I've moved it for you.  You might still be able to change the title; if not, let me know what you would prefer.

Just realized I made a mistake when moving it; so now I've moved it to the For Sale or Trade section.

I made a mistake also, pb = persoonlijk bericht (Dutch) = private message.

Anyways, I think the message got through, thanx!

Quote from: keith_h on May 16, 2026, 07:59:34 AMIs there a way to change the font size and type? I find the new layout hard to read.

Unfortunately, no.  I find it hard to read as well, so I have the club site zoomed in my browser.  Not ideal, but it's readable.



I write my messages in a word editor and copy paste them to post.
I was writing a message and pasted it, but had to write some additional info.

That appeared in a different font size somehow... (so I copied the whole message and pasted it again)

Is this readable for the oldies here?
If so, the A with red arrow in the toolbar let's you set size, the other A is for font type.

(I count myself as oldie BTW, just past the half century mark and little letters are hard to read for me also) :-)

Most browsers have a zoom function. Just saying.

@FC Bass congrats on seeing Abraham!

The new version of the forum software works just fine to increase the text size when you increase the zoom level.

If you post in a larger font, this larger text will also increase in size for someone who has increased their zoom level. So it is better that the viewer set their zoom level.

OT but is this a Dutch habit? My wife had never heard of it, but she got a baker in town to make a custom Abraham cookie. I just love her so much.

@VicDiesel The modern take on that is they put a blow-up Abraham (or Sarah) in front of your house, with a 50 speed limit sign. At least the giant cookie is in good taste.

It is clear if I cover my right eye, but blurry when I cover my left eye!  ;D

FCBass, you are never too old to rock as I found out recently just passing half way through my 60's and just joined a bluesy rock band. Not something I have ever played in a band so I may need to check your videos to hear what kind of tones I should be experimenting with. :-)

It isn't just the size but the thinness of the font and the lack of contrast with the various backgrounds. If the letters were heavier and of the size they are during edit it would resolve the problem for me and I suspect others. Even the smaller size in quoted text is heavier and more readable which would making zooming acceptable if not preferable. Just saying.

You guys must be looking at the Club on computer screens. I'm basically Mr. Magoo, and it looks same as ever on my mobile device. I haven't seen us on a big screen since retirement from the Waterworks.

Really enjoying the new Club Forum now!  It now remembers where I've been so I'm not constantly scrolling to get new content.  Cheers!
