I am curious to know if I am the only one who has trouble reading this small text.

okay if you are having trouble reading the posts go to the bottom right hand corner of your screen, you will see a magnifying glass with a cross in the centre, next to that you will see the figure 100%

click on that, replace the figure 100% with say 150%, see how you go, when you are finished doodling around in here then replace the numbers back to 100% and all will be well for everyday surfing!

Yeah the small text size needs special glasses, sometimes I formatt my text so that it is more easily read...

well Basil we have been reliably informed by our resident expert on all things fowl, that it is indeed a goose and not, as I mistakenly believed to be, one of Duckys offspring!

Hey Dave ~ either it's that small that I need the magnifying glass to find the magnifying glass, or I don't have one.
This appears to be the other option that I have been using to post, only trouble with this is that I am the only one using text size 2.

No comment on the "duck" and the goose. He already told me what he was having for christmas dinner....no

A bit late, Derek has just shown me another trick to do the same thing...hold down the control key and press either + or - keys on Right hand side of keyboard.

I'm still a learner, hope to go on learning all my life!
