Help! New Dell PC

I got a new Dell PC and I'm trying to increase the text size on the Pelican BB's.
It shows the full page now, But the text is a little to small for my eyes I tried the tool bar at the top of the page and went into settings and increased the font size there but it didn't change anything on this page. I shut down the PC and restarted but still no change.
TIA , Bob

One way you could try is click on
view, text size and then select larger or largest (normal is medium)
if that makes the screen look too odd for you the only other option is to reduce the screen resolution. if you want i'll tell you how to do that.

I am guessing you got a new monitor with a higher screen resolution... right click on the desktop (your base picture/backdrop - close all windows...) - drag down to properties -- that will bring up display properties -- go to the settings tab (far right) - change your screen resolution to less. This will change how everything looks, not just the BBS, but in my opinion if you change the browser settings it will make a lot of web pages weird....

Try this:

Tools--> Internet Options-->Accessibility

Make sure these boxes are checked:

Ignore font sizes specified on web pages
Ignore font types specified on web pages

Click OK and OK again to dismiss the boxes.

Now, use the "Size" icon (the double A graphic) to adjust the typesize.
