In prosilver you can hit this button to increase the font size.

If you're not using prosilver, but are using firefox, hit the control button and the "+" button at the same time to increase the font size.

In internet explorer, select view menu and then choose a better text size:

Does that help.

Jocephus, yes I'm referring to prosilver. It's a little jarring at first but it's a much better design. That said, you are free to use either of them. :D
wow....prosilver is a trip

but,i kinda miss the gateway redbirds logo

other then that..it's cool

i really didn't want to see a interface that looks like NSBB

rather see us have our own identity

Technically prosilver is still in "GRB beta". The colors need to be tweaked and as you mentioned a logo needs to be added.

Thanks for the help Pagodi...You're handy. :-) I'm using Firefox and I just switched the prosilver (it's cool but I kind of like the original one better.) If I do "control +", it does increase the font size (on the original theme), but it also makes every other page bigger than what I like and I have to redo the size every time I enter GRB. Get what I mean?

I am on a Mac, but that shouldn't make a different because it's just Firefox. Basically, my font is small on this page alone and I guess I need a permanent fix without changing everything else.

Thanks Pagodi!

For those of you that haven't tried it, prosilver is very cool. Don't be shocked by the initial appearance. Take a look around and you might find that it's very user friendly. The format is intuitive and makes a lot of sense.




Command prompts on the right side of the page...duh? That's where they should be.

Only on this page? I use a Mac and I didn't see an issue.

I like it. Very work-friendly--I can now hide all pictures so when people walk by they don't see some strange shirtless man with a mullet on my computer screen.

Now I'll have to see what this whole proSilver thing is all about.

Yeah, I'm considering turning off sigs. Everyone should check out "Edit display options" in the "User Control Panel".

I'm glad you like it.

Yeah, I turned off sigs and images within posts. I kept avatars because they aren't overly big, and they act as a quick-glance-who-posted-this-garbage tool. Images within posts just turn to this [img], where you can click on it and still see the picture if you want. Me like.

Only one thing I noticed--any link I click opens in the same window rather than a new window. Is that a board setting, or can I change that? At quick glance, I didn't see that option.

--P--
