What am I missing here? When I run my screen resolution at 1280 x 1084 or in that neighborhood, the font size is about the right size, when I kick it way up, the font size on scream and fly is so small as to be almost unreadable. Other web-sites are fine. I adjusted my DPI to almost 200% and it has no effect on this site only. Another interesting thing is the " text size" adjustment in Explorer has very little effect -if any- on this site only. Other sites react normally. Its bugging me. Any thoughts? Thanks, Pat

Hi Pat -
Are you on a PC or Mac? I've seen a similar problem on Macs before...

Depending on how the HTML page is encoded it can over-ride your browser setting. It seems that is what S&F is doing. I cannot change the text size with IE either.

I use a resolution of 1280X1024 on a 19" screen, if I go any higher I can't see the text either, but maybe that is because eyes don't get better as you get older :)

I just fooled around w/ the IE font settings. I can change font size on the main site, but not on the forum. Maybe the forum software locks in a font size?

Maureen, yup, I can change the main page also. I noticed some elements of other pages changed also, but not the main text. Weird. Markhp......... my eyes are getting older too, and when I put my resolution up to 2048x1536 it looks like my eyes are 120 years old. I have to put my nose on the screen to read it. Oh well, so it goes :)
