    Wow;

    Do they really make font sizes this small? I can hardly read any forum threads on the forum page. The font is about a 2 or something similar. What happened tot he normal font size? I need to get a pair of reading glasses just to see what teh headings are. Please put a normal font size back on.

    Thanks,

    They must be trying to scare away the older members Dan! They only want the new guys that still haven't upgraded to Life member status or something!

    What are you using for an Internet browser? SOME browsers (IE is a good example) have options for text size

    It also make a difference which version of a browser you have (IE8 for me)...and whether or not there are compatibility issues   seems like these days....there is always that happening on SOME website

    I use FireFox, and have for years. There was never anything wrong with the text size until recently. Even now, the text on this page is correct, as it usually is. It is even the correct size on the forum's home page. That is until you get to the headers for the different areas. IE: The part on the top of the page has normal size text, but when you get to the 'Life members, or whatever, then the font size is only about 1/3 the size. So it is not my browser. It is something that was done during one of the last upgrades.

    Yes. The main forum page. Everything above the dropdown line is normal, but everything beneath it is super small. When I go to the page the thread is on, the fonts are OK. Just on the main page. It is really getting annoying all this BS about them fixing one thing, and then something else breaks down. They need to just spend the money and get it done right.

    This font size only started this week, after they did another 'improvement'.

    The default font is a little small for my taste as well.   Changing this setting however isn't under my teams purview.  

    In the mean time, in Firefox and Internet Explorer, you can quickly increase the size of everything by using CTRL + and CTRL -.

    (hold down your CTRL key, and press the + key on your number pad)

    Works slick.   I use it all the time.

    Joel;

    That is all fine and dandy, but this website is the ONLY one that the fonts are way too small. They are even a grey color, which adds to the dilemma. To me, it is really getting to be more of a PITA than what it's worth to go to the forums or the chat room.

    The club can't, or won't, do anything about the delinquents using the chat room, it take forever to even acknowledge there has been a problem with the forums. We had to go to facebook to get any action, and now the change in the fonts. Yes, you did take care of all the 500 error messages, and we appreciate that, but if we can't read the pages of the forum without either enlarging the fonts, or using a particular browser, then why waste the time to go there?

    Why can't you guys just git-r-done the right way, and be done with it? There are hundreds if not thousands of websites, just as busy as yours, that don't have all the hassle associated with NAFC's website.

    I am just getting a bit put out by all the BS that is required to visit this site.

    Sorry, but that is just the way I feel about it.

    Hello Joel, Greg, Wes, and any others working on this forum;

    I have not been here for a month or so because of the new improved small, grey subject line font size.
    I usually only hit reply to the 'Good morning life members' announcements to add my data.

    You can imagine how surprised I was when I came here just a few minutes ago and saw the next generation
    of nice bright and bold fonts! Thank you for getting the font sizes fixed. I really appreciate that!

    Tight lines,
