Default Text Size Gone Small Only On This Site

Any ideas why the text size has reduced on UK Vintage site, probably down to 8 point.

I've checked other sites I use and they are ok.

It may have happened when I was updating some spread sheets where I was reducing the text size there.

Any ideas?

Default Re: Text Size Gone Small Only On This Site

Camtechman, while on this site try changing the 'zoom level' by pressing and holding down the CTRL key (either one) and tapping the + key a couple of times. Does that solve your problem? (if you overshoot past the default setting, hit CTRL and - to go the other way).

On the Chrome browser (which I don't think you use) the browser remembers the zoom level on a by-website basis, so if I hit CTRL and - a couple of times all the text on this website gets smaller, but if I go to other websites I know the text is the usual size.

...then if I come back here the browser remembers the zoom level I chose before and continues to use it on this site.

Maybe your AOL or Internet Explorer browser has a similar feature?

Assuming that you have a scroll mouse, just press and hold down the Ctrl key, and rotate the scroll wheel to display whatever text size you wish.

Goodness me! I never knew that - and yes, it does work here! And with my deteriorating eye-sight, it's a very useful facility.
Works with IrfanView, too.
So thank you, David, for that tip.

Glad the tip was of help. It works in lots of applications - well it does for me! EG, MS Word, Photoshop, PAINT, and so on.

Of course, there are enlarge/reduce options in those programs, but it's just more convenient to be able to use the scroll jobbie, leastways, I think so.
