Default Font sizes....

Font sizes on this forum are very small especially if you run a 20" moniter at 1600x1200 resolution the text is like ants which makes me having to get real close up to the screen to read, which defeats the purpose of having a large moniter. I've changed my text size on the browser around to largest but the text size on here doesn't seem to change. Will there be any chance clublexus consider to use the version BMW and MBworld forum uses? (which is very comfortable to read as the text size can be changed)

My font size changes in the CL forum. What browser are you using? The newest Firefox DOES change font size in the forum. I assume you are running IE, which does not change sizes. Go ahead and download the Mozilla Firefox web browser, it's better anyway. That browser works wonders with CL, I can open 6 different threads in one browser by using the "tabs" feature. It makes great for comparing information found in searches and different threads.

I'm running a 20" flat panel at 1600x1200 and the CL font size is fine for me - no disrespect but maybe you need glasses. The nav bar font that is rather small like this you should see above:

Firefox lets you Ctrl+ or Ctrl- (or CtrlWheelMouseUP/DN) to change font size. Great help for those of us visually challenged before 8am.

Yeah that nav bar on top is even smaller. lol

Just curious what size is your font on CL? This letter " o " measures a little bit over 1mm wide on my screen if that's not too small then you must be are a swiss watch maker or something Lol, and no I don't need glasses I can see it just fine.

It's not a matter of able to see it or not as I can see it very clearly, but its a matter of compactness...everything is just compacted and squeezed together. It's like watching a movie on a 19" screen, yeah it's viewable but it just looks WAY better on a 70" screen

Just check out Mbworld.org and M5board.com and you will see how comfortable it is to read the forums text over there.

I am running 1600x1200 on a 20" and don't have issues with size either. Maybe you are just used to reading the font that is on those sites vs here.

You'd like to read text like this, huh?
