Don't know where else to look. Tried Google, no luck

Using a Fujitsu laptop running windows 10. In the midst of composing a post a few days ago my floppy fingers hit something they shouldn't have. I think I may have touched the shift, or Ctrl or Fn or whatever with my left little finger and something near the upper right or somewhere in between with a right hand finger. Suddenly all the text shrank to a very tiny font size. Not just what I was entering but also the Welcome , Jump to Forum and everything else.

Even with my glasses on I am having a lot of trouble reading the text.

This happened once before months ago and I have no idea how I reversed it.

It is ONLY on RV.NET. All other sites are normal.

What did I do wrong and how can I fix it?

Two options
First: Does your mouse have a ROLLER wheel?
CTRL and Roll up
Or CTRL +
Either one should increase font size

There is also a drop down menu option but I never know where they hide it.

But CTRL + works in most browsers What you did was try to roll down while hitting control by the way.

Short story: I got in a discussion with an Insurance adjuster at a body shop (not my car, I was just picking up parts) he ask why it took so long for the company to be notified we had recovred his client's stolen jeep.

I told him that was the job of the POLICE, not the tow company.

He ask where it said that... State vehicle code

He ask if I could prove it.. as it happens I had a digital copy in my hand and a printer as well.. a POCKET A-6 Printer

Explanation of A-6.. though not exactly 8.5 x 11 inch is A-4, To get from A-4 to A-6 you first fold the paper in half so it'ws 5.5 by 8.5, then fold it again so it's 4.25 by 5.5, or 1/4 the size of 8.5 x 11,, NOTE these are not EXACAT sizes but as close as we get in the US.

The printer prints 80 characters on a 4.25" line, that is like 2 pica points

He said it was TOO SMALL to read.

The lady behind the counter said "Insurance Companies INVENTED FINE PRINT" and he was forced to admit (I also showed him the PDF on the screen).

NOTE: I still have a copy of the Michigan Vehicle Code on the HD. Along with the Constitution of the US, Declaration of Independence, and Holy Bible Both original and edited versions. The last 3 are for Political reasons but here all I'll say is they are on the HD
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

For Internet explorer, hit the gear button, then point at Zoom:



On Firefox, click the menu button then + or - to adjust font size:

Thanks All! Control + did the trick.

Sorry about the double post. No idea how that happened!

If you're talking about just on this forum, at the lower right of each page is an "Adjust text size" icon.

Hold down the Ctrl key and press the + key a number of times until the desired screen size is displayed.

Yeah
For Firefox I THINK it's ctrl-+ or ctrl-Scroll up.

Press and hold the Ctrl button and scroll up is the easiest fix. If you're using the Chrome browser press and hold Ctrl then press the number zero.
I have other ideas if those don't work.
