Is it something I did?

Post by fig »

Since some time last Thursday all the text on the site has gone tiny. Since no one else has complained I'm guessing it's something I did, but what? I seem to recall there used to be a font increase/decrease link somewhere on the front page but now I need it I can't find it. :zhelp:

Is it only this site, or other internet sites as well?

That only works for IE, if you are using mozilla firefox, CTRL ++ (and CTRL -- to decrease)

It's only this site; thesamba forums present like they always do.

Ctrl up arrow has the same effect as up arrow.

None of the control keys suggested has any effect on my PC. But I went to the View menu and selected a larger font size and all looks fine again. We'll see if I have to do that every time I log in to this site or if I somehow accidentally changed the setting previously.

Try hold ctrl and scroll up on the mouse. I just checked it and I have enlarged it now and it only applies on the site that you enlarge/minimize.

Not scroll up, scroll down, but it does work. This is really good news for old toppies. Thanks ChrisG. Are there any old toppies around here? :oops:

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. I fixed it through the View menu and now I can read the site without borrowing JH's reading spectacles.
