Is this what you're referring to? I don't see any difference.

Thanks Bob, that font size is fine but what I was seeing was quite a bit smaller than that but it must have been something I did at my end because everything seems back to normal and as it shows in your post now.

Strange, I don't remember changing or doing anything that would have changed the quoted text size so I will just keep an eye on any change and see if it crops up again.

I have seen that as well Patrick, much smaller than the uote in Bob's reply which is just a bit smaller than normal text.

I think the really small quoted text shows up when someone posts a link, the description of the link is then really tiny.

Since several members are seniors, it might be nice to tweak the text sizes globally to be a bit bigger. Perhaps I should explore settings to do that locally.

That's a great idea toMACsh, and one I would certainly endorse.

I don't see that there is any way to do it locally on our match. But I use an extension on my Google Chrome that allows me to enlarge or shrink all a web page's text size, not separate parts.

Thanks for your comment krs. I'll try and take note if that's a situation that my end.

If needed, I just use Command and the + key.
Command plus - makes the text smaller and Command plus "0" brings it back to the standard size

Please post an example. Quoted post font size looks normal in this thread.

Thanks,

Nick

I would also suggest if some forum members have high resolution large screen real estate displays...displays like this will make text size appear smaller compared to viewing on a smaller display. If this is the case...browser font size can be adjusted via browser preferences (Safari, Chrome, etc.).
