Font size — how do you increase the size?

For viewing ...

If you happen to be using an Apple computer, you can increase size of the whole window by holding down the "Command" key (left of the space bar) and hitting the "+" key repeatedly until the text has enlarged to the desired size.

I only view the site on desktop or laptop computers. If my fading eyesight needs a boost I just hit the zoom button. Heck I have Firefox set at 133% as I type this.

I don't think many people even look at the font size settings when they post. I seldom do. I only have changed it a handful of times over how many thousands of posts.

I'm more likely to go bold or italic or underscore or coloured for emphasis.

Font size coding only works if your app/browser will read and display the command to made something, uh, well, big

I do not know how to fix this. All I can say is it all works fine for me with what I use, Firefox.

It's not so good on mobiles though. This is on Chrome on my Android phone, with text scaling set to 200% in the browser settings.

Some text scales, some doesn't.

I have to pinch zoom to see any post text.

If you're on a desk computer, press Ctrl and roll up the mouse wheel.
