Font Size

[Silver]

No way am I making every website font bigger for the sake of RSpeed

The main post text is the same size as almost every other font on the site, which is just poor design. You're eyes can't adjust to what's important and what's not. And between huge headers before posts, and huge signatures, the actual area of readable content is so hidden that it honestly makes me not even read most of the posts. Your main post text should definitely be bigger than things like "mikecentola's Garage". There is just TOO MUCH going on in each post to allow tiny text. Sure, we can all ultimately read it, but it doesn't mean it's good design, or user friendly.

Just being honest here.

I think you and dave are the only ones having issues reading this... just means you're getting old

For the record, I hate huge signatures

Side to side rather than one on top of the other?

vBulletin allows for multiple user-selectable themes. You could offer a theme with a larger font.

yeah that puts a lot of stress on me when I have to do updates though and when I create custom pages...

Even if it is only Dave and I that have a problem with it, the simple fact is that none of your end users should ever have a problem your font size being too small, especially on a site that functions because of text conversations.

If Dave and I are too "old", what's your target audience age for the website? The sheer fact is if I went to a brand new forum that had tiny text like this, I wouldn't sign up. You gotta think about what it's doing to the END USER (including those are not already members).

I like the text. Mike shouldn't be expected to make changes when only TWO people are complaining. It's not that much smaller than "normal" so it shouldn't effect your ability to read that much. If it does than you should probably bump up the text size on your browser anyways.

Do you guys use Firefox? I could easily write a Greasemonkey script to change the font size on just this site.
