Very cool! I'm so glad. Now here are the instructions EH read in case someone else needs them and can't find the other post.

Ladies...if you will hold down the "ctrl" key located on the left-hand side of your keyboard just under the "shift" key, and then hit the "knob" that is on your mouse, you can shift the size from small to large. Or vice versa. Most of you should have a knob thingy that is located between the left and right flat places on your mouse that you click. See it? It is in the middle. Move it away from you, the type gets smaller, move it toward you, LARGER!

Another option, if there's too much white all the time, is to highlight long post, giving making the text white on a blue background, however small the background is per post.

Aging eyes here.
Blue on white does not do it for me.

Making the type bigger does not change the details on the left which are slimmer.

I may use my husbands software to change the whole thing.
He having visual impairment uses all sorts of clever things.Even being read to by the computer.wont use that of course.

I am happy to see you all again.

Hi everybody,
Just answering jj's Mousekateers call. This mouse has checked in.
I'm learning as I go. That's usually the way it is for me: On the
job training, you know.

Chatty,
I tried to edit a post and the time element was up too quickly; could not get back in, to correct the text. This dude waits for no man, or woman either!

Who said familiarity breeds contempt? That's a crock of crackers!

Okay, don't mind me, but what was the background color before? I think I can get it changed.

Dotsie, I don't remember what the default color scheme was, but I do remember that we were able to go into our preferences and change it individually - we had a choice of several different color schemes. Mine was a green and yellow combination, the easiest on my eyes of the choices available.

That sort of thing should be fairly easy to add. I think the color schemes come in pre-programmed modules and the techies can just add the ones they want to a drop-down list in the preferences section.

BTW, I've been online here most of the morning (hopping away every now and then to do housework), and am noticing changes happening on the fly. It's looking really good, Dotsie!
