Changing Forum Format

[Tim]

Is it possible to change the default setting on the forums to use a slightly larger font size for messages posted and/or create more white space between lines? Ever since the new forums opened, I've had difficulty reading the smaller print size. I've noticed that a number of other forums use a larger default font size than this one.

This could be chalked up to aging, presbyopic eyes and maybe no one else has this issue.

Thanks for asking about this. My "solution" has been to always click on the "print" format before reading a post. That increases the font size enough to be manageable for me.

As for breaking up the texts, I know that too large a "paragraph" also inhibits my reading quickly--something to do with how I've been TAUGHT to read, I think---scanning the center of a a body of words. In any case, I'm guessing that that "problem" would be helped if we just reminded one another from time to time to "edit" our texts a bit, with a "view" (pun intended) toward making things more "reader-friendly!"

AND...while I'm at it...my apologies to you and all here for the times in which I've probably added to the very problem you've mentioned. I well remember the droll comment of one of my university professors advising me not to try to summarize all of my thought in one sentence!!! ;) :D

Thanks for "being" here, Tim...and for speaking up about a need which I'm guessing others might have as well.

Blessings--

Works for me. Thanks for the helpful hint! Some of this problem for me is undoubtedly my ADD. I need white spaces and break-up of text. For that reason I prefer hardback rather than paperback-sized books. And audio books are heaven-sent for those with ADD. There are some terrific book narrators out there.

Speaking of ADD, in an inadvertent nod to ADDers, manufacturers of T-shirts are now making no-tag versions (I just purchased a pack at J C Penney). The labels on clothes rubbing against my skin drives me up the wall, and I usually cut them off.

Andrew is the same way about tags. He does MUCH better with the tagless undershirts they have now, with the information imprinted just under the neckband in the back.

I am still in denial about my presbyterian eyes, but thanks for noting the problem, as reading this small font does cause problems for people of a 'certain age'..
