My page/text sizes are wonky!
Self | 9/20/'14 | Zionist Conspirator

What in the blue blazes is up with my computer now???

First I found it loading pages at a smaller size than I had it set. Then when I corrected the problem on those pages, other pages that I wanted set smaller also jumped up a few sizes.

I thought I was supposed to be able to set each page's size individually? Now the size of one page affects the sizes of others!!!

Could this have anything to do with that "open candy" my anti-virus shield found?

Try holding ctrl and scrolling the mouse wheel up and down. it’ll adjust text size.

It can happen if you hold the CTRL key down while rolling the mouse wheel.

CTRL-0 might restore the normal text size.

Control, plus key, plus key, plus key until it’s the size you want. Overshot the mark and got it too large? Control, minus key, minus key, etc.

For browser page size:

CTRL + '+' = larger

CTRL + '-' = smaller

I don’t know if this is going to help, but I was recently shown to hold down control, and then hit + to increase the size of the page, or hold down control, and then hit - to decrease the size.

Try a complete reboot.

What browser?
Windows?

I can’t believe no one has told you to buy a Mac yet.

It’s not the text. It’s your eyes. You have SLVA - sudden limited visual acuity.

Sorry to tell you it is permanent.

I have bought lots of Mac's and ALL they did was increase my size. :-)

It might have something to do with your computer. I use an old Windows 7 desktop for my important work, because it is very reliable. My newer Windows 8 tablet is a total clusterf**k, and I can’t even trust it to store important data. Even the people who designed it have admitted that it is inferior to earlier versions of Windows. My advise to you is to just go to the Control Panel and play with it. Read the fine print, and the finer print under the fine print. And just go from there. Remember, the computer itself will teach you how to use the computer.

Since I got my new computer this year with Windows 8, my pages are constantly jumping from small to large without my doing anything. It is really annoying.

Take a closer look at those Mac's. There might be something infront of the word other than lower case "i". . . perhaps the word "Big?" Grin. . ..

Well... buy an old Mac.

Don't go past 10.6.8, and get the metal case.

And then run a separate partition for Linux and start porting your data over...
