Forums acting strangely

The typeface is now extra tiny.

Is it just me?

Gatekeeper · October 20, 2003, 01:52

**shrug** The typeface looks like it always does for me.

The problem is at your end of the line, Urban.

Did your browser's zoom level change?

alva · October 20, 2003, 02:29

Mine often changes automatically lately?!

No idea why though, and I do know about the short-cut.

Skanky Burns · October 20, 2003, 02:48

I know in Opera if you hold down ctrl and use the mousewheel it will change your zoom level, as will certain numbers on the numeric pad. Both annoying as hell.

alva · October 20, 2003, 04:24

'control-mouse-wheel" works in IE too.
Very bloody annoying..

My keyboard might getting old though, could be the ctrl is sticking, so each time I scroll my text changes..

Nikolai · October 20, 2003, 04:44

I have no problem with this.

Btw, I didn't know about this ctrl-mouse-wheel thing. You learn something every day!

Not my side, either.

I have no problems at Slashdot and SDMB.

Added: the fortune cookies don't change, just the regular threads and the reply screens. The latter have characters that are too small to see

Skanky Burns · October 20, 2003, 09:02

The problem has to exist on someone's side.

My guess is that, prompted by one too many underlined words that aren't links, UR has finally started to lose his grip on reality.

Maybe they have to readjust the big mirror on the Hubble Telescope again.

Are you into making gratuitous snarky comments?

Hehe I knew you'd enjoy it. I just want to know what comments you made before you edited them.

Urban Ranger · October 22, 2003, 03:22

"DrSpike is a smelly Orc chieftain with a great big hole in his head."

Anyway, the font sizes are still messing up.

I can set the size for the regular page to be bigger, but then the letters on the fortune page become too big.

ixnay · October 22, 2003, 03:26

I've not had any problems at all with font sizes.

Seems normal to me.

Skanky Burns · October 22, 2003, 03:57

Does it do the same thing in different browsers?

For the record, fonts are still fine for me.

Hehe, it like being at a party and making a loud comment you think everyone will agree with. Instead, the party goes silent at the moment and everyone hears, and turns to you horrified. The only sound is that of the tumbleweed doing its thing.

Skanky Burns · October 22, 2003, 09:07

Format.

You stupid orc, I am just reporting what I have been seeing.

DrSpike · October 23, 2003, 04:50

Hehe. So, out of many 'Polytoners it affects only you. You must be special.

Skanky Burns · October 23, 2003, 07:32

Markos added some code the other day.

Code:

if UserID == "Urban Ranger" then
  typeface size--;

Nikolai · October 23, 2003, 07:54

You're sure you didn't do it?

Sarxis · October 24, 2003, 04:38

I accidentally discovered the other day that I can change web font sizes with SHIFT+MouseWheel.

alva · October 24, 2003, 08:19

Are you sure?

Normaly 'Shift+wheel' acts the same as the back and forward button IIRC.
