I've appreciated how the functionality of DU has evolved through the years. My experience here has generally been quite positive. I attribute that to the functionality of the board and to the dedicated efforts of the admins and mods.

As someone who is visully impaired, I'd also like to suggest that you make options available to view DU pages in normal, large and extra large fonts. Even though I always use the large font setting I find that there are times when I resort to changing the zoom level in my browser to read various things. I am only partially sighted in one eye and the vision in my other eye does not correct to 20/20. I know this doesn't affect the vast majority of the folks here on DU - but it would be a really nice option for those of us who are impacted.

Thanks!
