Location: Upper Left USA | Not knowing where else to post my observations and in no way meaning it as negative critiscism here are my notes on the recent board changes.
* Larger font is OK, I didn't have an issue with the size before. I am nearsighted and use high resolutions on my screens so I like to cram as much as will fit in a screen. As a publisher of Newsletters and Safety Memos I got blasted if any of it went out smaller than 12 point - so I can live with it!
* I can post a reply , refresh the string, click out to the "Get Plugged in" and I will not see my post in the summary of posts. Seems to be a delay.
* In the Post summary screen I have about 1 1/2" gap following the words "General Posting" or "For Sale" which is wasted space. I cannot adjust the cell sizes.
* The "Directory" is cool and the enhanced search features are humungously cool!
* Can you support an area for Member Bios?

The column widths I don't have control over. I submitted a trouble ticket to the authors. |

Thank you, Miles!

Location: East Tennessee | Hi,
Again I agree with MWoody. There is a way to change font size in your computer just don't ask me how. I did it once a long time ago and now in a senior moment I can't remember how and don't want to try to do it.
Why do they call them fonts any way??? |

"FONTS" are those things Ben Franklin and the Adams' bro's put their feather quils in to get ink... When they wrote the Declaration of no more dependancy on the Brit's...

Location: NJ | The term "font" is derived from the same root as "found" as in "foundry". Back then, a separate font had to be carved and then cast for each size of type.
Some of the REALLY best jokes circulating through the Colonies started off with:
"You know you're a REDCOAT when . . . . . . " |

Is your hip going out too?
When I find myself explaining my jokes and references to my kids it is a sad thing.
But when they start Playing Gwen Stephani doing a third time remake of something I heard when it came out, I feel much better!
Not too many people will get my Cheech & Chong allusions either. |

Just a different way that Matty says...
Even so, I've done late night senior moment melt trying to read this damn thing. |

That is a good one!!!
My wife is very close to going blind and until we can get her eyes operated on, tricks like that are precious.
She spends a few hours a day on line but has to use a magnifying glass to read small text, I'll show her that so she can try it on some of her web sites.
