    Hi All,

    We are currently working updating the design and home page along with other parts of the site and I wanted to see if I could get your feedback and comments on this particular subject. I wanted to find out how you guys are finding font size on the site.

    Do you guys feel it is adequate or are you looking for a larger font size?

    Are there areas on the site that could a larger font size then what is currently set? Such as buttons or Navigation.

    Does the font size scale properly for mobile? Would you like it to be larger?

    Any feedback on this matter would be extremely helpful for our upcoming design revision.

    Thanks again for all your contributions.

    -George

    It's alright by me, but you should defer to those who request that it be enlarged so everyone is good with it.

    Basically it has come up in internal discussion that font size on some elements is too small I just wanted to see if there was anybody else who may have the same feedback.

    The answer to such questions depends on the device one uses to read the forum. I typically read the forum on a 17" laptop and the font size is fine, even without my glasses. However when I read on my iPhone the font is tiny, but then the text on pretty much all websites is tiny on the iPhone.

    Thanks Tim, for the feedback. The mobile responsive view will definately get some attention in general but specifically we need to address the font size on mobile. May I ask which iPhone you have and the current version of the OS?

    Mobile in general there is still an issue with sizing. When we basically rolled out this theme we just didn't want it to be completely broken on mobile. But we know that mobile needs some TLC in terms of object resizing and navigation element sizes.

    I read this forum on my desktop most of the time and the font is fine. Don't recall ever viewing it on my phone.

    I've read the forum on a number of devices (desktop PC, Surface Pro, iPhone 6S+) and do not have a problem with the font sizes. Like @george mentioned, there's some element sizing issues on mobile, but as far as reading posts goes I think it is fine.
