlarge the page. I press the - button to decrease the size.

Font size 3.

Change the font on your computer. Make it as large as you need it to be.

@Goodie2shoes

If I really REALLY want to read something, I copy and paste it into "notes"

Then I can format the written text any way I'd like it.

do I have to reset font every time I text. ? Cause I haven't found a way to set it for good. I am trying new font and size here, as I can't read my own texts, but forget to reset size each time. Then if I need to edit it, it goes back to default. Deep sigh here!!

EVERYTHING is large enough for me to read on these forums.

I have NO IDEA what I "might" have done to enable this...

Just enlarge the print. It's not as bad as the one who don't use paragraphs, or punctuation.

I use the #4 font as well. If it's a long post in small letters, I skip it until maybe my cataracts are removed in Decemeber.

I skip posts that are too small, too large, bright colors, and no paragraghs.

I'm with you @Bri369 I myself use the font 4 when posting, even when I send personal emails for much easier reading.

If you are on a computer, press the Control key and the + key together. That will enlarge the web page.

Even at my advanced age , I can still read the small print. What I have a problem with, for some reason I can't seem to fathom, I have a hard time with the pink font. So I just pass on those posts.
