I think the text could be a little bigger, it might just be me but I've been having a hard time reading some things on the site and I'm using the lastst verison of firefox and do we have to be level 5 before we can chat in the general topics?

Try pressing Ctrl + 0 or Ctrl and "+" a few times.
And no you only have to be level 5 to post in the Hardcore lounge.

And so, Malfunk saves the day. :D
Btw, you can also just hold CTRL and scroll up.

Sorry for the late response, yeah holding CTRL + '+' or CTRL + scrolling will allow you to 'zoom' in.

I know this is not an actual 'fix', but it will be taken into a consideration when we plan to redesign.
Because readability depends on a lot of factors it's best to have users, in this case, zoom in on the page so they can see it more clear rather than try to change it on the site because it will look different in all browsers and on different computers etc :/

So yeah I would suggest using the 'zoom' function as a quick fix, I will try to see if I can implement a more customizable layout where you can specify the text size and pick different background colors for instance.

Thanks for the suggestion!
