• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Did something change? Now need a magnifying glass to read this Font size, even on extra large font - what am I missing?

Did something change? I used to have large font and was able to read the forum. Now I need a magnifying glass to read. I’ve set to extra large font but, nothing changes. What setting am I missing?

This just happened recently.

That is most likely your browser doing it. It may have been set for larger type size and an update or something made it go back to default size.

There should be either 3 vertical dot or maybe 3 lines, possible just the word "Settings" someplace on the top of your browser. Most are on the top right side, but not all. It will open a dropdown menu. Look for a Zoom link, or maybe a text link with a % number by it. Run it up the whatever is easy to read and leave it there. The text size is adjustable in the browser, but it depends on which browser you use just what it is called and where it is located.

I don't believe anything has changed recently, and while the font size I'm seeing now is certainly a little larger than the previous platform's 'standard font', so it's easier for me to read, there's been no change that I'm aware of since the platform change some months back.

If you're not seeing any changes after you've tried changing your preferences, have you been refreshing the screen?? Or failing that: - logging off the Forum; stopping & restarting your device; then logging onto the Forum again?? Or looking into your browser settings as @Gwolf has suggested?

Either way, I'll check in to see if anything has occurred that would be making a difference, but since it seems to be just you experiencing this (at least so far - anyone else want to chime in??) I suspect that it'll most likely be something on your end?? :unsure:
 
If you are using windows and a mouse with a scroll wheel you may have pressed the control button when you rotated the wheel, changing the font size.
 
You haven't had one of those surreptitious browser updates recently, have you?? :unsure:

Every time I finally get comfortable with the way it all operates now, one of those bleedin' browser or operating system updates pops up, usually for some BS 'Security' or 'Fixing a potential Firewall breach' reason, and Pffft!! :eek: Instantly, everything changes, and I hafta call my 5 year old Grandson to come around and teach me how to use it all... AGAIN! 😖

You'd think once they get these things working, they'd just run with it for at least a few years, wouldn't you?! :mad:
