What is wrong with the default? It is legible on all devices.

We post on a Daily thread. One of the Daily posters asked “ the regulars” if they liked the new, larger font she was trying out. The majority of the responses said they preferred the larger font. 
 

So now several regular posters on that thread are trying to see if we can set a “personal, default font size”. Otherwise every time we post, we need to remember to re-set the font size.

Howdy all y'all!

 

Any change in text size/font must be done on each post.

I had some eye surgeries last summer and my eyesight is still not doing well. I wanted to add that to help me see Cruise Critic posts better, I use my laptop browser zoom feature to bump the size of all text up to 125% or 150%.

Some browsers can set page zoom size for specific websites. I use Safari and have the page zoom set at 125% for Cruise Critic so no need to change every time or effect other websites.

 

The problem with text size, font and color changes made on Cruise Critic is what looks good on one device can be unreadable on others. There is a script font some have used which is somewhat readable on some computers that is totally unreadable on iPads.

Comic Sans has been the culprit for years on these boards. It is the one that gets reported the most. Members like to use it because it "looks cute". Not so for many more other members trying to read it.

Comic Sans on my iPhone becomes a completely unreadable cursive font.
