Title: Shrunken WWB forum
Post by: Bakersdozen on August 06, 2014, 08:11:28 am
I am not sure how to ask this in a way that can be understood.  I accidentally hit something and shrunk this website.  It still fills the screen, but everything is a lot smaller.  It's not just the font size, it's everything.  All other websites, files and documents are normal.  Any magic key to hit because this is giving me a headache.

Do you have a mac or pc? What browser are you using? If pc, what windows do you have?

Hold down the Ctrl key and scroll the mouse button for a PC and every thing will enlarge

That did it!  Thank you apis!  That was a little hard on these eyes.

I typically don't do that to make things smaller... I'll increase the size so I can zoom in on pics or read the writing...
