my font is huge

[sherrie]

The writing is so big on all of the boards, I can't see it all. I thought one of the kids changed the setting on AOL but everything else is fine. Is there something to change to make it smaller. I looked under cp and can't find anything. Thanks, Sherrie

Is it only happening on the DIS? Other websites are fine? Are you using AOL for your browser?

I use Outlook Express for my browser. Sometimes the kids play a game that resets the text size. I go to view on my browser and select text size. Mine is normally set on smaller.

sherrie - this has happened to me too! I also use AOL but I've checked the browser settings and it is set on the smallest font. I've checked the Display settings in Control Panel and it is also set on the smallest font. I've opened an Internet Explorer window and STILL have the huge fonts. It's not just on DIS, it's on many (but not all) websites I frequent. Just all of a sudden one day about 3 weeks ago I logged online and had huge fonts and I can't make them go away!!

My computer is less than 6 months old. It's a Gateway with AMD Athlon 1.1Ghz, 128 Mb RAM, running Windows Me. I'm the only user on this pc so I know none of the settings have been changed.

Sounds like sherrie and I are having a similar problem. (At least I know I'm not alone! )Anybody out there have suggestions for other things to check?!

HELP!!

EDIT: sherrie - I just looked at your screen name and location again after posting this and seem to recall you and I exchanging emails awhile back about something - BWV maybe?! Did we?!

Hi Aprille, My problem is only on the DIS boards. We did exchange emails I believe about the CBR or a problem on the tech boards. i can't remember. Glad to know it is not only me. Strang. While I am typing the font is normal but on the boards it will be veeery big.

sherrie - check out these two links and see if you see a larger font on them too.

Las Vegas Talk message boards
The fonts are not as large there as on DIS but they're still bigger than they use to be! (This is my other hangout. I'm AprilleTX over there.)

Continental Airlines
Click on "fares and reservations" and then do a complete flight search. That's when I really noticed a difference.

I even changed my settings on Windows under Control Panel - Display - Settings - Screen Area from 800x600 pixels to 1024x768 pixels. It makes everything much smaller but the DIS still overflows the screen.

Anybody out there have any suggestions?!
