all things considered, i don't think this is the time to start asking for new bells and whistles. :lol:

soooooo i'm tickled pink that so many members have told us about such a variety of simple tricks we can use to see the avatars in a more convenient size. :thumbup:

Also, on my computer (running Microsoft 2007 & using Windows Internet Explorer) on the bottom right hand corner of my screen there is a # % with a down arrow. My default is 100%, but you can change that to a higher % and get larger type and pictures and then can change it back to your default when done.[/quote]

This is what I have also and you can use this feature to zoom up to 400%. If you don't have this feature I believe Sadiemae mentioned that all you have to do is use "Control +" to enlarge your screen and "Control -" to go back to the normal default. EASY PEEZY! :-D

I've known this, but always forget about it. Thanks for the reminder!
