I don't have a particular vision problem, but I believe that the words that you have posted as links on this forum could be made easier to read. Take a look at the items at the top of this page, "home, new topics, help, search" etc. There may be members who would find it easier to read "solid", dark text. Same goes for the words, "new threads", etc that appear at the top of the message board.
Other than the font problem, I applaud your efforts to make the Web more accessible for seniors. I predict a great future for the site. You know from current news, that about 7,000 people a day are reaching the age of 65. I'll be promoting SeniorDashboard.com to other seniors and a couple of retirement communities.
One other suggestion: How about a Financial link that would include easy links to a number of the major banks and investment companies? I'd think that seniors would appreciate easy links to Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Vanguard, Fidelity, E-Trade, etc. For all I know, that may require participation by those institutions, and that may not be so easily gotten.
Once again, your idea is great, wish that I had thought of it.

@ jdwalker. I must to agree with fonts being so small. The way I got around it is holding the Ctrl (control) key down and tapping the + key. To bring it back down do the same except tap the - key. I hope this solves your problem.

Great suggestions! I have taken the liberty of posting the clear directions for increasing the font size on the home page, and have combined Voter, Social Security and VA pages into one, making room for two new pages: Financial Institutions and Public Lists.
Please let me know if these are helpful, and thank you for your effort improving the site!
