Weeder, check your toolbar. Top left corner, there should be a button that says "View". If there is, there should be a drop-down menu with the words "Text size". Select "large". I have come across that on my own 'puter sometimes and I find that somehow it's been changed. If that's not it, I have NO clue what else to try. Hope that helps.

Hi Weeder, try this...

At the top of your screen you'll see "files", "edit", "view", and "tools".

Click on tools.

A drop down list opens, find "internet options", click on that.

Towards the bottom right of that box, you'll see "accessibility",

Click on that and another box opens.

Click to check the box that says..."ignor font size specified on webpage," and then click ok.

When you close all the boxes out, the fonts should appear larger to read!

Hope this helps you!

As you can guess from some of my previous posts Weeder, i'm more than a little short on computer knowledge,

this sums me up perfectly...





I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Jimmy the computer guy,

to come over. Jimmy clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. He gave

me a bill for a minimum service call.



As he was walking away, I called after him, "So, what was wrong?"



He replied, "It was an ID ten T error."



I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, "An, ID ten T

error? What's that . in case I need to fix it again?"



The computer guy grinned.... "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error

before?"



"No," I replied.



"Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out."



So I wrote out ........ I D 1 0 T

The font size is normal on the forum posts... It is very small on my reply here. My e mails are tiny teeny..

Hi Abbey, Sojo, Basco, BR!! I've been occasionally getting that too, Weeder, and do know normally how to fix computer stuff.. ID01T indeed. Bloody cheek.. hee heee.... I think we need some really powerful magic. I was very close to getting some blood sacrifice thingie going in that volcano thread - when BR sidetracked me the other night, with protestations of purity. Did you see the film, Wicker Man.??. wicked grin. I wonder where Anastrophe is right now. He will of course need to come here willingly..........

Hallelujah, Sister!!!

And I didn't touch Anastrophe.. I swear it. (Valerie would take a very dim view of that and probably set her dogs onto me!) Put the axe down, Nomad!!! I promise you can be master of ceremonies should the need ever arise again.

So that's where you've gone! Deserted me, have you? Just as I was getting ready for the sacrifice.
