jose 0 #4 December 19, 2004 I dunno why, but this just strikes me funny. Then again, I do derive a large amount of enjoyment from making my friends phones in a different language and not telling them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob.dino 1 #9 December 19, 2004 AOL's browser is based on Internet Explorer, so there will be an option to change the text size somewhere, quite probably in the View menu. Not having AOL, I'm afraid I can't be more specific. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveb 1 #10 December 19, 2004 QuoteQuotetop of your browser, click 'view', 'text size'. change to Medium and start from there. Adjust as your vision dictates. I have AOL and I can't find a view on it anywhere. It seems to be only on the forum area. That is because the dropzone css files intermix points and pixels, and IE does not resize fonts specified in pixels but does for points. If the browser defaults to 'largest', then you get huge fonts on the forums and "reasonable" on the front page. What version of AOL are you stuck with? I find it difficult to [believe] AOL would eliminate a useability/accessability control from their hack of a browser. The text/font size controls almost *have* to be settable somewhere. Edited to add: I just downloaded AOL 9.0. What a mistake! I'm now in the process of cleaning up that mess. I saw exactly the same problem, tried changing the font sizes in a couple of different ways, then ran out of patience. Dude, switch browsers to something reasonable. Sorry that doesn't help you too much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it wasn't clear, I meant that if you have a mouse with a little wheel inbetween the right and left buttons, in most browsers if you hold down control while rolling it the text size will change.Killing threads since 2004.

flyangel2 2 #12 December 20, 2004 Jason, Micheal is old and you have to spell things out for him Quotein most browsers if you hold down control while rolling it the text size will change. Michael, if you are holding the wheel down, or if you had held it down before, then that will change the size.

bob.dino 1 #13 December 20, 2004 Actually, the simplest solution is probably just to get Firefox and use it instead of AOL's internet browser . Even the NY Times agrees . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightingale 0 #18 December 20, 2004 no idea about AOL. I've seen it caues problems with too many people's computers, so I never used it myself. my solution would be: go to www.mozilla.com and download firefox. If you want to log on to AOL, just use the aol logon, then minimize the browser and open firefox instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
