One of the things that attracted me to Gossamer was the fact that the forums respect text size settings in the web browser. That is, if the font setting in the browser is changed from "medium" to "large", the size of the text in the forums changes. Many forums, and a lot of web pages, do not do this. The fact that Gossamer forums do do this led me to suspect that the people at Gossamer know what they are doing.

Community doesn't respect text size settings in the web browser. Is there any chance that this could be changed in a future version of Community? That way users visiting our web sites would not have to experience seemingly arbitrary changes in text size as they move around in our sites, and people with vision problems could have the Community text appear large enough so that they can read it.

Hello Andrew, you are able to change the font settings for your Community user pages. From your Admin login page, go to Templates > User Templates > and select styles.css and press Load. The style sheet being used by Community pages will be loaded into the window and you can modify the font. Change the font-size settings to be percentage and the browser will again be able to control size.

.body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000 }

.body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 100%; color: #000000 }

The above change, for example, would cause the body style to be 100% of the user's browser text size.

Hey, thanks Karen, that works like a charm.

Is there any chance that using % (instead of pt) in this and other style sheets could be made the default in future releases of Community?
