I blame the postal system.       {-)

We get this a lot these days here on the forum.

If you notice smaller  (or larger) type than you wanted then you have 30 mins to alter your message font size instructions.   After that, it is set in stone.  We can, and do alter the sizes at a later time if they look too bad.   ( I look upon it a hobby !)

If you go back and edit your text, then sometimes text reduces to near invisible. I have noticed this happening if I put in a hard return (Enter) if I have gone back to a line.
If this happens, open the post, by clicking on [modify]. Then highlight the text and change font size. As Ken said, you have 30 mins to do this. After that, just contact one of us mods to change it for you. The best way is to click on the [report to moderator] button, that way we all see it.


If it is a general problem, then you can adjust your browser by holding down the [Cntrl] key while scrolling your mouse wheel. Scroll one way enlarges the text, the other way makes is smaller.


I hope one of these fixes your issue.

Have you noticed that you can set the font size on the form from which you post. It probably remembers what you use last time you posted. It might have got changed so reset it to what you want & see what happens.

It might be easiest to adjust your browser's zoom then. It only takes a few seconds.

Strange, my fonts always post in what appears to be the default font size, the same size as others who post replies, and virtually all the posts on this thread.

I usually compose my text in MS Word, spell check then add photo links.  Not had a font problem to date.
