i want to complain about the use of small type sizes for parenthetical comments in DAZ3D forums. Frankly, the small type faces are difficult to read. At least I find them difficult to read, and they accomplish nothing.

I use Google Chrome on a 2K (2560x1440) monitor which does make the default browser size look smaller, and I imagine that a 4K monitor would be worse and require default browser magnification for some people. I'm 75, my eyes have been through hell but still work(sort of), but I can still read the "small" style without computer magnification, yet. Yes, I'm one of those who uses the "small" size "Styles" option sometimes when making parenthetical comments in my forum replies(like this). It's usually just silly musings or unimportant details, but it's the way I speak. So, you're not missing anything from me. In fact almost everything from me can be ignored with equal dismissal. Including this.
Is that even widespread? I tend to do it oly if I am (making an attempt at) being funny.
I read the forums mostly on iPad so pinch n zoom make the text as large as you want. Built in windows and Mac OS tools for accessibility enabled can help too. Also third party addons and apps for magnifying glass hover reading.
US federal gov't is implementing updated ADA requirements and WCAG 2.0 has to be implemented July 1 - huge headache to be in compliance but should make it easier on individuals with disabilities. US Government site at justice reguarding it https://www.ada.gov/resources/web-guidance/
many solutions to the this issue. Had to pinch n zoom to read you complaint. Hehe just kiddin my bi-folcuals are working this morning LOL
I'm sure there's a browser addon to force minimum font size displayed ... if not, there should be one. I used to have it set on another forum but can't remember if it was a forum option or a browser doohicky...
