Font Size

[Hobo Willy]

Could you increase the size of the text fonts alittle?

The font size on the left forum pages is perfect.

and....

No inserting images anymore??

I believe the fonts are the same as what was on the old forum?

Sure, you can insert any image you like. Same code as with the old forum, just put the link to the image between the and codes. Or, hit the reply button instead of using the "Quick Reply" button at the bottom of the thread. Then you can use whatever editor you choose (in your user options) to generate your post/reply, from a simple text editor to a full WYSIWYG editor.

I would really llike a larger font also! That would be great!

i thought the font size stayed the same too? although the screen-names are a big gi-hugeous :)

Hobo and Myredyota, you can increase the size with your mouse. just hold the CONTROL button on the keyboard, and roll the little wheel on the mouse up or down (if your mouse has one between the left and right click). i know i've accidentally done that and found the BB really screwed up-

That works great on the left side of the page (and is really cool by the way!) but not on the actual post that we are trying to read.

weird, it used to have the opposite effect with the old BB software :confused:

Believe it or not, the inability to resize the text on your browser (as Longboy mentioned) is an Internet Explorer issue :rolleyes: The resizing should work fine in Opera, Mozilla, etc. There is a way around it, but it makes the forums real ugly. If I can find a way to implement an IE friendly method of resizing I will, but I won't be able to do that anytime soon.

Thanks Eric! I use Avant Browser which is like IE with some add ons.

Simple fix Eric.

Just remove the 10pt definition from the style sheet...

td, th, p, li
{
font: 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

td, th, p, li
{
font: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

I am really shocked that Jelsoft still hasn't figured out how to code CSS worth a damn. Inlining the CSS in each page can cost you gigabytes of traffic per month, since a linked style sheet is cached by the browser.

So the new version of Avant Browser allows the user to change the view of the page up to 500%! I set mine @ 125% and will try it for awhile.

I had to do this damn re-sizing shait where I work w/ ie 6 and just added a static set of CSS's that users could pick in their preferences. Added the phawker dynamically to the response object. In the preferences page I also added a "pre-view" button which accesses the DOM through JS and applies the new one.

I dunno if you care . . .:D
