Screen font size changed????

A couple of days ago I noticed that when I open a thread, all of sudden the font of the thread seems to have zoomed to be bigger. (ie. looks like 14 point vs. the 11 or 12 point font that the home page seems to be).

I know people with poor eyesight probably love this, but my up close vision is good and I really actually find a small font easier on my eyes. Plus I get less on my screen before I have to scroll, which I find annoying.

Did something change on the forum, or did I somehow change a setting. And if I did, any idea how I can change it back? It does not seem to be an issue on any other forum or website I visit.

Thanks alot!
 
Mine just changed a few minutes ago. I thought I hit something. Like maybe I changed the size. lol. Guess not.
FYI. You can adjust it to go back down to a smaller font if you want. Usually you can find it under "View" then "zoom" of sorts. Depending on your browser.
 
Maybe you may have used your roller ball on your mouse,and holding the CNtrl key,and the roller ball,your font will get larger.

I know I have accidentally done it,and also maybe check the % of your zoom.
If you look right down far right of your computer moniter,right above the time,you will see a % for a page to be zoomed.

This can easily be adjusted as well.
 
If it's just one place where the you're experiencing this I don't know how to explain it (maybe an admin knows something), but holding Ctrl and moving the mouse roller will change font size, like the above post says. You can achieve the same effect by using Ctrl in conjunction with + or -.
 
Thanks for the tips. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 so a whole lot is new to me.

The ctrl/scroll tip works temporarily but then it reverts back to the big font whenever I open up a new thread. But at least now I can adjust on the fly.

Will look at the "view" option as well. It's weird because its only a Sheltie Forum thread itself that shows the big font. All my favourites and ribbons show the smaller font.

Cheers!
 
Go to the lower right hand side of your screen where there is a percentage. Click on that and make it the size that you want.
 
I KNEW it was something stupid like that! I've now reset back to 100%.

Thank you, thank you! I scanned all over the screen but missed that little tiny icon.
