    Increase/decrease font size

    I have seen on other boards running similar software that there is a mod that adds a +/- button so that you can increase your font size.
    I know you can increase the screen size on your browser, but I think just being able to increase the font size on a particular thread would be a great help to all of us old farts that are starting to have trouble seeing the small fonts that are currently being used.
    Democrats believe that "politics is war by other means." And they are at war with America, with common sense and even common decency. Those who would mount an effective opposition had better have a high tolerance for slime, slander and abuse.

    Yeah, but then you have to scroll from side to side, whereas with the font increase/decrease buttons, everything but the font stays the same.

    Sorry Marie, I don't need Medicare. I pay my own bills.
    Maybe Obamacare can get you that much needed brain transplant, if they can find a monkey willing to trade for yours.

    Oh, my bad. It sounded like you were asking someone else to solve your own problem.

    Don't try to think. You're ill-equipped for it.
