the administrator should increase the font size, or perhaps have it as an option in the preferences. the font is so damn small at 1280x1024 i spend half my time squinting to read it. talk about making your eyes bleed.

otherwise cool, i love the forums.

I suggest you get your eyes checked.

I have no problem reading the text here 3 feet away from a 17" monitor running at 1280*1024.

Adjust the size in your browser, the size here is rather standard.

12 inch iBook@1024 x 768, about 50 cm away. No problem, on the contrary, I like it a lot.

Other than that, increase the font size in the browser settings.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

Using safari ?
Add this to the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

<key>WebKitMinimumFixedFontSize</key>
<string>11</string>
<key>WebKitMinimumFontSize</key>
<string>11</string>

And if that's not big enough, replace the 11 with 12 or 13 or 14.
