Apologies if there's already an option somewhere and I just can't find it, but am I the only one that finds the default font-size of the forums a touch too small?

I wouldn't want to change it for the whole site without good reason, but it would be nice if I could increase it a couple of points in my settings somewhere. Currently I'm using my browser's font size adjustments, but these come in pretty big steps so it feels like text is a little too small, or that I'm reading the site in large print

The small size is especially noticeable when posting, i.e- in the text area it's pretty hard to distinguish certain characters, especially when adding BBCode.


Also, an aside, but how does the list BBCode on this site work? The site looks like some variation of phpBB, where lists have an opening and close list tag, plus [*] to indicate each list item, but that doesn't seem to work here, and I can't find anything that states how else to do it.

Hold CTRL and press + to increase font size using Chrome. I keep mine set to about 150% for DakkaDakka.

Lego has stated somewhere that this is a very custom implementation. I can't help you much, I'm afraid; I fall back on HTML when I need things like lists & font colors.

I'm using Safari and doing basically the same, but it doesn't seem to retain sizes for specific sites (it seems to be per tab), so I'd really like to be able to set it as an option on the site itself.
I don't have trouble with most sites after all, it's just this one where the default font-size seems to be a touch too small.

Ah, I didn't realise HTML was an option, I'll try that instead then, thanks!
