How to Change Text Size in the forum (and other sites)

The great thing about modern browsers is that they allow you to increase the size of text of the page that you are veiwing. It is helpful if you have a hard time seeing small text, or if you want a closer look at something. For right now, I'll show you how to increase the viewing size in Internet Explorer and show you a method that should work in other browsers as well. Smiley

First, there is an important keyboard shortcut that you should know -

Ctrl + + (plus sign) will increase the size of the text and images on the page
Ctrl + - (hyphen/minus sign) will decrease the size of text and images.

For some browsers, Ctrl + 0 will reset the size of the text to normal (this works in Firefox, but not IE).

However for Internet Explorer 7, there is an easy way to find access to the zoom function -

1. Go to the lower right of the window, where you will see a magnifying glass, with 100% next to it.

2. Select a size from the list

And then everything will be larger Smiley

Hope this helps Smiley
