stupid help

[MarieWriter]

OK- I don't know how I did this, but using my mouse pad I accidentally shrank the forums page down to microscopic size and and I cant figure out how to get it back to normal size... Anyone help we with that?

depending on what browser you're using and what mouse, you might've accidentally invoked a mouse shortcut to reduce/increase the font size. short of busting out a magnifying glass, i'm not sure there's an easy way to change that.

your browser probably has keyboard shortcuts. i suggest exploring them.

Maybe this will work, top right of screen if there are three boxes, a minus, a red X and a center box showing two boxes, click on center box, might increment size.

NO, its not the minimize or close box. lol its a true font change

Are you using an honest to goodness mouse or do you have one of those touch pad mice? 'Cause I've accidentally done the same thing, on occasion. I don't recall what I've done to get it back, I've just had to fiddle with the keys and touchpad until it gets back to the correct size. Maybe the following links can help you.

Sorry, didn't know how experienced a user you were.

It's all good, thank you for giving it a shot. I fixed it by adjusting the font size overall on the computer, restarted it, then adjusted it back to default and it all came out wonderfully

Most web browsers use 'Crtl + ' and 'Crt -' for zoom in and zoom out respectively.

On both Chrome and Firefox you can reset the zoom level with Ctrl + zero.

Ah yes, just for the sake of completeness. If you hold the Ctrl key and use your mousewheel, you can zoom in and out, too. And then there is Ctrl + plus and Ctrl + minus, as the above poster mentioned.
