I wear glasses and I still need to set a zoom on this site to comfortably read text. This should really be increased by a few points at least.

I wear glasses as well and on the same resolution and I don't have issues but what do other people think?

Same here so a feature like this could be useful.

Just an update on this, The only way to properly increase the text size would be to do it for the whole board via hard coding, While there are extensions that can do this too, they arent very good after looking at them. Unfortunately hard coding an increased text size may break parts of the forums, Google chrome has the ability to zoom in a page and its local to that page

So that means you won't do it?

Its not that i wont, but i wont hard code an increase in text size, when i say hard coding i mean the text for everyone will be increased with no option not to, also from what i can tell, it may not be board wide as i may need to edit multiply files to achieve it. Also as i said, it may break parts of the forum. The only way to do it would be through a phpbb3.1 extension, The problem is the forum theme does not use the usual base "prosilver" for the theme, This theme is its own base meaning any extension that changes/ gives user options needs to be themed for this theme otherwise it wont work properly. At this time that is not possible, As per your request i have asked on the developers forums to see if there is another solution.

The theme could use a rethink, especially if most of us are desktop users. This seems like more of a smartphone browser-geared theme, and I know I hardly ever visit on a smartphone unless I'm updating a topic on the fly.

Got no problem with the text size. If it is too small on desktop you can just use the zoom function?

This is not a smartphone geared theme, It is designed for desktops while it also is compatible for smaller devices. Also this is a professional costing me + extensions over $100 so no we aren't going to another crappy made theme any time soon. Also as a note i checked this themes font size against the last theme we had, It is the same so there is not difference. Honestly i am not sure you resistance with using your browsers zoom function, The zoom function it designed for your reason. That being said the ONLY extension i could find to adjust the forums font size on a user to user basis, Which is only a yes/ no selector at a predefined value was only designed to work on phpbb3.1s base theme, As this is it own base theme its not quite compatible. However This themes developer is helping me with making it work

Thank you

For those who use Firefox, you have the option to increase only the font size, rather than the whole site.
