Is the font changed on the boards or is it just IE messing up again? :)

You accidentally made the default font bigger possibly? Just a guess...

If so:

Hold ALT + V
then hit X
then hit M

Correction :-

Hold ALT + V
then hit N
then hit M

Same thing happened to mine. :)

Weird... I just thought that I messed it up, yet, again.

Did you figure out what you did wrong?

From the IE menu: View | Text Size

Medium is the default.

Yea....

It changed to "Smaller" though by itself! Even to Bogdan..

That's interesting... I've never seen it happen. Far as I know, a website can't change the default text size of the browser itself. Can you outline exactly how it occurred?

Just came to WHT one day and it was like that.

Do you have a scrolling wheel mouse?

CTRL + ALT + SCROLL (makes text size larger/smaller)
CTRL + SHIFT + SCROLL (acts like your forward/back browser buttons)

Not that this is what caused it, could have been a mistaken quick key press, but I know this freaked me out once.

I remember the first time I accidentally increased the font size in IE. I think I had to have my dad come and fix it.

Me too. My Dad's 97, and he really gets tee'd when I keep asking him how to use the browser...

Yeah I have a scrolling mouse..maybe that was it! But so weird that it happened to Bogdan at the same time :)

This went off topic..lol

mkaufman, I disagree.

The parallels between browser technology and "The Twilight Zone" grow more striking with each new version... lol.

I agree with etLux's disagreement.

etLux

And I find Chicken's agreement with my disagreement most agreeable.

I find that your agreement with Chicken's agreement...ah, forget it, I'll just get confused.

And, in another cosmic evidence of the cyclicity of all things, this thread has come back to...

Huh?

See how everything works out? You just can't say we veer off topic. :)

I'd be the last one to say we ever, ever, ever "veer" off target; as that implies lack of intention.

It's more like the behavior of a juggernaut, insistent and purposefully attempting to bludgeon its way into the irrelevant and the unrelated.

Never do anything half-way.
