I noticed the same thing, so it's not on your end. I was wondering the same thing, too, so I'm glad to know that it's not "on my end". It looks like the font size and style have changed a bit.

YES, it is harder to read!! *NM*

Re: type of print

I noticed it this afternoon. I went to check my preferences. I immediately realized how primitive out choices are. Alas, we have no control over FONT, color, avatars, correcting mistakes (editing), etc., etc. Of course, maybe all of the extra revenue that the $300.00 doc fee brings the "hobby" will finance an upgrade of this website.

Re: type of print

Go up to the top tool bar and click on 'View'. When tat menu drops down click on 'Text Size'. You can change the size there.

Rob,

Thanks for the info. I never knew I had that option.

Re: YES, it is harder to read!!

Thanks for bringing it up Clem. I thought it was my old eyes going bad so I went to the GMC to get my driving glasses that are pretty strong and then I said whew it's not me it's the new font. It's hard on the eyes. If I could figure out how to tone down the glare on the monitor it would be easier to read. I could use a nice bigger screen as my new PC came with one that is only 17' measuring on a diagonal. Just measured it. Shoulda paid the extra bucks and upgraded to one of those 32" jobs. JD

Re: type of print

WOW ROB, Thanks so much. My font size was set on medium. Raised it to large. Now I'm going back and raise it up to XL. Appreciate the tip. Neat. John

Re: type of print

Terry,I just clicked on the largest font and now I don't need a bigger monitor. Best tip on the DB for us in a long time. Now if I could just figure out how to work my new Sony Cypershot. Whew. JD

Re: type of print

Last time this happened it was because John W changed the font in the header at the top of the page, and didn't change it back before the thread titles begin. Has anyone emailed him?

In addition to the SIZE of the display

you can also change the display FONT to something you might prefer more than the defaults.

Go to Tools-> Internet Options->General-> Fonts is a button toward the bottom of that window. Click Fonts and scroll through the choices offered in the left hand column. I like 'Arial' as being easier to read, but that's just me.

Re: type of print

Clem and All,

Sorry about the new font. I did an edit in the header and missed a font tag that was extra.

It is fixed now.

If you want to change your text size quickly and you have a scroll mouse you can hold the Ctrl key and turn your scroll wheel to increase or decrease the size of your text on the fly. It is a little cheaper than that new 32" widescreen monitor.
