Topic: message type titchy

[lottie lou]

How can I make the type in the message box bigger.  Its so tiny I can hardly read it.  I know about holding the control key down whilst scrolling but when I return to the site the text is then enormous.

I didn't even know that  :)

On my computer if you press control and then the += key the text gets bigger  and the control _- kkey it then becomes smaller.

I believe this is something you should do in the
Control Panel but I just had a look and could not find it.
I do the same as the OP and click CTRL AND +

I'll come back if I do find it.

i used page, which is above the top above A4ALL on the heading on the r/h side then text, gives options largest, larger,medium, smaller, smallest, hope that works

To make the font larger in general you need to go to Control Panel
Personalisation and then DPI scaling. This is in Vista.

Lottie Lou,

This could be the answer but it is a bit techy.
On this board the tex area we type in is displayed in a font and style that is set by Dan in what is called a style sheet.  It could be that the font specified is not installed on your PC or is corrupt.  Your PC will substitute anothe font which is why it may look odd.

It is unlikely as this is set to a font called Verdana which is everywhere on all devices...
Are you on XP or Win 7?

You could try writing some text in a word doc and then chnage the font to Verdana to see if it looks ok.
I would also try clearing Temp internet files and cookies...
