Change The Font On Xbox-scene
« on: August 12, 2006, 02:20:00 PM »
Could you use a different or larger font on the main page? I like to read the stories, but the combination of the text size and color makes it difficult.

If I find a story I would like to read I have to copy it into notepad to read it better. I have 20/20 vision, so that isn't the problem. I select the largest text size in IE, but the text won't increase.

My two cents worth.

Keep up the good work. I enjoy the site.

might want to give firefox a try too, i can't belive people still use IE., like brahm said, control + + should fix it for you. if that doesn't do the trick, maybe its your display settings on your monitor since the stories are easy to read on any computer i've looked at X-S on (which is quite a few machines). just out of curiousity, when you paste in to notepad, how many points in the font your reading it in?

I know, I have d/l Firefox but have been too busy(lazy) to switch over.

I have tried going to View|Text Size|Largest and it doesn't change.

I changed my desktop from 1024 to 800. It made it a little easier to read, but the text size still wouldn't change. I tried the CTRL + also. I like 1024 so I can see all of the forum text without scrolling.

I may try switching to Firefox later and see what happens.

My biggest problem is with the italics. When I copy to the notepad, the font is 12.

Thanks.

Nope - Lasik surgery worked. 20/20 vision.

Firefox worked though. I installed it and it let me enlarge the fonts.

It will take some getting used to. My biggest thing about IE I liked is pressing CTRL O to open an address window. When you type an address in there, it doesn't go into your history. Great for one time sites you don't want cluttering your drop down address history.

Maybe someone here will tell me how to do it in FireFox.  biggrin.gif

If you wanna delete the porn sites from the drop down just highlight and press shift+del.  biggrin.gif
