Ooo the print is small. I looked for a way to enlarge it to no avail.

Are you talking about the appearance of IHD on your screen? If so, can you change the defaults in your browser?
There is an option for changing font size in the messages you type, although I know that Epoman (the site founder) was not a big fan of changes in font size and color, so we need to use judiciously.

You should be able to go to page or tools on your toolbar and change the size of what you are reading. My son set mine on medium because I have a hard time and it seems to work for me.

Another option is to go down to the right corner of the screen in Internet Explorer. There will be a Magnifying Glass with a + inside and to the right of that 100% or another number. To enlarge the display there are two ways to do it. First way is to click on the magnifying glass and Secod is to click on the down arrow past the number percentage and choose zoom level.
If that is still a problem, there is low vision software out there that can help, but pricey. The software will do more than just what was described in these replies. If you want a couple links on that type of software, I can post it.

Thank you to those who have helped this member. Let us know Orange County if any of this worked.

I don't have a problem anywhere else on the web. Its mostly in the quotes. ^^^^ at this Forum.

Forgot one setting that all Microsoft and Apple computers have, accessibility settings. You can reverse video so that the fonts appear white on a black background using grey scael for other objects on the web. You can adjust font settings there also in Windows, not sure with Apple (only used it on a few occasions). I you have Apple, it can read it to you if I remember correctly using okarol's laptop.
So try using the previous mentioned adjustments and then try the accessibility functions to reverse video so you can see the quotes better. If you need help, I can makes some screen shots and put it into a Word document.
Are you having trouble distinguishing the two dark colors in quotes? You may need to see an eye doctor who can prescribe tinted glasses that help distinguish colors better. Or see and opthalmologies who has more traing and specializes in looking into the eye.
Quick note, long way around is to highlight the text you want to read, copy it and paste it into Word to where you can enlarge the text for easier reading.

I use the ctrl button and the mouse scroll wheel. Press ctrl and then scroll the mouse. You can make the print either smaller or larger this way without changing the settings for every page. Just return it to normal size when you're done here.

look on the right bottom
Internet icon for a magnifying glass and 100% click on it and you can get enlarged a few times

Well this still works in Microsoft Vista. However Accessibilty Functions are not as easy to get to as on XP.
I'm researching photo resizing next. PowerToys in XP does not work in Vista in where you could just right click and choose resize, then choose size and it makes a copy in a smaller size. So far quite a few people are yelling at Microsoft on their tech site about this.

I have Windows Vista. I click on CTRL and roll the center wheel on the mouse and you have whatever size you want to read.
-
Yep G-Ma, tried it last night to make sure. At least Microsoft kept that.
Found another prolem though when saving pictures from a website though. You would notice it here because here you can't post .bmp files, which Vista saves a picture as and doesn't allow you to switch to a .jpg file. You have to do a rename file to get rid of the .bmp and change it to a .jpg or a .jpeg ending after the title you named.
Oh what fun I am having with Vista. :sarcasm;

OHHH thanks....
