Hi tech idiot here! How do you attach a tag line or link your biography to the end of your posts. I can’t find how to do it; I use my phone to post and read posts on the forum.
Thanks

Click on your account at top right
scroll down to the settings, select 'account' then 'edit signature'
(my pics here are in the wrong order - right hand pic first)
Tried that and my post signature is saved in my user settings and enabled but it’s not adding as a post signature annoyingly!

Ellie Size matters (from a visual accessibility aspect) - so I've just gone from an 8 to 9 (font).
Didn't want a signature detracting from a message though.

It was the accessibility issue I was subtly addressing 😳
It can be incredibly time consuming, frustrating and/or difficult for someone with limited dexterity or who uses assistive technology to have to zoom in or adjust the page text size etc.
Diagnosed 03/2007. Sporadic Definite ALS/MND Spinal (hand) Onset.
Eye gaze user - No functional limbs - No speech - Feeding tube - Overnight NIV.
Cheers, what do you think is a more practical font size / minimum?
It had crossed my mind, as I'm long-sighted and use reading glasses. If using a phone / tablet in bed at night with weakened arms, it was a bit of a future concern that something as simple as putting reading glasses on becomes a challenge.

I'm often half-afraid to draw attention to something which a person (or people) isn't aware of and which can cause other people major problems - I fear it might ruin their 'now' 😬 but, at the same time, I know that some people, including me, can have real difficulty with accessibility.
Cheers Ellie I campaign on an unrelated illness / disability awareness front around accessibility adaptations for that specific issue, so I'm always happy to learn and share other additional considerations and adaption aspects that make other folks lives easier overall.
Not being able to put reading glasses on one morning concerned me a bit, so thanks for highlighting the reality of living through additional challenges.

Sorry for laughing at your comment Ellie but it was amusingly written… I did immediately increase my font though, so the message did get through x
