For those looking for larger fonts without having to increase the size for all web sites, try changing to the "Default Extra Large Font" template and see if that helps.

At the top of this page, click on "User CP", then click on "Profile" then click on Options. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and in the Option "Which Template would you like to use" choose "Default Extra Large Font". Click "Save Changes" and see if that helps.

Once I get a working Black Template made up, it will be available under that option as well (and there will be an Extra Large Font version of that too)

Thanks for the tutorial Josh! The size is fantastic now! Being computer illiterate, I'd have never figured that out without your step by step help!
Thanks a lot!

What happened to the Mark as read feature? First it didn't work, then yesterday it did, and today it's not working again.

  It would be suggested that the special requests and complaining all be put aside for awhile and let Josh continue to do his job as HE sees fit.  He was most likely up all last night loading the new program, and it's not more the 10 hours old and the whining has begun already.  If you have cataracts and can't see, take your problem to a doctor to resolve, not Mr. Josh.  

Come on fellas, it's called appreciation, so start showing some of your's by being silent with the complaints and demands.

It is Josh's prerogative of how he wants to set the site's options and we need to be flexible enough to take it as we find it.

We are all quests on the ASSRA Forum, but many are acting as if they are vested owners.

Looks fine to me. Never cared for the black, but was more interested in the content of the forum. Seems a little slower to me, but that could be my neolithic device. No worries.

Guess I'll have to disagree with those who think this a great upgrade. I like the format, BUT....... I  have trouble logging on. Had to reboot the computer wnd then the log on worked. Getting a section to open takes about 20 seconds, then it takes 20 seconds or longer to get a message to open. If there are more than 1 page figure another 20 seconds or more to get the new page. I guess I could live with that but at the end of a session I can't get the program to mark all messages as read. All I get is a rectangular box with an "x" in the upper right corner. I waited for better than a minute for something to happen but no dice. Clicking on the "x" works great tho.

I understand new programs take time.to get the bugs, but for me this has been going on since the first time I logged on the new format so thought I'd better put my two cents worth in.

You are doing great with the update Josh. Updates are never seamless but it is coming together well.

Thanks you for your effort.
