3.2.0-RC1 now available. Validation errors corrected. Despite what was said earlier, this extension WILL NOT work on phpBB 3.1.x. Should you still use phpBB 3.1.x please use Large Font 1.0.0 which will only allow the user option of ~120% font size.

Update from previous version:
  • Download the latest release and unzip it.
  • Disable Font Size in the ACP
  • Delete largefont folder from the server
  • Upload the folder hifikabin to root/ext/ and enable it in the ACP

I don't understand how to download this extension. The download link above goes here:

http://phpbb.hifikabin.me.uk/

Then what? It's just another forum. There's no download button there. How is everyone downloading this? I'm confused?

Have you looked further than the index page?
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Yes I think I found it now. The dowload link is here in this topic page:

https://phpbb.hifikabin.me.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=70

Why wasn't that linked in the first post here then? Why bring us to the forum index page and make us do an extra unnecessary step to find the download link? That's illogical and doesn't make sense.

How did you react when you found out that phpBB could be downloaded here ?

I am sorry that you had a problem finding the download, but at least you have done so now. I have corrected the link in the first post

Well that's different. The phpbb home page is easy to navigate and find the download page. It's a prime feature that is encouraged on there. However, when you click on a link and go directly to a forum, you don't think there's a download page in the forum, because forums are for discussions. Usually a person looks for a download tab in the top navigation menu. That's our first instinct and what users look for.

If a forum had a download tab at the top that would make it easier of course. But when you have to browse forum topic categories to find it, that's less natural and expected. People do not usually expect to find download pages within forum threads. That's not how websites are usually set up. So basically when you see a forum, you do not instinctively know where to find a download page. See what I mean?

Hope that makes sense. The bottom line is: If you can link directly to the download page, like I did above, why not do that? It'd make it a lot easier and more direct.
