We need to see what we are writing. Posting fonts might be bigger .

Thanks ,

Same problem here. I post then go back and edit all my misspellings later because I can't see them while typing. I think this is a 17" monitor and I can't change browser settings at work.

you all should be able to adjust font size in your browser... on a PC:
Mozilla:
Control + "+" increases
Control + "-" decreases

in IE (menu bar):
View > Text Size > Largest

I'd be surprised if they locked down this feature.. its designed to help people! but some companies are crazy about *security*

good luck

Weird, I change that text size occasionally but I see no effect here with IE.

That's because the software drawing these pages is probably specifying a fixed-size font. IE does not scale text that's specified this way, but all the other browsers do. A proportionally spec'd font *will* scale in IE however, but most people building web pages aren't aware of the difference (no disrespect intended to you Tom). don't know if you're forum software will allow those adjustments. As posters we could just select something larger than the default when posting.... as i've done here,

but then that's probably too much to think about for those of us with aging brains. ;)

On my monitor the text is larger in "preview". I just click preview to control my text and then continue typing

I use a 19” monitor so I find it OK but, yes it is small.
Because I am a bit dyslexic I type my text in a word document and when I am happy with it I copy and paste to the reply pane.
Doing that could save you some eye stain.
Yes the text is bigger in “preview”.
