Title: How to increase font size for reading?
Post by: Bob Wilson on August 28, 2020, 09:59:53 AM
The font size for these articles is smaller than usual website text. I am having to zoom in and out to read them on my phone. I have enlarged the text in my browser, but beemaster text remains tiny. Is there a way to increase font size NOT in writing, but in reading them?

Mr. Bob, good question.  I went into setting on my iPhone and I can change font size for a lot of applications such as news, however, I cannot change the font size on BeeMaster?

Hope you obtain an answer.  I am sure Jim, sawdust, is looking into this.

Iddee asked the same question several years ago.
I sent him a PM to see if he figured it out.

A pair of one dollar reading glasses from dollar tree if all else fails?  😁 You might ask RoBo. Try a PM to him.

Lol, BenFramed.
I have three pairs of glasses, and none of them help me with the phone's small font.
One of my college age sons says...
"It's an issue with the site's format, Dad. After all, it a website for old guys keeping bees."

I love your sons sense of humor! Although he may be right on both counts. Excluding the ladies. lol "It's an issue with the site's format, Dad. After all, it a website for old guys keeping bees." Sounds as if you have a Great Son!   I Love The Humor!!  lol

I found it...
It is not available using duckduckgo's search engine app. Their browser's settings are limited.
But using GOOGLE CHROME, I can tap the vertical ellipsis menu icon in the upper right hand corner/ settings/ accessability/ font size slide bar.
The slide bar lets me increase the font size on most web pages AND formats the paragraphs to fit my cell phone's screen.
While it doesn't work for certain headings and some other info listings, the actual paragraphs of what people write in their postings are MUCH easier to read, which is the most important part.
Whew!!! No more squinting!

There is also a place in my cell phone's settings/ display/ fonts size... that increases everything in my phone, but not every browser works in conjunction with it.

I was working on this problem yesterday trying to enlarge the fonts. Early this morning I turned on my phone and the text on my phone was huge. 😃
I still have not been able to get my phone to automatically keep large text.
I just zoom in and out on mine. And, Phillip, that is with read Glasses on. 😂

This is why God gives us children. For IT purposes.

Even the little children are computer whizzes!

If it's a problem, we could always just add a rule to the bylaws mandating that all font has to be this big.  Or else.  :wink:  :cheesy:
