Thanks to the team behind the new forum, a quick question which is not strictly related to the new forum, are we able to change users names??

[Adrian]

Changing user names is not allowed as far as I know.

That is correct.

I would prefer if details were given. Respectfully, comments like this do not help us to make improvements.

If you want to create a poll to register a simple like dislike, or similar words it would be appropriate to gauge overall satisfaction. But again details would be appreciated.

I did try the new BBS when it was in the test phase, and reported that for my monitor/graphics/eyesight, the text was too small. My usual solution is to use a Firefox add-on called No-Squint, but this resulted in random horizontal lines. I included a screen grab for illustration. (I've used No-Squint for several years, and have never seen this on any other web-site.)

The only apparent solution offered was to use a different browser, which is not what I want to do.

I'm struggling on with my nose pressed to the screen, but in spite of trying to be open-minded, it seems much more difficult to navigate around.

Not that i think it's going to be a likely option, but if it came to a vote I would go back to the old BBS in an instant.

Have you tried changing the native font size in your browser?

[chrispop99]

Have you tried changing the native font size in your browser?

Wouldn't that affect all the other sites I visit?

Yes. But if it is a readable font size for you, would that not be OK on other sites.? I cannot answer that, a trial will tell you if it is usable with whatever you choose.

The answer is simple, press and hold Ctrl then use the scroll on your mouse to increase or decrease the page size. so you can have it as large as you want or as small as you want, within reason.

Just learned something! Thanks.

That does the same thing as ctrl+/-, which is to introduce the horizontal line, hence the suggestion to change the font size.
