hey guys i need some help. im not sure what happened but some of my other fav websites i go to now have a really small font size. i cant hardyly even read the posts, articles, etc. wasnt like this a week or so ago and i didnt change any settings on my comp. this site is still fine but ebay and a dualsport motorcycle group im in have the small fonts. i have a gateway comp running windows xp....... please help this is making me nuts. TIA, scott

 

update ......... i was wrong. this site also has a smaller font size than usual.

 

Go up to the top toolbar on your internet page, go to View then go to text and take your pick.

 

Yeah, Matt is right, that's how to change it back. Same thing happened to me about 6 months ago. Never happened again and I never figured out why it happenend. Mine got changed to "smallest" and I changed it back to "medium".

 

Press your Ctrl key and scroll your mouse.

 

Ed, what kind of a geek knows about that? Oh great, now I know so I must be a geek too!

Same thing happened to me about two years ago.
'Bout tore my hair out trying to figure out what happened.

Got the tip from a more computer savy member,.......now just passin' it on.

Great & fast way to mess with the minds of your cubicle-mates when they walk away and leave their computer on.

 

AH HA! So it's been YOU all this time....

 

i pressed the control key and nothing happened. on the top of my aol page ( 8.0 ) is .....file .. edit .. print .. window .. sign off .. help .. ive opend all of then and i dont see " view " anywhere. still going crazy here. scott

 

Do you have a scroll wheel on your mouse?
If so hold the CRTL key down and turn the wheel.

OR

The box at the top of my screen shows
File-----Edit-----View-----Favorites-----Tools-----Help
If your is the same,

Click on View, then click on Text Size.

 

Ed, got it to work doing the ctrl and using the scroll. thanks, you saved my eyes and possibly my whole comp from premature failure. mine still doesnt say view up there though. i dunno whats up with that. time to go catch up on some reading now ....thanks again, scott

 

Cooool
Happy to be here,
Proud to serve.
