    For about a week now the font size in the message text has been so tiny that its difficult to read. When you preview a message you are going to post the font is a more normal size.

    I don't remember things working this way when the software was changed a couple of weeks ago. Is there a way to get the preview size fonts used when you are reading other threads?

    Thanks!

    Can you please describe your environment, e.g. browser, platform, monitor resolution, monitor size? The font size varies across browsers and platforms, so additional information would be helpful.

    Also, have you tried increasing the font size using your browser? Most modern browsers will allow you to increase/decrease the font provided CSS are being used (which they are here.) However, we have received a few reports from visitors for whom this function does not work.

    Sincerely,

    One day it was one size for me and the next day it shrunk to the tiny size:
    I haven't made any changes on my computer so that's not what caused this.

    I don't see how the elderly or visually handicapped can ever read it:

    Well I am at 1024X768 resolution on a 19" monitor, and it is a little smaller than before but still legible. If it is too small, change resolution.

    Mainly I use a 15th inch monitor and occationally I'll browse with my 17 inch. I have a resolution of 800x600 using Win98SE. The text is so small from 3 feet I have to adjust my sitting position. I have 20/20. Changeing the browers text size does not effext the text on this board.

    Windows Whistler Beta 2, IE 6.0.2462.

    The message preview font and the signature lines are normal size, but the message body is very very small.

    The font sixe changed for me too - back before the board changed. It is definitely smaller than it was at first. I have 1024X768, 17" monitor, I use IE. I changed the font size to large but it is still smaller than it used to be.

    Now the font sizes on everything else are huge. It's either that, or take the time to change back and forth between fonts.

    Font size has also changed for me.
    About a week ago it went to about 6-8 pt. font
    Default browser IE 5.5

    Just tried creditnet using Opera 5 browser with same results on font size, only difference is it treats me as a guest which I understand.

    19 inch monitor, 1024x768 resolution

    Changing view size to large makes no difference on size of font on creditnet straight talk.Still works
    on all other websites.

    Interesting observation of note. Some authors names at bottom of their posts are still being shown in the old font size, even though the main text is being displayed in small font.
    This is seen in about 5-10% of posts.

    The font size has been increased, but you may have to clear your cache and/or quit your browser and relaunch it to see the change.

    We are still looking into why the font does not increase by using your browser's increase font-size function.

    We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this problem.

    I just closed all instances of my browser and re-launched. Nothing happened to the font size.
