Default Forums not Large Print accessible

I attach this note from a large print user about the forums incompatability with large print use. Any help appreciated:

------------------------------------------------------
In Netscape 4.75 (my regular browser), if I use a 28-point font (my regular font), text lines at this board are about twice as long as the screen. (It shouldn't do that; it's the stupid software manufacturer's fault for not making the lines wrap at the end of the screen, no matter what size the font.) In IE, large-print lines overlap each other at this board. (You're not going to be able to get exactly the same effect as I do, because I have my Windows accessibility program set to hike up the font, but believe me, the lines are unreadable when I switch to "Text Size: Largest.") Either way, I have to go down to a 14-point font to be able to read an entire line on the screen, and that's way below what I should be reading at.

from another user:

Go to 'profile' and scroll down till you get to Preferences and 'board style'. There are quite a few to choose from but the ones that 'wrap' well include F1 blue, green, pink and 3d blue/black, Acid, DAJ Glass, kdm2. Ones that don't wrap well (and slip off even my 1200x768 screen) include the default subPortal, Last Crusade and Charcoal 2.
