Default Need help reading forums

I know my eyes are going, but I am having a really hard time reading the forums on my laptop. This just started a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure I did something to the computer. The opening page is great put when I go into the forums my font for the whole page goes to about 3. Any ideas?
Thanks Russel Koch

If you hold "Ctrl" and press "+" or "-" this will zoom in and out. Hope that helps.

Where's the LIKE button? Sometimes we get so busy using these wonderful machines that we forget the little things like how to change a display size.

Holding "Ctrl" and pressing "0" will reset the screen size to the default value.

Awesome. The font size gave me a much needed afternoon chuckle!

Also works on some laptops without a mouse. Mine has a touchpad with the equivalent of the mouse wheel in a zone up the righthand side of the touchpad.

Hold down CTRL and slide finger up or down this zone to zoom in or out.

Red face Thanks

I feel; like a fool for not knowing this. And you are probably wondering how can he possibly be building an air plane. When I'm stumped I ask. Thanks again guys.

That has to be one of the best replies I've seen on the forums! Well done.
