Why is everything suddenly so HUGE?!

Post by Lisa » Sun Aug 12, 2012 10:52 pm

I was here earlier today and everything was fine. Now it's like the resolution has been changed to 480x640. The forum doesn't even fit on the page anymore because the fonts and everything are so large. I have checked other pages and everything else still looks normal. I checked in user control panel and didn't see where to change font size. Help please!

Update: Well, I updated my signature and now it suddenly snapped in the opposite direction. Everything seems a little too small but much better than when it was too large.

Sorry you are having problems, Lisa, but everything is normal on my computer. I am not computer literate, so I can't help you at all. :oops:

Everything appeared fine at 10:00 on my laptop and still now on my tablet. Have you tried re-booting?

On my laptop, sometimes when I'm scrolling down, I've accidentally held down the CTRL key. It will depend on your computer, but trying holding CTRL and scrolling up or down. On my laptop, it increases the size of everything on the site I'm looking at. Worth a try.

Brian, thank you so much! That seems to have fixed it.

The other night it went away when I edited my signature but it was back the next day. It was horrible to try to read anything here and this was the only site it was happening with. I didn't want to comment again since no one else seemed to be having the problem, but I still was. I took your suggestion tonight with the scrolling while holding Ctrl and sure enough, that was it!

Thanks so much again for taking the time to reply
