Show Thread Enhancements - Thread Font Resize - by StarBuG

Introduction:
I am StarBuG, a clinical Physician for Children, and I am running several health Forums to support patients with medical questions. Due to the nature of my forums my visitors are mostly not very tech-savvy. Also I am attracting a lot of older people who might be visually impaired that is why I created this mod.

I know that every browser supports this feature by clicking CTRL + plus or minus but
for non tech-savvy people this browser feature might be unknown to them.

What this mod does:
This mod adds two buttons above every thread and private message which
lets your users increase or decrease the font size of a thread without reloading
the page. This increases the website accessibility.

Installation instructions:
See the readme.txt file inside the doc (do-not-upload) folder

This Product utilizes the Template Modification System. If you use the TMS no template edits are needed. If you don't use the TMS you have to edit 2 templates.

You can edit the CSS for your needs in the fontresize.css

Don't forget to Mark as Installed

Live Demo: Patientenfragen.net

Version History:
v1.0: Initial release
v1.1: Added support for Private Messages

Feedback is welcome

Suggestion for future mods or changes to this one.

We'd love to have this type of capability as an option an individual member can set under his own personal options, so he doesn't have to do it when he reads every thread .. :up:

Again, nice work ... thanks ..

Regards,
Doug

Thanks ...

I've had some feedback from testing our site's header, indicating that there are some minor display issues on IE. Apparently, running IE9 in compatibility mode works perfect, though IE6 under XP showed some extra gaps. The site looks perfect in Safari, Chrome and Firefox.

With your CSS and HTML knowledge, would you be able to do some paid work to ensure we don't have anomalies with the IE browser family, including IE9?

It appears all the other browsers work fine, but since I'm a MacBook Pro user with OSX, Safari and FireFox, I don't see any problems that the IE9 people seem to have.

Hi

Sorry but I am full time medical doctor and work on my websites in my spare time.
I am also relying on vBulletin to solve the IE 6 Display problems so I am no expert
on this field either. I just make sure my site is usable for people using IE 6 but
because this browser is 9 years old I don't really want to support it full.
