Help! I can't read FR on my laptop!

Posted on 08/02/2010 11:34:28 AM PDT by Bluestateredman

Help! When I visit FR on my laptop, the print is so tiny that I can't read it. Adjusting the screen resolution doesn't help. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Firefox browser? On Windows - Control+zero = normal zoom (found under View on top menu bar next to History next Bookmark.

Internet Explorer - also under View - zoom, try making it bigger. I had a problem with IE using XP and went to Firefox. Drove me nuts.

Could be something else.

If you can’t read FR — how are we supposed to tell you anything?

Are you sure you’re logged in?

GO out into your garage, find a medium sized hammer, then hammer it until you achieve the desired font size.

Werks fer me!

In Explorer...go to “View” menu, “Text Size” and choose “Large”...works for me.

It all depends on where you live. Blue states have more fine print. But seriously, Ctrl key and the + sign should do it on either IE or FF.

Lay's Baked Potato dip doesn't really taste like baked potatoes at all.

That's because it tastes like dip.

I use firefox and hold control plus the plus sign and that will increase the size of the page.

Hold down the “CTRL” key and then roll the scroll wheel on your mouse up and down until you get to a size that you can read.

Hold your laptop in front of a mirror- close- so the admin monitors can see what your screen looks like.
