Oh, good grief! For Pete's sake........

Mare, do as Erin suggested to Jan on the board preferences.

Hi Jan -

I'm going to have a two part answer for you. :)

Regarding the font size on the new layout. The size is the same across the site. (Anywhere you see text, that's the standard size.) We'll definitely look into it if you're having an issue aside from the standard font size, but it should match the text size that is in the right/side column, for example.

There is a way to make it bigger across the entire site though. :) Go into your preferences (edit my preferences):

Then navigate to the display section and scroll down to text size:

Change the font size to large or x-large. Here's an example of what happens when you change it to large:

And here's how it will show on the main board page:

If you go x-large, it will be even bigger. It will also make the font size in your posts larger. All the fonts are connected via that display font/text area. :)

Now, the second issue - the font size not changing. Unfortunately, that is an issue with IE7 so we recommend using IE8 or a non-internet explorer based browser (such as Firefox). Your best bet would be to upgrade to the current stable version of Internet Explorer (IE8), which can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/worldwide-sites.aspx - but I do want to note (because it pops up on their site) you do not want to download IE9, as that is not a stable version nor is it currently a supported browser. People who are willing to do troubleshooting and report back to Microsoft are the ones who should/could try IE9. Stick with IE8 and you'll be good. :)

Please let me know if you have any questions!
