Bigger IS better!

[Demon]

Thanks for the larger font size option, Antony! For someone who the optician described as having eyesight consistent with my birth date (so very polite!) it's a great help!

 

[KoshN]

Ditto. I went for the larger font as well.

 

[Fas]

am i the only one who liked it more the other way?

 

[AntonyF]

Fas, no. But does it matter? Just stick with the regular.

 

[Fas]

Just a question, you know, wasn´t going to complain or make a huge drama or anything.

 

[Lyta]

I am the only one who doesn't really notice a difference? I mean the message text is bigger but everything else is still tiny? Maybe it is my insane resolution.

 

[Markas]

Non-N.A. people probably won't get this.

"Fas Knows Drama!"

 

[LightNZ]

I can read it all fine

So, you do notice a difference.

Yes, the improvement is small, and only in the message text area, but it is an improvement.

 

[AntonyF]

I can certainly increase text in other areas... but rather than huffing and puffing and stuff (although I'm replying to his message, not KoshN), I just need details of where things need improving for people.

Antony, when you get to posting more articles, will they all be in the larger text or the smaller? I do like the new larger text option, it's just right now for me. And much easier to read. Thanks!

 

[hypatia]

Antony, I just went back to check on your April 1 "news story" on Kosh. It's now in black print on a dark grey kind of background. It's virtually impossible to read now.

 

[Kribu]

Did you try to refresh it (or use ctrl+F5)? Looks quite fine to me - light text on the dark background - but sometimes the CSS doesn't load properly the first time you open a page.

 

[hypatia]

Yes, now I have. Both refresh and then cntr + F5 and it's still black print on a dark greyish background.

I could probably cut and paste it into word to read it.

I'll check my settings. Maybe when I was messing around with them in the Display area of My Home I changed something. I messed around with it a lot until Antony told me there was no way to make the print size larger. (Now, of course, there is.)

 

[tygirwulf]

I like it both ways, but the larger text is easier on a headache.

 

[hypatia]

No there doesn't seem to be any way to change background color. Well, as I said it's not that big a deal. The pictures are very clear and the text, as I said, I can probably cut and paste. It's just odd how it's looking different to different people.

 

[Kribu]

Ah ha... now it's the same for me, after refresh. I suppose the correct version was still in my cache, which is why I didn't see the black-on-grey at first.

On closer examination, it looks like the Kosh article page uses a CSS file that doesn't exist any more, so it would have to be updated.

 

[AntonyF]

The Kosh article is fixed, thanks.

 

[hypatia]

Yea, it's back to white on grey now, so it's readable. Thanks, Antony!

Heh, not sure if I fall into that huffing and puffing stuff (I'm a big bad wolf! ) but I honestly didn't see how increasing the message text as a huge improvement like everyone was making it out to be.

I am still using the standard CSS file since I think all the font sizes need to be bumped up a notch. With only the message text being larger, I think it looks inconsistant with the rest of the site.

*goes back to using 120% zoom*

The only place where the formatting looks strange in 120% zoom, is the main forum listing page (http://forums.b5tv.com/ubbthreads.php). Everything else looks much better with a larger font. Just MHO of course!
