I can read it..but I have 20/20 vision 
1024x768 & smaller shall receive larger fonts
There..that should do it, those w/ 1024x768 and smaller have larger fonts
Open http://www.big632.com/open.html to try it (no more pop ups either)

Seriosuly? What resolution are you running? I made the fonts bigger for those w/ bad eyes.... don't tell me it has to be bigger even...(if you click on the link http://www.big632.com/open.html what site does it open..look in the addy bar.. it's either .../site800.html or .../site.html) ????

Same here. I was running 800x600 and switched up to the larger size you recommended. The webpage opens in about the top 1/3 of the screen and is impossible to read.
I am using Firefox if it helps.

oh damn..maybe the detection doesn't work for firefox..
try which one is best (or if both suck)
http://www.big632.com/site.html
http://www.big632.com/site800.html
the 800 one has larger fonts. Dang, now i have to write a code for firefox detection... I thought it would work (I think it does w/ opera).. sure is nice to have all those different browsers that don't even support simple stuff like a javascript resolution detection grrrrrrrr
The page should open on full screen from top to bottom, not just top 1/3rd ..maybe firefox doesn't like the 100% resizing of the movie...rats

I think I fixed it but don't have FF to test, i was right...FF doesn't accept the 100% scaling and just scales it to 100 pixels.. no wonder you guys need a magnifying glass LOL
Mike, click the "open.html" link and see if it automatically goes to the apge you can read (if not I will add an option of selecting the other version in case the smaller one gets loaded but turns out to be un-readable..for some people
)

The second works nicely with my version of Firefox now. I can read everything and it is about 2/3 or more of the screen. Looking good.

Eddie, can you check if the above link automatically loads the one that you can read (site800)? It should detect your resolution and open that page...but since you have FF nothing is certain
Paul..this is just a side gig
it's more for the fun of it than anything else (yes, I may sound geeky but this stuff is actually fun to do)

TT, Check out my website(invisiblecarbras)
My friend and I built it together. He also is the webmaster for our club
(chevrolet car club of Victoria)
I use firefox as my browser and only have a problem with downloads. You can't send each download directly to a different file.
Never had a problem with resolution and I am at 1024 x 768.
OK had a look at both versions and the 800 vesion is much easier to read.
The first is just too small for comfort.

RHD, those looks very clean and I really like the product, never heard of that before, that's really slick.
For everyone clicking the 2 versions, please click http://www.big632.com/open.html and check if it opens the correct version for you 9the one that has the best font size)
