A Box of Rocks?

[BigBird]

After being part of the BY for a few years, I today found something that I should have discovered sooner for those of us with less than 20/20 vision. Just scroll to the very bottom of the page and touch on the text at the extreme lower left. This opens up an option for enlarged text. Wonderful. Why it took me so long to trip over this is beyond me. Or, for that matter, how did I avoid learning this when others likely posted about it. In any case, I love the larger font.

Thanks, BigBird, that worked great for me and now it is so much easier to read!

On my I pad it is mobile style on bottom left that opens to select larger font. Thx works for me

 

[eebmg]

Yes. Thanks. I missed it the first time when trying to follow your instructions so I thought this visual may help others.

Wow what a difference this makes, now I can sit back comfortably and read the BY. Thanks BigBird I owe you one!

You are a bigger bird in large font!

OMG! I'm 75 going on 100 and been getting injections in my eyes the last few months. This really, really, really helps. Thanks.

Good find!

Also, in pretty much every type of web browser, pressing and holding the 'Ctrl' key and pressing the '+' (plus) key will magnify the entire web page. There are up to 9 levels of magnification, depending on the browser. Pressing and holding the 'Ctrl' key and pressing the '-' (minus) key will do the reverse, allowing you to get more of a web page on you display screen. (Good for images)

Pressing and holding the 'Ctrl' key and pressing the '0' (zero) key will return the magnification to the default.

The magnification setting will remain if you navigate to a new page, but will not affect other tabs in the same browser.

Note that if your device does not have a separate 'plus' key, you can use the key with '=' (equal) and '+' (plus) on it. You do not need to use the shift key to acces the plus in this case.

Have fun!

P.S. Just did a little testing and it appears the "Larger text" button does things in a different way. Ctrl+0 does not bring the text back to the default size if you have used it. You must use Ctrl+plus or Ctrl+minus in that case.

It's not working for me.

I'm sorry, what?

I'm sorry, what?

The instructions I gave are for a physical keyboard -- most mobile devices don't have a 'Ctrl' key.

If that's not your problem, just play around with pressing and holding the 'Ctrl' key at the bottom left of your keyboard while you hit the '+' (plus) and '-' (minus) keys at the right end of the number row. To reset to the default magnification, press and hold 'Ctrl' and hit the '0' zero key.

I get those injections. Vision getting better but I will be so happy when I no longer have to get that damn shot!

No. That's not my problem. My problem is more of a generational thing. I didn't grow up with computers and some aspects are still a little vague@

 

[Rixxx]

That's OK P. I didn't get exposure to PCs until my forties and now I know enough to be dangerous. It was how you adapted to the mainframes, PCs, notebooks, tablets, and phones.
