why is the forum font so small every now and then?

Has anyone else noticed?

I'm on win 7 64bit with Firefox 3.6 but it has been happening for a few months. It did it on my old XP machine as well.

I think I'm hot keying something? Maybe the CSS is jammed up?

I logged out and in and just flushed my cache and it's all very tiny... to tiny to read.

This is the only web page I have this happen on.

For example the main Cakewalk site is fine... and all the rest of the web seems ok too. :-)

any ideas?

    Mike, do you see a % in the bottom right corner? I dont know firefox, but mine has a percentage that you can change to make the print bigger or smaller.

    Thank CJ. I don't see anything like that.

    I'll go check IE.

    In FireFox, Ctrl+mouse wheel, makes fonts larger or smaller, not sure what other browsers do this.

    Sorry Janet but you're still going to have to resort to squinting for those.

    Works with IE 7, too.
    Thanks for making me try it, since previously I used the % control in the lower right corner.

    Chrome has a zoom.

    OT: Sadly, in Chrome I've lost the strikeout capability. It used to work and I cannot find out why it stopped.


    What I mean is, the strikeout looks like it's there, but once posted the strikeout is gone. In the above sentence I started out by highlighting the word strikeout and pressing the strikeout button. The strikeout appears, but after the post, it's gone.

    Hi,

    Dang ... I wanted to have fun with this one! But then after 2 right eye surgeries, just seeing is good enough for me! And saying hello to Mike is as good an excuse as any to use the eyes!

    As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!
