Why the smaller print??
« on: February 18, 2014, 12:50:55 PM »
Compared to other sites the print here is much harder to read. To be able to read the same as other sites I have to increase to 125% zoom. Been that way for a long time. Is it something in my site settings?? It really makes my eyes tired. Charlie.  :o :o

Hold down the Ctrl key and hit the up arrow or roll the mouse scroll wheel to change font size.

I use 125% all the time when I'm online no matter the site I'm on. Before I got my new computer (code name Snowflake) I used 800x600 resolution and didn't need to go to 125% but now I run 1280x720 and the characters on most all sites are too small for me to read easily and that's on a 40" monitor.

BBF, maybe you need to change screen resolution in your display settings, I use 1920x1080, works perfect.

Dunno, the Ctrl/scroll works on all of my PCs and my laptop, and every PC I've ever worked on, are you on a Mac?

TIM. NO, a Gateway. I go to font size but nothing changes. The ctrl scroll doesn't do anything. I even tried scrolling pushing both ctrl keys down. Charlie.  :o :o

Try this, hold down the Ctrl key and hit the + or - key on the far right side of the keyboard.
