This is just a friendly reminder that many if not most of the members here find the small print to be very hard to read. 
 
We have a few members in this group that are legally blind and though they are not 100% blind, they are still qualified as blind. 
 
It makes it so much easier for them if you could please make your font size at the very least a 5.  If you are using firefox, however you will not be able to change your font size, and should probably for the sake of posting in the group use IE or another browser that supports font changes. 
 
"How to change the size of the font?" you ask. 
You look for the little yellowish rectangle that has a tiny pair of scissor, ignore the scissors... find "Font Size"  Click that link and it will bring you up a little box that will show font sizes 1 - 7. 
 
5 is a good one and is not to hard on anyone's eyes. 
 
And as a friendly reminder...
 
*Typing in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS is interpreted by all as YELLING.  Doing so could cause insult or other to a member.  If you are trying to stress something, italicize it!! Or if you are writing with your font italicized...Un-italicize it or Underline it.
 
We appreciate it when fonts are easier on the eyes.  Thank you.

I understand that problem fully. Sometimes my glasses don't magnify enough.

Ok, I'll comply.  Actually I remember long ago a member advising that we use larger font due to the eyesight of those who have problems reading small print.

LOL MissKitty it is usually one of the first things we mention to newcomers when we are welcoming them...having this post just keeps front and center so to speak... thanks for helping everyone out...
Even without vision problems the eyes can just get tired after reading alot of messages and the size 5 really helps with that problem.
Keep smiling,
Cuddles

Hello. I'm a new member here. I understand what you're saying. My nana is 72 and she has Type 2 Diabetes. She, however, can eat sugary foods. But only very few at a time. My dad (who doesn't use MSN, in fact, I'm the only one in my house who uses MSN), who is only 48, can't read things close up without his glasses. I am not infected or anything, I am just saying that there are some diseased people in my family.
