Default Bigger text?

Hello All,

I don't know if it was accidental or intentional, but this morning the text size here on YORF is slightly but noticeably larger, and I like the change!

It looks the same to me.

Hold down the CTRL button and move your scroll button on the mouse. It changes the font size in Firefox and Chromium. Probably works on IE too.

You most likely did that accidentally and didn't notice at the time.

No, it doesn't make any difference. (I never use the scroll knob because it's in such a location that I can't bend either adjacent finger to reach it without great effort.)

Most people who accidentally change text size, accidentally drag their hand across the scroll button while their other hand is resting on the CRTL button.

You can also hold down CTRL and push the + or - key to do the same thing, BTW.

If your text size doesn't change using either method, something is screwy about your computer. I never use IE, but I looked it up and text size can be changed using the same methods as Firefox and Chromium.

The text size looks the same to me as well. But if anyone is having difficulty reading YORF's text at its default size, using their browser's zoom function (as you have described) is an easy fix. (That's why they all include it.) My laptop has a multi-touch track pad and no scroll wheel. I inadvertently zoom the screen in or out sometimes when I am trying to move the cursor from one side of the screen to the other. Just as with other inadvertent actions that are triggered by a careless flick or gesture, I'm not really sure what I do to invoke it, but I just hit Control-0 to bring it back to default. Firefox apparently has a number of actions that can be invoked by making certain moves on the trackpad. I wish I knew what those gestures were so that I could use them deliberately for a change.
