I'm wondering if we can increase the font size for home help search members calendar profile logout I can barely read them and I have pretty sharp eyes! matt bs
Oh, another addition I just came across. Page 1 of ? is really hard to see and figure out as well.
Hope these aren't too picky. I just think it would be helpfull.

I think its the limitation of proboards. Personally it would have been nice to have a nice invision board but...meh! not a big deal.

I can look into changing the size of the menu font (or font type) to be more readable. In looking at other boards, this is the default menu.
For most pages, font size is generally browser controlled. Most browsers have a feature in options that allow selection of the user's default page font and font size. Most browsers also have a view function that allow the user to increase or decrease the font on any particular page. It is common practice for web designers to leave font control to the user rather than hard-coding font size.
I do not know what you mean by

Bob, he means the page # drop-down in the left hand corners if the thread goes over one page. Many other boards show a brief list of the page numbers so it is a bit more obvious. I don't think there is much that can be done about that.
The menu buttons appear to be GIFs with the text part of the image. Some graphics person could probably make new ones or replace the text with an easier to read font. Otherwise Bob would have to search for replacements somewhere. What size restrictions there are is unknown to me.

As Not a Number pointed out, the menu buttons are pictures so the text size function would not work, you'd have to decrease your screen resolution.

You are correct, the menu buttons are images. These are the defaults stored on ProBoards server. They can be changed, but alternate images must found (or designed) and be hosted on some server. This is one of the myriad of details that could be tweaked, given time and interest. The reason ICPS decided to use ProBoards is because none of us wanted to be bogged down as Forum designers and managers. We wanted an "out-of-the-box" Forum that required a minimum of management and maintenance for the volunteers that tend to have another life other than this Forum.
