Title: Problem with the forum page appearance! Post by: ColinMarr on 19 May, 2013, 01:40:25 PM As of the last couple of days I have had a problem with the appearance on screen of the forum pages. At first it looks OK and then when I open up a page all the details (type size and icons) are all shrunk down to be very small and barely discernible. I have looked at all the settings I can and not found any way to restore it. The browser I am using is Chrome. Has anyone else experienced this and can guide me to a fix?

I am using a PC not a MAC. I have just tried using MS Internet Explorer and right now that works fine without the shrinking experience with Chrome. For a whole raft of reasons I much prefer Chrome and would be sad to move away from it. Are there other Chrome users out there who share my problem?

Post by: ColinMarr on 19 May, 2013, 06:22:49 PM Thanks again. Andy has tipped me off that Ctrl + in Chrome does magic things to size, so all is not lost. I am not sure I like Alan's wavy line style! I might just try a system restore to a date of a few days ago and see if that works.

Ctrl + and Ctrl - increase and decrease the font sizes (probably the same on all PC browsers). I use Chrome (actually a very recent convert) and it is by far the best (and quickest) browser on a PC (only in my opinion of course!) Title: Re: Problem with the forum page appearance! Post by: Thotos on 21 May, 2013, 09:59:57 AM Select Settings from the top right hand side (click on the 3 little horizontal lines).
Go to the bottom of the settings page and select Show Advanced Settings. Go to Web Content and select Font Size= Medium and Page Zoom=100% If you've applied a Theme to Chrome and that's what's messed it up, find the Appearance section in the Settings page and select Reset to Default Theme. Title: Re: Problem with the forum page appearance! Post by: ColinMarr on 21 May, 2013, 02:07:48 PM Thanks again chaps! What with Ctrl+, system restore and now the delights of fiddling with Chrome advanced settings I feel quite exhausted and in need of a lie-down. The good news is that it’s all working as it should, even if I am not.
