Some time ago I saw a piece.
Works just ... Increase text in a few clicks. People with low vision easier to read text. Like this little ideas have not been. If there was, then Sorry.

Let's include each and every option there could be, and it won't be mini BB anymore. Let it be just a regular forum software, like anything else, then it will be perfect.

Stop communism please.

Stop callousness and die-hard!

This module will allow people with low vision to use the forum. A set or not set, this addon is a matter of choice.
Moreover, the proposal on which the developer does not refuse.

I suppose this thing works like choosing a skin. Like you would have different skins (with different fonts) and choose them under your profile. Or implement choosing other way. Here are some recommendations how to implement such code.

You can have this function using the keyboards (keys Ctrl and + or - or 0).

Increasing-text with a mouse click is like switching between CSS : you have to code a style sheet by size of font you need... but what size is THE good size ?

I think that resizing text with keyboards seems more usefull since you can have YOUR OWN size easily...

But maybe, I don't really understand what you mean ?

You're really right.

Each browser has this font usability option embedded. Sites authors, which allow to select it dynamic way, probably do not know about such feature ;-)

BTW miniBB's layout was intentionally planned to support browser's zooming options. You can zoom miniBB-based forums for very large amounts, still it's inner layout schema will be kept.
