Or you could try Control-Plus. If this sitre was based in Australia a person could and probably would register a complaint with the disability authourities who would mediate. If the site was not deemed to be suitible the case could go to court at the total cost of $50 for the person complaining. Just as buildings must be accessible to all websites must be too. I am aware of several in the USA where there have been changes forced. I would just hope, as George is a reasonable person there can be some understanding that an increasse in font size is acttually benificial to all.......including his pocket as people will not be forced off the site. See...he beat me to it. Edited June 12, 2013 by harrry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The default font is 14 BTW. Plus other variables including screen size, screen resolution. Impossible to satisfy everyone. One member's screen may be fine, another too small and another too big. The font size actually is pretty close to the same as major online news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCM Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 yes ctrl +, That doesn't anything for me. What is it supposed to do ?? ctrl + Zooms In (makes the font Bigger) and ctrl - Zooms out (makes the font smaller) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litlos Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I regularly get the subscript type as a default when posting, you can tell if this is active by a box around the X2 button. This is the button just above where you start writing. Select the text affected and click the button again and all back to normal.

If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel you can just hold the CTRL key down and zoom in/out with the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancealot Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 yes ctrl +, My eyesight is deteriorating and I can measure this. About every year I add one ctrl+ when browsing TV. Sadly this causes some pictures in the photo forum to extend outside my browser window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel you can just hold the CTRL key down and zoom in/out with the wheel. Only partly correct. That Zooms the whole screen and thus requires side to side scrolling. his has not been considered a sufficient accomodation in previous cases.

Have you noticed how many of the phones have a ridge on the 5 key to assist positioning. There are many other disability features included in mobile phones both as a matter of law and because it is good business to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not been working with web accessibility for a few years but I will dig out some of the most recent stuff which I can find and send it to you. The site does not need a lot of changes but a few little things can help a l people a lot and many of those who benifit are in your demographic. As you can see it is something I feel fairly strongly about and have had some involvement with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
