Trying to read a post with small lettering

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 ! Woman LOL

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%.

I can enlarge the print with my fingers.

I always on my smart phone.  I use my fingers to enlarge the phone on my screen.

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.

Re: Trying to read a post with small lettering

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.
