A few people have indicated to me over the years that they have trouble reading the text on the forum. Some of them have to increase the text size in their browser to get past this.

There's lots of reasons why people might need to do this. Poor eyesight, or perhaps their monitor is a bit old. Maybe they have a large monitor and they're running a big screen resolution which makes the text look tiny? I sometimes even have to increase my browser's text size on certain websites to avoid eye strain.

So with the help of Elwood72, I've put together a custom theme for anyone who wants a larger font on the forum!

It's identical to the current forum theme except the text size is slightly bigger (we may change it again later, but we'll see how we go for now).

There's 2 ways to access the custom theme. To change it temporarily, simply scroll down to the bottom of the forum and look for the white dropdown/select box. At the moment it's set to "Soul Food Cafe". Change it to "Soul Food Cafe (Large Font)" and it should update immediately! You can even change it right now on the page you're looking at.

To make the change permanent, I recommend going to your User Control Panel, and then clicking "Edit Options". Scroll down to the bottom of the page and change your "Forum Skin" to "Soul Food Cafe (Large Font)". That way even if you login on a different computer it will use the large font size (unless you logout).

Please let me know if you have any difficulty or requests, it's fairly straight forward to make changes to the theme and I want to make sure everyone finds the forum easy to use :)

Great! :-D

But I can read the small text perfect so I don't think I need to use the big text...
