Rodger Pettichord Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Quick question for our moderators. What happened to the font-sizing option on the task bar? With my bad eyesight, it was handy to use bigger type so I could more clearly see what I was typing. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hello Rodger I have enlarged this reply to size 20 However, most if not all browsers have a "zoom" feature which I am sure that you would find helpful. Normally, Ctrl and + to zoom in and Ctrl and - to zoom back out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hi Nick, I seem to be missing some edit pane icons/buttons as well, these 5 -: though I can understand the need for uniformity in the use of Forum Fonts so, I understand why we have no "Font type" selection button Superscript Subscript Font "Size" dropdown Font "Highlight colour" Font "Colour". I have been missing these for some time now and have not asked again where they went . It would be great to have them back if possible please. IE11, Edge, Chrome, FireFox, Safari, all browsers on different PC's have same missing buttons in the browser pane, but not on other sites using IPS4 Suite where I have a full compliment of useful icons/buttons. Zooming the browser window is a great idea, I use 150% - 160% zoom, my keyboard has a zoom toggle for the active window, as well as the available browser zoom.

Nick Cooper Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hello Jeff, it looks like the size and superscript icons were hidden. I would rather not re-enable the font icon, there is a handful of contributors who have nothing better to do than post in a variety of fonts, to quote "just because they can". No one will be inconvenienced by having only one font. If there is a reversion by that tiny minority to posting in giant or microscopic text, I will be obliged to disable the font sizing again as well.

Jethro VH-JET Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Much appreciated Nick, I have the important ones back again, thankyou. I agree font sizing is always open to abuse, but thankfully only a few have used super large font. I'm ok with one size font (default) if you need to lock that button down again. Having one only font size available streamlines all forum content, with less format overhead. EDIT: Oops : look at my signature Specs font, (Guilty as charged) in an attempt to reduce Sig on page and keep to just 2 lines of text, I didn't use the forum edit buttons for this micro font but imported from MS Word the entire Sig text and Format.

VH-KDK Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Well I am one of those who had used the giant font occasionally for a joke. Humble apologies as I didn't realise it was an issue. If a polite message pointing out my error had been made to me I would have ceased immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
