The software is needing a little configuring, but the main item - how to turn off ads, was just configured.

Go to your member name in the top right corner and click on it. That will bring up your User Control Panel. Go down do Preferences and click on that.
Below shows you what you should be looking for, the bottom of this snip is the disabling of ads and sidebar.
Also at the very top you will see where you can turn on and off the "Yesterday's Forum Activity" newsletter email.

How does one increase the font size? We senior citizens like a larger font🤣 I tried toggling the toggle [😁😁😆😁] on the bar above, but nothing happens.
 
Such as this? The A with a down arrow is the font chooser, and the T with the up/down arrow is the size. And the drop to the left of the A is the color change icon.

PS: What are you calling a toggle?

This font change is only to be used for small changes and NOT for the equivalent of post yelling. The admins and mods do not allow the general use of increasing font size.

This is just a nice-to-have request but a "Thanks" button would be helpful for situations where we may not be happy with the news but are still appreciative for the information or update. It would also be helpful to have a "Sad" button for commiserating. Based on some searching it would appear these should be possible in the current version.

The thumb up can be Thanks. Or I can try to find a smiley that is not in the smileys. But there is a sad reaction. Hold down on Like and see the 6 or so reactions.
 
Let me check the time frame on that. It may have changed and I missed it.

ETA: Give it a try now, if within one day.
 
Try it now. Our amazing developer found the control for us and turned it on. If the animation is disturbing or hard on the eyes, you will be asked to change it. So, be reasonable please.
 
Don't know if it would be a setting or if this forum software has it ...

Some of the forums I am on - when I return to the "New Posts/Unread Content" they either remove the thread I just read or they dim/unbold it so I don't return to it unless there was another new post

I was referring to the T with the up-and-down arrow. It's working today, and this font size is 22.
 
The animated Avatars have been disabled. The staff and some members with eye problems have found them making the forum difficult to read due to the flickering of the images. I gave it some hours to make sure it was not just one person or two, but have heard from others, and so has the staff. So, please enjoy the forum with beautiful train avatars or whatever is good for you. But they will not be animated.
 
That's probably something better changed in your web browser or screen resolution on your end.
As was previously mentioned, when posting, use the default font size, without all caps or bold. Thanks. Following Ryan's instructions is a good idea.
