    Default Font size!! ??

    Why is the font size so dam small on this forum?
    Truly, it's one reason I rarely come here. I don't see anywhere here were I can change it, and I already use 25% larger font on my computer.
    Let me know if there is something I am missing.
    Thanks

    It is the same font as all the other websites in my computers.

    CTRL + (or Command + on a Mac) will usually increase font size quickly on any browser to be whatever you want it to be. Nothing out of the ordinary with our font settings here--been the same for 14 years with few complaints, if any.

    You might be over resolutioned for your monitor size, too. I had a 27" Apple monitor and I found that I could not keep it set on the highest res setting and still be able to read anything. Compensating for getting older sucks.

    Works good for me, must be a personal problem ! I use a 23" monitor and have everything turned up. Pops

    I would guess that it is likely an issue between the connection from your laptop's video card and the large format TV. That sounds like a wonky combo to me, just asking for resolution issues.

    For the record, I have never seen an uncomfortably small font size on ApexSpeed looking at the site on any computer, browser, operating system, smart phone, tablet or anything else. Check your video settings and go from there.

    Perhaps another input on the TV... ?

    Haaa..... No, all is OK with the laptop to TV hookup, It's an HDMI. As I say it's really only this site that the font comes out so small.
    Thanks guys. No sweat.

    On my laptop I can adjust the font size by putting two fingers on the touchpad and moving them apart or together diagonally. After I do that the computer remembers the size setting for that website.
