It might be helpful to log out and read this post, and I think the difference will be more clear.

These are very different, and I believe it's the small size in example #1 which makes most of the posts more difficult to read for many posters.  Most of us don't want to have to stop and change these things for every post we submit.

It's part of basic ergonomics, and I'm surprised the design wasn't more carefully thought out.  What might seem like tiny details can make a huge difference to users.

dooBdoo,

This is interesting.  On my screen, your #2 is the smallest example.  #1 and #3 appear to be the same size and are larger than #2.  It makes it seem like font size 4 is the default font.  Does anyone else see this differently than I do?

That's very interesting, @NickNack1.  I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that all 3 aren't identical sentences (which would be odd, but that's the only thing I can think of right now).

I'll try 4 sentences that are identical but I'll place them in a separate post to follow this one, to simplifiy things.

Testing font sizes so we can see how they appear to us when we're logged in and also how they look after we log out. 

~~~~~~

1 -- This is font size 1.

2 -- This is font size 2.

3 -- This is font size 3.

4 -- This is font size 4.

~~~~~~

dooBdoo, those are different sizes.  Very strange that the others appeared the way they did.  When you quoted my post to you I could see your original post.  They appeared the way you wanted them to appear in that one.

I would like to know if this is in the works?

Q Social Team?

Again, QVC, please, please will you adjust the reply font?  It is too small to see....

dooBdoo:  I completely agree with you!!  I thought I was the only one having the problem and not being able to figure out how to make the font size larger when I am typing a post. 

I sure hope they read this thread and make the improvement.  Thanks for starting this thread.

Edited to add:  I just now saw how long ago you did start this thread....good grief!  I guess the Q doesn't care.....

        I know, @DottieBlue!  I was surprised to see it pop up again, but that speaks to the need for a change...  though I agree with you that it probably won't happen.

I type all of my replies in BOLD (B) so they can easily be read.  I think it helps a lot.

I always have to change the fonts before I type because I find this size (3) the easiest to read, and I like the semi-cursive Comic Sans font. 

It would be wonderful if each of us could pick our default font and size and not have to change it every time.

Most of us need the larger fonts, why not make them larger to begin with?

The default font size is too small when using the Safari browser on an ipad. This should have been caught and dealt with during Q&A before the Lithium boards were rolled out permanently last summer.

But my guess is that Lithium's message board software is a "one size fits most" and QVC IT didn't think that far ahead to customize it for their customers who tend to be middle aged and above and who need and use reading glasses.
