Title: Small font typing
Post by UnSubRocky on Jul 26th, 2014 at 11:59pm
I am experiencing small type for my responses. Or course it comes up okay for myself and everyone else to read (I assume) once posted. But the typing part makes it hard to read what I am typing. Is there a way of resizing the font so that I can see what I am writing.

Go to view on your toolbar. You'll see zoom. Click on that and you'll see a variety of sizes for the font ranging from 50% to 400%. Click on whatever size suits you.

Sometimes you can accidentally touch something that reduces or enlarges the font, but I haven't a clue which key does that.

I think he means where all the font is normal except the font in the reply box as you're typing.

At the bottom of the reply box on the right hand side, there is a plus and minus sign. They will adjust the text size inside the box for you.

I've learnt something. I've never noticed that little box. I had a problem once with the reply font being so large it had the same affect as if it was tiny. I might have used the View option or restarted the computer at the time.

it should always be on 11 automatically.
when you enlarge or make smaller you need to change it every time. for a new post.

You should also be able to resize the text box by dragging the sides or the bottom right corner.

I found the text size button, and now it's all better. Seems kind of stupid that I had to ask a question when the answer was staring me right in the face as I typed. Much appreciated.
