@elizabethl123 It looks just fine to me. P.S. I was having trouble with small print until I had my cataracts removed last June. I now wear no glasses at all with my new multifocal lenses, and I can see like I was 20 again. Do you have cataracts?

The only thing I can't read on these boards is if someone writes one HUGE discussion without using paragraphs. I'm out when that happens.

@elizabethl123 Wow, I'm sorry they didn't have better methods when you had your eyes done. I feel so fortunate to have been able to have mine removed now, when the technology is so much better. I have never even worn glasses (or contact lenses) until I needed them for reading, but even then, it wasn't too bad until I got the cataracts. Then, the bright sun made it hard to drive and my closeup got much worse very quickly. I didn't even realize how dull the colors or the whites had gotten. It's like a whole new world now. I still work full time at a desk job with a computer, so it helps not needing glasses for that. It was expensive, though. These premium lenses are costing me many thousands of dollars, but it's worth it. (I'm 68)

Many of us are aging - we've been good customers for QVC for many years. I was with them when they were CVN. The fact (and it is a fact) that difficultly reading the small print some feel obligated to use isn't anyone's fault. It's just a fact of life that most will eventually experience. If you feel that your thoughts are important enough to share, why not put them in print that everyone can read easily? There are a number of us who would really appreciate that kind of thoughtfulness.

I'm in my 40s and I think the text is rather small.

I'd rather read the default size here, but I can handle a bigger font.

What I have trouble reading is big font ( or really any font) in all caps. It just all seems to run together. People who read transcripts on a regular basis know what I'm talking about. My husband always complains if he get one in all-cap, but thankfully, it is very rare.

I think the text must look different to us depending on what we are using.

I was told by maybe 2 people that my text was so small they couldn't read it.

To me it was larger than the people who said that.

So,now, I use the #3 size text on here and to me it looks huge and larger than most of the ones who say they can't read small text.

It must be the difference in phones/apps/laptops/computers etc.

@suzyQ3, agreed about the big font, particularly in all caps. Really, any size in all caps is hard on the eyes IMO.
