Ours are just the same as the majority of vbulletin forums (i.e. default) and very unlikely to be changed.

Most modern browsers allow you to control the font size through the browser if your eye sight doesn't allow you to view websites comfortably ....

Pressing CTRL+ and CTRL- will scale websites in Firefox and Internet Explorer 7. I am not sure about other browsers.

The lines in that post are basically on top of each other.

btw, you are the one who played in this post, so you're the one responsible with the display...

change the fonts and that will fix everything...

and btw, in my FF Mac 2.0 it looks just ok,... the fonts are just too big and for no reason.

That post is way OTT.

Text size reduced, there is no requirement to post such annoying large text.

Pardon? Why is that text annoyingly large? Everything is annoyingly tiny on this site :p

I'm talking about the lists, the lines are so close to each other, and you can't add new lines between them (breaks numeration).

I don't see the text as very large on that link Paul?

Edit: Nevermind, i see you edited it :)

actually, making the general font-size to 12points is not only for "your" eyes, but for most of the browsers compatibility...

as i think, you surely have a widescreen, with a high definition, so you see the text in very small...

but 45% of the net users actually use their screen to 1024px... so the 12 points font is just great for them... the other counterparts can always resize their fonts with their browsers setting, like everybody here suggest...

Agreed, 12pt is perfect.

But here you go:

font: 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

Pressing CTRL+ and CTRL- will scale websites in Firefox and Internet Explorer 7. I am not sure about other browsers.
Or "CTRL + MOUSEWHEEL UP" and "CTRL + MOUSEWHEEL DOWN".
It's pretty easy this way. :) Hold one button and use the mouse wheel. :)
