Cherry- try pressing Ctrl + on your keyboard- it increases text size on the forum in increments- Ctrl- reverses it. Just checked it for ya, and it does work.
I'm glad it's quicker, and that you are sorting out the technical problems - but the pale blue and lack of borders on the forum make it very hard for me to read.
In fact, the colours are actually making me nauseus (sp) and the text is too small and I am squinting to read it.
I dont suppose you can add a "use alternative skin" option? sad
Please please can you at least increase the text size?
ok i'm changing my mind after using it i have to say its horible it's giving me a headache eyeache neckache and confusion mad :x :x :x :x sorry guys but its toooooooooo bright

works for me here on IE7 too calista
Just a thought, but does anyone remember how we all said we hated the light blue and pink after the last update?
I am finding it a bit odd, but it is only because it is new and I now have to 'look' where the various buttons and links are, rather than my mouse moving instinctively towards where I want it to go. Im sure in a few weeks time we wont even remember what the 'old' set up was like, cause I know I cant remember in detail what it was like before the last updates?

I'm not keen. The blue makes it look like a 1970's council building, the font is too small and there seems to be a lot of wasted space.
Each to their own.

kwym about council buildings ! I used to be a civil servant! still at least its not magnolia aggggh! I still have flashbacks about that colour!
I think since my last post the text font/size has been changed yes? or maybe its just grown on me?
dont know if its just me! But the text is overlapping the avatars on my screen!!! Getting overlaps everywhere lol

This would be a great solution - is it possible?

For IE,
ctrl and scroll up with your mouse for larger and scroll down for smaller.
Bet you never knew your scrolly mouse would be of such use, xx

It is but a bugger to do.
Thats if this site is anything like the php portal/cms sites i mess about with in my spare time

Im sorry to harp, but is there any way to make the text bigger (or even better, bigger AND darker) on my screen?

I use Firefox and there is a bit to change the text size ... under view, text size ... I'm sure IE has a similar option.

it is truly the canines testes! biggrin
don't go mad on the extensions. still bug fixing the latest version, but even so, you remember Celeb BB, how everyone picked on Shilpa? Firefox 2 and Opera 9 are the Jade and Jo of teh t'interwebs. just generally rip the piss and point and laff at poor ole IE 7! ;)

IE7 = Internet Explorer7, a web browser, as is Firefox.

ie = internet explorer and the latest version is #7.
Firefox is a rival but indeed does make ie look piss poor.
That and the fact i like messing with new skins, add ons etc redface
Firefox is definitely worth considering.

merits of firefox maybe best taken to PM, so as not to hijack the thread, but yep, piece of the proverbial warm yellow stuff to install and remove, will happily co-exist with IE, and Opera. Opera is easiest to set up right out of the box. Firefox is a lot more powerful, and infinitely customisable once you're used to it.
i will never touch an MS browser again. ;)

Thanks Neil,
Might give it atry once im sober!
Thanks FB & Cally biggrin
Varca,
I have the same problem although im not running firefox.
Im running a slightly older version of internet Explorer called
kronenberg 1664
Sorry i cant be of any help xx

That's quite alright *Se7endriver *(that's not easy to type lol)
My Firefox is running on Lindemans Cawarra V2006!! Maybe the slightly corked attributes are contributing to the *d*ef(f)ects of this upgrade :eeek:
Is there an SH Business Requirements Document anywhere that I can pick holes in? :giggle:

have you tried reinstalling Lindemans Cawarra v2004? probably ain't got round to patching the 2006 version yet? dunno confused course, you could always switch to Jules & Gallo White Zinfandel 2005? maybe Lindeman's doing something a bit non-standard? :?
for the record, FF seems to work fine with Morrisons VSOP Brandy running alongside Carlsberg Export, so a bit at a loss i'm afraid?
prolly your pooters knackered?
HTH?

I'm finding it a bit blinding on the eyes too. So much so that I logged out and resorted to watching TV... and I never ever watch TV!!! Not sure now if my headache is from trying to look at the site through one eye earlier or from the appauling so called "musical talent" on American Idol :shock:

I sat and watched American Idol as well Varca :lol2: I sat and blubbed when that guy who was too old came on :cry: Then I sat and watched Billy Elliott.... :lol2:
After 20 minutes or so I can feel the start of a headache again sad
