Can we bump the default font size up a notch or two for those of us with weak eyes?

Thank you

Yes, some people, especially older people, don't see so well.

Would IE9 have that and where? Sorry I'm not a computer nerd, in fact the things hate me.

On the top left you should see 'View'. Click that. There are two options, one is 'Zoom', which is sort of like using a magnifying glass. There is also 'Text Size' which i would recommend.

They changed that with IE9. I did find an increase text size function but that won't override a websites default. Zooming enlarges everything so I end up with text running off the page.

Oy vey I told you these things hate me!

Hmm.. i got that straight off of my IE9 that i have on my computer, so not sure what could be changed.

Ok, i have the solution to why the Text Size function didn't work....
Go to Tools ~> Internet Options ~> Accessibility (bottom right) ~> Add check to 'Ignore font size specified on webpages'.
Now try the Text Sizer again. I tried this out on a few pages and it worked, using IE9.

Quick fix: Hold down Ctrl, and scroll your mouse wheel away from you to zoom in on the current window. Hold down Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel towards you to zoom out.
