Was It Really Necessary To Make The Print Size Smaller?

**Crixus** · 07-03-2012, 05:27 PM

I have accepted change that has come along in my two years of participating on B&B. However, this very recent reduction in the size of the print really stinks. Not all of us have huge display screens. I can't speak for all the "mature" members out there, but it is quite difficult for me to read and I can't believe I'm the only one.

Not a very friendly move. No soup for you.

I hate when that happens!

I haven't noticed any change in font size here, but CBC.CA's font is smaller for me for a few days (public broadcaster trying to save on pixel ink cost??)

Smaller? The font is the same size for me like the first day I visited B&B...

It's probably your browser... You know, you can control that easily, look it up

**Krona Kruiser** · 07-03-2012, 05:39 PM

You can either zoom or select a font size.

B&B has made no change to the print size. Sounds like a screen resolution issue, or perhaps you hit an arrow or your mouse scroll wheel while pressing a control/command/shift button (I forget which).

Hit Ctrl/Cmd and the "+" sign at the same time.

I will take you at your word, sir. I'm apparently losing my mind. It really looks smaller.

Not your mind, your eyesight

If you use Chrome, press CTRL and mouse wheel up.
If you don't, DO! :)

+1 I have not noticed a change in font size.

Just press Ctrl and +. Repeat as needed.

Or, it may be time to upgrade to one of those colour screen laptops they are making now

I hadn't noticed any change, but as the others have said, you can increase screen resolution in your browser easy enough

**SiBurning** · 07-04-2012, 06:49 AM

But then you get scroll bars, and I hate those bars worse than a stale mr. Goodbar.

What is the default anyways?

I do notice some people's posts are at a smaller font size, so maybe the OP has a point.

**gearchow** · 07-04-2012, 12:23 PM

I hate computers.

What is your browser?

If it is IE, the simple way is to hit "ALT" to make the main menu visible, then select "VIEW" and you will see both a ZOOM and a FONT SIZE menu item.
