Website -- Tiny Fonts on Sidebar

I've been offline for awhile and have just been getting acquanted with the 'new' website layout/colors...it looks awesome.   I'm not sure if this is just my computers' settings (although I never had the problem before), but the sidebar fonts are super tiny.  I ordinarily don't need glasses to read, but I had to magnify the sidebar to read the titles.  Can this be fixed or if it's my own problem can someone tell me how to fix my settings to read them? The rest of the website is fine, easily legible for me.  Appreciate any assistance, because I know there are some interesting links I wish to investigate on the sidebar.  Thanks ever so much!

It's tiny on my computer too. So small that the font looks a bit fuzzy.

Thank heavens someone else mentioned this. I had to get a magnifying glass to figure out what the words were. It would be so nice if you'd make the font a bit larger. Thank you.

Why didn't you? Don't wait, people, tell us if there is a problem! We may not all have it, but if some do, then others might. Can't fix it if we don't know it's broke.

It looks perfect on my system -- has ever since the revamp you guys made with the smaller header, getting rid of the sidebars, etc. Same size as the text of the comments.

But when I do encounter text that's smaller (or larger) than I like, I simply hit cmd - or + accordingly until it's the way I want it. Less than one second of effort. Thank goodness for those commands

Until and/or if the fonts get enlarged, you can just hold down the
Control Key
and press the
+ key
at the same time. Repeat this as necessary until the you reach the size you want. (you can do this with almost any web page).

Yep, it should work with any browser :D

Oh, hell. Never wait to ask about something like this! Although I can see it really easily on mine and I am picky about easy readability. I kept making it bigger and people said it was too big! lol

Anyone have any suggestions?

is it any better now? I increased the font size and expanded the width of the sidebar a little.
