Changing the default font or font size in my discussion foru

Forum URL: (private)

As the admin person for our discussion group, is there any way for me to change the default font and font size which people use when they type their messages? I am viewing this on my tablet, and the default font for the messages is really tiny for me. I'd like to change if if I can, because I don't want people to have to change the font size each time.

(... and it's odd, for this post, while I was typing, it seemed like the font suddenly switched to a larger size without me doing anything - but that was only for when I was creating my post - it didn't change it when I looked at the actual post?)

Best, D.

Hi,

Instead of forcing a larger text on the forum have you tried using the zoom feature in your browser/tablet? This can make text bigger for easier reading.

That is an option I'll explore, but I still want to know if what I'm thinking about will work.

Thanks ....

freedda, is it just the text when you create a post, once it's created, or the whole forum that you want to see larger?

Hey Scott. I'd like to see if I can change the default font size for the entire forum, not just for individual postings. 

thanks.

freedda, you can do that by going to Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS, Visual Editor, then on that page go to Forum > Text Styles > Default Forum Text, Text Size.

I would recommend start with small adjustments until you find the size you are comfortable with.

Thanks so much. I will proceed with caution.

Hi,I wondering if it is possible for individual users to increase the font size? I have a few members that would like to have bigger font.
Thank you.
