Hey. I ned some help with this. Since last night, my Immeritus's gone wonky. The Debate announcement, the 'Who's online' list and some of they users' siggies appear huge on my screen. I asked around and people told me it's probably just my computer acting out but I'd still want to see this solved and I have no idea how to fix it.



My best guess is that maybe it doesn't recognize the font in which that stuff's written due to its utter stupidity. But maybe it's not that at all. Has anybody else experienced stuff like this?



I'll enclose a pic, so that you get a better idea. (Don't mind the pic's quality, my MS Paint's always been vengeful for one reason or another.) My Windows version is 98SE and the Internet Explorer is 6.0.

Siri to the rescue!!



I totally did the same thing a few months ago and flipped out. Now, there are two ways to solve this. One, hold down Ctrl and use your scrolly wheel on the mouse to make it smaller by scrolling down. The other is to go to View (on Internet Explorer), then hit Text Size. Flip it around til it's normal.



I have to hold control to allow pop up boxes, so occasionally the scrolly wheel gets caught up in the act too. Imagine my surprise when the text was so small I couldn't read a thing!

Yay! It worked!



Oh, thank you, thank you. The letters were starting to poke my eyes out. I have no idea how that got messed up in the first place, but my best hunch is that it has something to do with mom. Heh. Conspiracy!

Hmm... Me too I have had that size of writing! I never bothered me but seen as it's not normal I'll try and change it.



It's funny, I never noticed it wasn't normal!

No way...
