My congratulations and support to all the people who run this Board!

On tool bar at the top of your browser window there should be a row that says "file, edit, view, favorites...etc" Click on view, follow the drop down to "zoom" and increase to 125% (or larger, if you wish). The 125% should just about fit the page to your screen and the font is very easy to see. Have fun!
I am having the opposite problem...at 100% the print is fine but the QB is so large I have to scroll side to side to read the entire posting. If I go to 75% then some words are scrambled up. Anyone know why I am having this problem? Thanks in advance!
Also, not that it matters but my feedback score doesn't show up...just wondering????

Yes, i have to agree. The desingers and brains behind updates have a hard job. Keeping the site secure and updating to more modern things...but dog gone it...I hate new things sometimes. If I had it my way, I'd still be using windows 95. But, I'm sure that eventually I'll get the hang of the new way and learn to love all the hard work that you guys have put into it.
I really like that I can put the mouse over the topic and read the first couple lines to see if I actually want to read the post. That's nice.

I'm sorry that people are wanting to leave the board over the change. I guess I just feel differently. I had to learn to cut , piece, applique, quilt, bind and label. I've had to learn how to use different sewing machines. We all learn how to do different things EVERYDAY. This is no different. It will take some time to get used to it, that's all. Please give these changes a chance.

Change is always hard -- and the folks who make radical changes are very brave. I agree, thanks for all of the work. It was a major job.
That said, there are always problems with new software (having spent many years of my life writing and testing software I am something of a expert). The developers may be able to fix some of the problems we have, but only if we let them know what the issues are. Once things settle down, the moderators might start a thread or a group for us to report issues so there are not so many random messages documenting problems.

But now I see that I am a Senior Member! I'm confused. But I am the queen of the electronically challenged! Love this site!
Oh no! I've edited my post after seeing my avatar, but have to find the new way to repost!

I'm kind of new here, but I would like to add my thanks.
The owners, moderators and developers work very hard to make this a comfortable and safe place for us to come to. I don't think most people know what a thankless job the moderators have and the ones here do a wonderful job.
Change is hard sometimes, but a necessary fact of life. I will learn my way around the new board in short order just as I did when I first got here.
It seems that the only things that are giving me problems has been with the fonts and background
color. I trust that these type of things will be worked out in short order.

If you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, hold the CTRL button and scroll the wheel to make it larger/smaller.
If you don't have a scroll wheel, hold the CTRL button and press the + (plus) key to enlarge, press the - (minus) key to make smaller. Easy/peasy!
