Hi, I found this site & forum by accident while surfing around a bit and it looks interesting, but for me it's nearly un-readable Shocked with the black background and the tiny grey letters on it Sad

I thought I'd register and see if I can change the skin, but haven't found a way yet... but maybe that's becuase I hardly can read anything here.... Laughing Confused

Is it possible to change the skin of the board/site somewhere in my personal settings?

Thanx! Cool

ps. update... I have found the two choices for skins, the default one and the subsilver one, but I can't really see any difference.... maybe I'm doing something wrong...?

cheers

Welcome to the boards! I'm making this post bold and red so hopefully you can read it!

We just went through a large upgrade and only have one skin right now. I will be adding an additional skin in the next few months.

As a temporary fix, if you're using Internet Explorer you can adjust the font size by going to "view" and then "text size". I'm sure netscape and others have a similar setting.

Just for my information, can you tell me what size monitor you are using and what your resolution is set to. This could also be making your text small, and may help me in designing the next skin.

Thanks!
Ron

Mmmm... yes, I found that ... but changing the settings doesn't change the font size for me.... Sad ... strange.... but maybe that's due to my ancient Win95 Confused ... I'm using IE5.5 btw....

eehhmm... let's see.... I'm using a 10 years old 15" monitor, resolution set at 1024 x 768.... 16 bits colors, font size 125% (120 dpi).... Cool Laughing ... does that help?

Okay, thanx for the information anyway... I'll be checking regularly for the new skin to be available Wink

Cheers minusme!
