SEAWOLF2: I don't know the first thing about webtv or anything. But if you say the pieces appeared larger before, maybe your browser is shrinking the board to fit on the screen? Try removing the left menu bar (at Settings page) and the notation column and see if that helps.

Again, I'm just guessing here, don't know if it has anything to do with it.

pauloaguia:

I DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT YOU SUGGEST ON WEBTV UNFORTUNATELY! 8^(
WEBTV IS A REMOTE INTERNET RECEIVING DEVICE THAT DISPLAYS ON THE TV SCREEN (COMPARABLE TO YOUR PC MONITOR). THERE
IS NO HARD DRIVE, AND NO WAY TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING TO IT AS A RESULT.
I WILL CONTINUE TRYING TO NAVIGATE THE
BK TOOLBAR AND MENU LINKS HERE IN THE MEANTIME. MAYBE SOMETHING WILL CROP UP THAT WILL HELP ME OUT. I SURE COULD USE A
TOOL THAT WOULD ENLARGE THE TEXT HERE!!!
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE INPUT, PAULOAGUIA.

SEAWOLF2: please dont use capital letters for your whole post .. its considered the same as screaming in real life conversations. non-capital letters are easier too read as they are more different than capital letters

i dont think there is a way to enlarge the pieces for espionage ... there are some pages in which you can select the size of the pieces in other games on this site .. but i cant seem to find espionage on those pages either .. sorry :(

Hrqls: Ummmm, just a thought, but, maybe he uses capital letters not as a means of "screaming" BUT maybe for the simple reason that he may not be able to see &/or read as well as the average person can & therefore it helps to have writing in capital letters??? Don't you think your "putting the cart before the horse" in presuming otherwise? Just my opinion

srnity: i know what you mean, i thought about that as well, thats why i didnt post anything about it the first time.
he responded to pauloaugia though who didnt write in capital letters
in every browser you can configure the browser itself so that it will show letters bigger .. i guess thats what seawolf2 did
(that wont work for espionage pieces though as those are images and not letters)

i dont think seawolf2 meant it as screaming. i think though that there are people who see a post in all capitals and associate that with screaming.
seawolf2 probably doesnt know about that though, thats why i posted a note about it :0

Hrqls:

Thank you for speaking up in defense of me. I AM
vision impaired with glaucoma and am having some
difficulty with seeing various aspects of this site. I
am very grateful to those of my opponents who are
using large sized text in their game messages to me. It helps a lot! Yes, I am on webtv; but there is not way for me to "adjust" my webtv browser. It is
merely a primitive form of internet receiver with no
hard drive. It provides a "remote" internet connection
to the WWW via a telephone connection acting as a dial up modem, and a television acting as the monitor. I meant no offense to anyone and nor did I
intend my message to represent "screaming". My deepest apologies to those who were offended by
the all caps message I posted. I am accustomed to using capitals only because it makes things a LOT easier for me to see and read online. Please
forgive me if I have broken some unwritten rule about the use of capitals. I am enjoying my first few days here and do hope I will not be asked to
leave for this "faux pas". Please forgive me. I will
do my best to use normal text in the future, but it
is very difficult for me as I have glaucoma. Thank
you all very much for your input to my query on the
discussion board about the Espionage games.

Regards,

SEAWOLF2

SEAWOLF2: GOD BLESS YOU, AND YOU CERTAINLY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO APOLOGISE....AS SOON AS I READ YOUR POST IN CAPS I KNEW THAT THERE HAD TO BE A VISION PROBLEM, AND FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE i AGREED WITH SRNITY AND HER REMARKS...PLEASE ENJOY YOUR STAY HERE AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN BECOME A PAID MEMBER, AND ENJOY SOME OF THE REAL BENEFITS OF THIS WONDERFUL SITE.

Bernice: And, Bernice, your scaring me - lol

srnity: I know it is awful isnt it HAHAHAHA

Bernice:

Oceans Apart: hehehe one for you :)

SEAWOLF2: I THINK WHAT WE ARE ALL TRYING TO SAY IS FEEL FREE TO USE CAPITALS - NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE - I THINK YOU'VE PROBABLY ENLIGHTENED QUITE A FEW PEOPLE, WHICH IS NEVER A BAD THING

SEAWOLF2:  SEAWOLF2: I'M VOTING FOR THE USE OF CAPS WHENEVER YOU MIGHT BE INVOLVED IN CONVERSATIONS.  THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE SPOKEN OUT BEFORE ME.  I'M EVEN VOTING FOR BOLD, LARGE AND ALL CAPS.  HOW EXTREME CAN THAT BE?????

TexasToest: HEAR HEAR!

Can we take the General Chat discussion over to the http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=36 Discussion Board. Thanks!

SEAWOLF2: i am sorry, i dont know webtv ... i thought all browsers had a feature top incrase text ...

my fault, please accept my apologies

(and of course noone would be asked to leave for something like this! :))

i wonder though, for non-vision-impaired (if i may call those people that way) .. i always though non-capitals are easier to read because those characters are more different than the others .. where capitals seem more similar to another (on a quick glance) .. at least for me capitals are harder to read when i read fast .. is that not the same for people who have bad vision ?
hmm .. maybe the size if more important than the differences .. small differences cant be seen when they are too small :)

i hope you can find a solution for the espionage pieces .. and will have fun

and i will be more tolerant for messages in capitals :)

Hrqls: Seawolf is using WebTV, you cannot increase the fonts on that, if I understood correctly. Nothing worse than having lots of typos because you cannot read what you are typing.

Trust me, I know!

Eriisa: ah! thanks .. i didnt know .. i have never seen webtv .. i dont think its available in the netherlands

Hrqls:  The visually impaired must use capital letters in order to see what they are writing more clearly.  This is not rude, just a necessity.  It's like a hearing impaired person speaking too loudly -- may take some getting used to, but a small price to pay for the benefit of including everyone in our conversations.  

alanback: Yes it is, many a time I have to be told I am shouting as I canna hear meself well
