Can we PLEASE increase the font size in the new G-T?

[capnhiho]

Have mercy on us geezers! It’s REALLY difficult to read posts in the mobile (app) version of the new software.

Thanks for all you do…

Also, not to hijack the cap’n’s post, but could the threads please be listed chronologically? I see one from June, one from August, one from July 2018! and so on, all mixed up.

1000% agree. It's the biggest problem for me in this new format. Can we please increase the font size?

 

[nickurso]

I have to agree. As an older member the font is small and it’s hard to read

 

[thunder58]

I have to agree with you @capnhiho on that but I think whats done is done

 

[thunder58]

@Jelly Roll Horton , maybe this will help ........
My home screen is all the forum sections listed as I'm sure yours is too ( starting with " Forum Announcements , then Forum issues , problems .... )

** Click up top on " New Posts " - then click on " What's new " - scroll to bottom and click on " View more " Some extra steps , but it will look more familiar to you

Also : at the right side of the home screen is a " Lightning Bolt " icon ( also says " new posts " ) . Click on that and then click on " whats new "

 

[audept]

Thanks in advance.....

Some forum software allows for adjusting the font under preferences. I can't find it here. Many browsers will allow you to increase the size of the page, which might be the way to go.

iOS15 on my iPhone has options to make the font larger(oddly not smaller), use a different font, or set the zoom-in functionality.

On my macs I always had different keyboard shortcuts to enlarge the text, usually including the “+” key

How about this? Does it look like I'm shouting?

Fine!
What’s the secret?
This geezer hasn’t found the settings yet…

Formerly I would simply rotate my phone 90 degrees which would increase the image (and therefore the relative font size) sufficiently. That technique doesn’t work with the new software…

The font size should be in the device or the app. Generally you would not want to rely on the site as rhen you could have varying sizes at different sites. It's not a forum issue, it is a user issue.

I use a Samsung phone and was able to change fonts in settings on the device.

Giant font:
My regular font:

Do a web search for (insert your device name) font size.

But this only affects this one message and not the rest of the forum. Everything else is still in the regular font.

What device are you using?
IPhone? Phone with Android? Other?

You can increase size font through the "accessibility" settings on your device.
If you indicate what's you're using, we can explain how to modify the settings.

On my Samsung android I can also use two fingers to magnify anything.

Do a web search for (insert your device name) font size.

So every other website I look at hasn’t changed, while the updated GT looks different, yet it’s my browsers fault - doubtful. This is using my MS Surface Pro.

On a somewhat related topic, can we have Recent Posts back?
