I've gotten well attached to Firefox the last year or two, but something weird is happening.  I upgraded Firefiox from 3.5 to 3.6, and ATI Catalyst from 8.4 to 9.3, but changed nothing else I can recall.  It always seemed more penurious about fonts in the Bioware Social Forums than elsewhere compared to Opera and Sea Monkey, whether I have the "Large Fonts" selected or not. 

I wear glasses with a special "in between" prescription just for the PCs, and a six point (or maybe 5 point -- it's bad!) font is so bad I have to lean in.  I found a setting in Firefox that was for font sizes, but it doesn't affect this place.  I am using Sea Monkey just now, and even in it, when I am composing, the font is damn tiny, although not as hard to see, because it isn't a fuzzy gray color on black! 

Anyone else fighting this?  Will Catalyst 10.2 help? 

P. S. I already prefer Win2K for general PC operation, and Firefox 3.6 in that OS, using the Omega drivers (there are no official ATI drivers for my video card and Windows2000  -- it's a Radeon 3870 on this machine), I have little trouble, but I like to visit the forums between play sessions, and if there's a work-around to run either DA or ME2 in W2K, I don't know of it.

Gorath, I know this isn't the optimal solution, but you can increase (zoom in) on the forum page by holding CTRL and rotating the mouse wheel. I'm assuming this works the same in FF 3.6 as it does in 3.5.8 (which I'm using) and I'm also assuming you have a scroll wheel on your mouse. AS I said, not the greatest of fixes, but it may help you with it until you find a more permanent solution.

You could use Stylish with a

.SEPForumTextOutput { font-size: 1.5em; }

rule or similar.

I assume that Stylish is an add-on for Firefox that I hadn't run across yet.  I'll follow the link momentarily.  Meanwhile, Eurypterid, I have been using the Marble Mouse trackballs for however long they have existed, and there is no wheel emulation.  The newest of them have extra mini-buttions that (in the closeup photos, at least), may have arrow symbols, which mean the newer ones rely on Logitech's mousing drivers, which I've never needed. 

The newer TrackMan trackball devices may have an actual wheel, but those overworked my thumb excessively to the point of carpal tunnel pain.  I have more Marble Mice than there are spaces to set up usable (desktop) PCs, although several no longer have usable balls to match (those can be damaged when your household pets find them and decide they are just shinier toys than their usual ones). 

I've noticed something else that differs between Win2000 and WindowsXP that I never ran across until recently.  The filenames in the current Bioware games' folders are gibberish in Windows 2000 for some reason.  I thought that there were only aethetic differences!  (This is due to my interest in viewing some entries in the Coalesced.Ini file, when not running WindowsXP.)

You can Zoom in Firefox directly from the View menu. (Also Ctrl+ zooms in and Ctrl- zooms out).

You can also set "Zoom Text Only", which will only increase text size when you zoom, not the rest of the webpage.

Marvelous! Thanks! (Of course, you can say, that's what I get for not paying attention to anything new I wasn't looking for in menu item lists on products I've used quite so long!)
