    Titles? Snippets? Body text? Could you be a bit more specific?
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Body text, basically. Seems to be about a 10-11 point. 12 is better. Maybe Verdana as the overall font?

    Not had anyone else mention it, but the floor is open.

    But, we'll be making some tweaks soonish, and the site site should cope quite well with a bit of "ctrl+scrollwheel" font resize action.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Re: Headlines - HEXUS.channel leaves beta phase

    Just spotted this when viewing that page, I've highlighted the problem areas:



    Using IE7 on Vista SP1.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    If we were going to do this - we would without doubt do it for HEXUS first and then migrate out.

    I am not sure how much clearer we can be than (comments (X) on the front page....

    .... if we can find a better way without doubt we would look at doing it but until then I think the system which is in place works well.

    Body text, basically. Seems to be about a 10-11 point. 12 is better. Maybe Verdana as the overall font?
    Interesting - we have never heard this before - what monitor/resolution you running at?

    You do know you can change your default font in your browser to whatever size you want to increase the accessibility on all sites.
