How to make the text bigger and clearer
You can change the way you view most of this site. You can view it as words only, without pictures, by clicking the 'text only' link in the top-left corner of this page. You can then make it look how you prefer by clicking the 'change the text-only settings' link at the bottom of every page. You can come back to the graphic version at any time by clicking the link at the foot of the text-only page.
Things you can change are:
- Colours:
Yellow On Black , Black On White , White On Blue , Black On Cream - Text Size:
Tiny , Small , Medium Small , Medium , Large , Extra Large , Extra Extra Large - Font:
Verdana , Times , Courier , Helvetica , Arial , Bookman Old Style , Geneva , Chicago , Courier New , System
Note: Not all browsers support all possible font, size and colour combinations.
More information is available on the Betsie website.
Most browsers allow you to specify your own font, size and colour combinations, overriding any given by the current page. You may find that route more flexible than the options allowed here. Consult your browser documentation for details. If you increase the text size within the browser itself - generally the design details of the site are maintained up until a 120% increase of the font-size.
Notes for users using text-only browser (or version of this site)
Our website has been developed to make it accessibile to you. For users using a text-only browser the content has been divided up into logically ordered blocks of information allowing you to skip directly to the search functionality, section navigation and page content of every page.
Notes for users using older browsers
We recommend that you upgrade to a modern browser to view the site in its best form (eg Mozilla Firefox, IE 6, Netscape 7, Opera 7, Safari 1 etc). Doing so will improve your general web experience, enabling you to use this site as we would like you to. We encourage you to visit the Browser Upgrade Campaign page from the Web Standards Project for more details to learn how and why you should upgrade your browser.
Protecting older browsers
We use something called Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to make pages look how we want them to. Older browsers weren't built to support CSS, and only recent versions of the major browsers support CSS adequately enough to avoid unpredictable layout problems. To get around this challenge, CSS can be effectively hidden from browsers incapable of displaying the content properly. The details of the new Scope design are only visible in newer standards-compliant browsers. Those who continue to use older browsers will see a much simpler Scope -- one that offers content in a stripped-down design.
