My eyes pain after reading the Chronicle online forums for some time. The letter size of forum posts is small, and that of quoted posts is miniscule. I wish Chronicle provides an option to INCREASE letter size.

If you use Firefox you can press down on the cntl key and use the mouse scroll to change the size of the overall page.

Oh, thanks. Is there any possibility that I can get this increase of letter size in the IE browzer?

I have IE, and there is a "Page" arrow near the upper right corner of the tool bar with a dropdown menu. Two of the options on that menu are "Zoom" and "Text Size."
Also, in the bottom right corner of my screen, I see the term "100%" next to a magnifying glass with a plus sign inside. That function allows me to magnify up to 400%.

Just push control (ctrl) and plus (+) together, and that enlarges what's on the screen.
