Need Bigger Text? Read This!
« on: September 01, 2006, 09:41:49 pm »
To those who may have missed the post  in the Welcome Message about increasing your text size: If you have Internet Explorer as a browser (internet-looker-atter) and you have used the "View" button in your toolbar and are still getting eyestrained trying to read the text, particularly when writing a post, you may want to download Mozilla Firefox and use it as your default browser.

 Go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ and download their free browser. Open the Forum using the Firefox Browser (click on the thingy that pops up on your desktop) and press ctrl and hit the + a couple of times or more and VOILA--HUGE text!! .  Even in the reply post box.  To shrink it back down hit ctrl - .  They call the favorites "bookmarks" and I find them easier to manage than IE. (You tech heads probably know all about this stuff-but alot of us had gray hair before we ever had a computer!)
Any questions, feel free to message me.

Thanks Capt!  You explain it so I understand.  I am computer challenged.  I thought I was going to need stronger glasses or a magnifying glass!
