is there a way of....?

hi guys


i use the Apple Support Communities EVERY day because i run constantly into trouble AND it's such a good place to get friendly & to the point help . no faffing about, just the way i like it...


only recently did i notice that the Forum as been ''set up'' differently & has some new ''functions'' as the ''insert image'' - which i love, it's sooo easy !


now, i usually have a problem posting in forums w/ my 27'' iMac, the fonts being WAY TOO SMALL to make writing/reading comfortable + it's difficult to go back & correct something one wrote - placing correctly the mouse cursor becomes a hit or miss affair.. - luckily here there is a ''font size selector'' which TOTALLY solves this problem - BRILLIANT !!


however i've found that each time i come back here to post, i have to re-set it to my desired size !?


i tried looking around in my profile, my stuff, etc...to see if there was a way to set it permanently to a certain size & leave IT at that


the same applies when displaying the discussions page - i like to set it at displaying 30 items per page but if i leave & come back later i have to re-set this as well !


maybe i'm being finicky but would you guys know of ANY way to set these functions permanently ? kind of as in an ''app's preferences pane'' so that each time you launch it, it ALWAYS comes up set up the same way, you know what i mean ?


that would be SO useful to me ....


many thanks, any suggestions will be very appreciated

I don't know about setting these Support Communities' font size permanently, but in Safari > Preferences... Advanced tab, there's this Safari-wide setting:

i know i shouldn't but i have to say it : i LOVE YOU MAN !!!


all this time the solution was starring me in the eyes & i couldn't see it , until you pointed it out to me that is !...LOL....


i have a Cintiq 21UX which HAS a lower enough resolution to actually display this & others in a way that it no longer is a pain in the proverbial tush....LMAO.....now i know that cusing a Cintiq as a ''low res'' display is a bit over the top & i'm sure some would say plain carzy BUT i think CRAZIER is to waste my eyes over this - let's face it one can always buy another Cintiq but a pair of eyes ? hum....last i heard, one couldn't....


right now i'm typing this on it & have NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER seeing, reading, man even guessing what's coming up next !!!


you rock man &....life's good, again ;-)
