I recently got a new laptop with tiny, tiny pixels. Is there any way to adjust the font size of the bulletin boards? I looked in my preferences but didn't see anything....

(Perhaps even a third skin which has the same look but uses somewhat bigger fonts?)

Thanks,

I'll let the web lads answer about the boards, but you should be able to change your font size in the browser easily enough.

In Mozilla/Firefox you can increase it by hitting
Ctrl Shift +
and decrease it again with
Ctrl Shift -

Albert --

You can do something similar in IE (control-mouse-wheel), but it only affects the spacing of the BB -- not the actual fonts.

Cheers,

Albert's solution is probably the answer, at least in the short term.

CTRL-SHIFT-+/- also works in IE, it works like a magnifying glass - increasing the size of everything in the window. You can also change the zoom level by clicking on the magnifying glass in the bottom right of IE.

I think all popular browsers also have the feature View -> Text Size -> Smallest to Largest, without altering the size of the surrounding web page.
