Why are forum list font sizes so unbalanced?

TS query on too small font on forum  page

I  know this has got to be a very minor complaint  about the format of the Forum list page, but it bugs me, and I hope someone can help me to adapt, or how to make a change:

Why is the font size of the names in the “Topic Starter” column so damn small? Can I do something at my end to enlarge it, without having to change the size of my display? Wouldn’t be a better idea for the person who designed the page to increase the font size of the content of columns 2,3,and 4 to be more consistent with column  1, the Topic  column? ( I’d say column 1 font is larger than it needs to be,  but  columns 2,3,4, font size are obviously too, too small)

Thanks, nels96

nels:  What browser are you using?

Gee, It never occurred  to me that the problem might lie in my Netscape 4.8!! I hope not, since I usually don't like other browsers (which is why I haven't upgraded,or switched)

Thanks jepinto,

As I was so gently educated a few weeks ago after asking a similar question - - - you might try > VIEW > TEXT ZOOM > 120%

Worked for my tired old eyes - just a hassle to have to to this manually - wished I could make a permanent default to 120%.

Um...hitting the command key and the plus key at the same time makes the text bigger in every browser I've tried. And it stays that way until you want to change it - just hit command and the minus/dash key. Works in a bunch of applications too - like Photoshop.  

You can also change the text size in your browser preferences.
