Personally I would like to get rid of some of these light colored fonts. A lot of members have a very difficult time reading them
Yes I bet that's true. I was just experimenting. I won't actually be using the green. I agree it's too light.

I increased size if I knew Doll was reading my Amazon posts. She wasn't tech savvy and I knew she had eye issues.
You can still up the size on the individual posts like that if you wish to :)

Personally I didn't like a lot of individual users' font choices. Some of them were very small on my giant monitor, or the colours made it difficult to read.

@Lady Jane how are you accessing the forum? Phone, tablet, computer...? Perhaps we can help.

I definitely prefer it this way. Some people's choice of fonts can be difficult to read and very distracting. I imagine people with dyslexia would also find many of the font choices difficult. Phones and browsers allow you to increase font size or use a zoom, so I don't see why that aspect should be too much of an issue?
I’m with you, several font choices were un-readable on my screen. I believe almost every platform has a font or a zoom increase for reading preferences.

I use a laptop for main computer work and fun. The font size on AA is somewhat easier to see so not problem in daytime. At night I am on a Kindle Fire tablet as is my routine for many years. On the Kindle Fire tablet the printing is too small for me to see. Yes if I use my hands to enlarge the screen I can read and that is what I must do for any thread. Thank you for attempting to help, that is appreiated.

Have you tried to increase the font size on your tablet to something bigger? I don’t have one here to test it on, hubby’s is in moving Layla land and my mothers is at the other house still.
You can try it by going into the settings menu then the Display and Sounds menu, in there you should see a font section where you can adjust the size. Might be worth a shot!

The size is adjusted by touch on kindle fire tablet. I can adjust it better if i am reading a book on kindle. Display setting does have a font size adjustment which i have set on huge already. It only makes the keyboard letters larger, not the words on a page.

Yes i found it on left top of silk browser and then assessability. There is a text scaler which is set to the largest possible. Then in small print Force Enable Zoom which means override a website request to prevent zooming in. This is checked to turn on.
