Changing Font Size

[WolfGoddess77]

I noticed that there was a recent update in the layout of the pages, and I was wondering if it was still possible to change the size of the font on the page when you're reading stories, rather than posting them. There used to be an option for it up at the top, but I can't find it anymore.

Sadly, that function seems to have disappeared. It's still around in the Latest Stories pages, but increasing the font there doesn't carry over into the stories themselves. My old eyes miss it, too.

You can easily adjust the font size using your browser to zoom in. I was doing that already, because even with the textsizer, it wasn't quite big enough for me.

Checked with manta, and the reason the textsizer is gone, is because it interferes with screenreaders like JAWS. As one of the things we were and are aiming for was to make the site play nice with screen readers,

I totally get not wanting to mess with readers, and maintain ease of access across platforms. The browser zoom it is, then, when I find myself squinting at the mysteriously shrinking front pages and review windows.

The textsizer java actually interferes with screen readers because of the java embedded within the screen readers themselves. There's a conflict between the java commands. Makes me wonder if that's why browsers instituted zoom...

It's quite possible. Me, I just have small moments of panic when I open a page here, and the font is so much smaller than it was the day before. Originals shrank on me! It's the only one currently displaying smaller for me on the Latest Stories page, since Movies returned to normal.
