[delalyn]

I JUST FOLLOWED A SUGGESTION TO REGISTER WITH 'GRAVATAR' BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT EITHER OF THESE ARE?

ALSO HOW DO I CHANGE THE STANDARD ICON ABOVE MY USERNAME? i CAN'T SEE WHERE TO UPLOAD A NEW IMAGE OF MY OWN?

This sets it all out

Also, please stop shouting.

SORRY 'ChuckFickens I am 75 with a sight difficulty. The UPPER CASE letters help!

[HowardKennitby]

If you have sight problems you can make the text larger by holding down the Control key and pressing the + symbol.

[MarkRae]

Have you tried increasing the font size in your browser? Most support the Ctrl+ to increase, Ctrl- to decrease and Ctrl0 to reset...

THANK YOU 'FACTOR 30' I LOOKED AT THAT AND I SEEM TO BE ACTIVE WITH 'AVATAR' BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW. WHAT 'AVATAR' AND 'GRAVATAR' ARE.
ALSO HOW DO I CHANGE THE ICON ABOVE MY USERNAME?

[delalyn]

Thank you 'HowardKennitby' that worked a treat but the paragraphs have shifted a bit to the right and some text cannot be seen

[HowardKennitby]

Are you using a laptop or a PC?

[Pea Pod]

Avatar is the name for the picture that will appear that you are calling Icon.

[delalyn]

PC

I too am partially sighted delalyn, if block caps help you, then stick to them, may have to nudge a few folk, but if it helps then keep them.

'Avatar' is what the little picture is called 'Gravatar' is where you register and set up a new Avatar.

[HowardKennitby]

Does your internet browser fill the entire width of the screen?

[delalyn]

Thank you 'mamyalynne' that's good info'

HowardKennitby' Yes! I can't see the last word but i guess it is 'screen'

[delalyn]

HowardKennitby'

Yes the browser does cover the full screen width.
i clicked 'reset' in 'view/zoom' and got the original screen back! I tried 'control +' again and whilst the letter size increases the whole paragraph moves to the right again!
Thank you for trying to help me everyone!

if you have a mouse, hold the Control key down and spin the wheel on the mouse: one way makes the type smaller, the other way makes it bigger. You can stop when it's big enough to read.

[factor-fiction]

I can see your avatar now

[Zacs-Master]

Your avatar is very interesting delalyn, what is it?

[HowardKennitby]

I agree with Mamy. If you need to use upper case letters to see them just keep using them. We will cope.

[delalyn]

Thank you for that 'jno' I'll give it a try later!

Hi 'Look out'...
It is my cap badge when serving with the RAF in Aden (now Yemen) 1955-7.

Thank you again Howard; i will try enlarging first but you are very understanding thank you for that!
