My Font's gone whacko !!!

[Mark Young]

The font that I see has changed size. It now appears to be larger and ugly.
I cant find an option in the user cp to change it and it is bugging me.
I first noticed it about 14 hours ago (3.30am my time) and thought it was the site and when I logged on next time maybe it will be back to normal, but it is still the same.

My screen resolutions has stayed the same at 1024 x 768.

Doe sanyone know how I can get back to normal size font?

If you are using Internet explorer, then try clicking on the 'view' menu, and changing the text size. I used to have this problem intermittently when using the wheel on a wheel mouse.

I've found that if I'm holding the CTRL button (for whatever reason) when trying to use the wheel mouse in IE it will shortcut to the view menu. . . sometimes it's nice, when I want to quickly change the font for a minute or two. But mostly annoying.

This has happened to me twice with a twist: The text size shrunk to about size 3. I fixed it somehow wish I knew how.

Maybe you went to view -> text size -> and selected your normal size?

Not likely when you consider I have AOL

This happened to me before. What happened was my cat stepped on the keyboard and did some magical combination of keys that changed the font size. That was on AOL, and AOL has no way to change it back. Luckily that was during the three-week period when my old DSL service was cut and my new DSL service was just being connected, so soon I was able to get my new DSL connection.

Then a few weeks later my cat did the same thing AGAIN. After chasing the cat around for a few minutes, I figured out how to lower the size.

Now my cat doesn't do that anymore, since he knows that that specific key combination (whatever it is, I have yet to figure it out) will make me mad. Now he just sits on the keyboard and mouse whenever he wants my attention. Cats rock.

What a tech-savvy cat...

Yet another piece of info for XIII to add to his hidden conspiracy theory forum. Never knew cats could be computer hackers.

That 'conspiracy' line is getting old, CT...

Hey, I didn't know that. Thanks, Turner! But I wonder if I'm ever going to use it...
