I'm viewing in 1152x864 with small fonts and smallest fonts in IE 5.5. I like it, and it doesn't show up grayed out like it was in Feedback and Testing.
Oops,  it's grayed out on my work computer but looks fine at home with the above settings.[This message was edited by Jim Smith on 28 November 2000 at 06:56 PM.] |

Well It's not bad. But if everyone can understand the reasoning behind this test.
To paste tab here; everyone is using their favorite word programs>ie>"notepad";"wordpad";"microword";
lotus; clicktab>etc.
That's all fine; but some of these programs paste the font size and/or page size that it was written on; and main problem would be the printing someone would like to do off here.
I am only familiar with "internet explorer" brower and up top there is a view tab that shows "text size" or "font size" option; and if you select the right size for viewing what ever tab is up there; you can see and print anything one puts up.
So b0b is trying(I believe) to make a "split the difference" type font here to make it easier for the common(not a computer geek) steel player to get what they need out of here.
I have no problem with any font size here; cause with my font/text options in this browser; I can size anything for my printing/editing/viewing pleasures.

Thanks Ricky.
Never was aware of the view tab where you change font size until now.
Everything looks just fine |

| FWIW, I think the way it was before is much superior. (my previous post was just to be silly). I find this unpleasant to look at. Ricky, I just tried the "text-size" option, and I see what you mean. You know, from a PR point-of-view, I can see people coming into the Tablature section for the first time, not knowing anything, and exitting because it looks so unpleasant in this smaller font. Most serious tabbers eventually figure out the right way to do it. IMHO, this kind of compromise to suit those that haven't yet gotten their tabbing technique down, at the expense of making the whole section less "user-friendly" looking, is not the thing to do.

With Ricky's tip about the View option to change font size in Internet Explorer, I sure don't have a problem with the smaller size used on posting, Bobby Lee. However, Jeff also has a point about the "user-friendliness" of it. Perhaps a click tab on the page that says "How to view or print larger tab", something like the "What to do when your item sells" tab might be helpful. Good stuff, Ricky and bOb--I think you're heading in the right direction>>>>. I'm sure my "Thanks" are from all who use this section for the work you do for us.

| This works fine for me. If you enlarge the text size like Ricky says, not only does it work on the screen, but the printed text is larger as well. I couldn't (easily) read the tab yesterday after I printed it out - today...no problemo. |
