Mike Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Other message boards have the ability to resize fonts, is this possible with this Ubb board? It would be nice to have at least small, large, and larger (i.e. 1, 4, 7 seven point fonts) we don't need really big ones, must a couple would be nice. Wudda ya thinks?

DiggsUK Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Not to my wife, thankfully...... Mike, good idea for those of a technical bent. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 It does matter. When you're sailing in an 80ft yacht, you control the motion of the oceans! I'm fine with the size of my font, but a bigger font would be nice to have every so often to whip out on unsuspecting members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 You should be able to change the font size in your browser settings, that's how I do it. The exact menu option varies from browser to browser, but for an example: on Internet Explorer on my Mac I go to the 'View' menu and then there's a 'Text Zoom' option that allows me to increase or decrease the font size to my liking.

Mike Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I meant like This kind of size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Ohhhh, gotcha. That was very dense of me! Well, the boards don't have that command but you you can use html to increase the size and it's similar to the UBB code. Here's how: < font size="+1">This text will be larger.< /font> You can put any number 1, 2, 3... and it will increase incrementally. I put leading spaces afer the '<' so the code will display here, so remove the spaces to make it work: <font size="+1">This text will be larger.</font> Edited: Oh no, it didn't work - it didn't read the html. I know the syntax is correct, but I've had this problem before. Sometimes I try to use html and the boards just don't read it, other times it works fine. Sorry, I've never figured out why. It's worth a try, it may work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Oh you have to change the make post box to using HTML and UBBcode or using HTML I'll bet No that's not it? Hmmmm how'd she do that?, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Test ... This text will be larger. ... Test I've been experimenting with size lately, but I've only made it work using bold or italicized text. That works like this: Test ... < B style="font-size:120%">This text will be larger.< /B> ... Test. Take out the spaces after the < as in Sara's example. Use capital B for bold, capital I for italics (I don't think it works with lower case). Maybe somebody can show us how to apply this to standard text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
