Need IT Help

[Poolboy21409]

I hit some key or combination of keys while in the Forum yesterday and the font has reduced down to about 4 or 6 point making it almost impossible to read. The keys in question were at the bottom left, I think, of the keyboard. Can anyone give me a hint on how to restore the font to a readable size? All other websites and applications were not effected. HELP I can hardly read anything!!

Most likely you pressed CTRL while scrolling the mouse wheel. That adjusts font size up and down.

 

You could fiddle with that until you get to a size you like, or in most browsers there are menu options to control zoom. Look for a "Reset".

Neat!! It works!

 

Why don't they tell you the good stuff from the beginning?

Thanks deej- i fiddled around and found the "zoom". I am really spoiled - used to having an entire IT dept. at my disposal. Retirement sucks!!

The ctrl-mousewheel thing has been around for years, but you generally only learn about it accidentally and forever wonder what happened.

 

It's particularly useful when some 20-something designer decides that very small gray text on a lighter gray background is readable. Bump up his font size and you can suddenly read the site.
