Font size keeps getting smaller
« on: April 10, 2019, 08:36:49 PM »
The size of the print on Internet forums is getting too small to read! How do I stop this and make it big enough to read?

Depending on what browser you're using, you should just be able to zoom in - I always run my browser at 110% zoom so I can make out the text more clearly :)

Yes, I can zoom in but then I am reading through a keyhole! How do I change  browsers on a tablet?

Found it! On this thing there are three horizontal bars to the right which is kind of a menu. In that menu is "text size" and the rest is easy! She did it not me!

I keep my teenager on a retainer for all my computer stuff.
She showed me how to stop taking pix of the fuzz in my pockets, get out of 'safe mode loop', stop launching missiles at Kentucky, etc.

should be able to hold down on the [ctrl] and roll the scrolling wheel on  your mouse, release the [ctrl] button when the font is the size you want it
