Assuming you are using Internet Explorer, does it get better if you go to View->Text Size and select a smaller size?

 

[Bballkingsrock]

Yup, because it worked!! Thank you so much!! You are very good at computers I can guess. Thanks again!

Hey bball in your signature (if you wanted to welcome all the new Kings players you could put in Jamal Sampson.)

You don't have 2 just tryin to help.

Yeah, I would put him and Ronnie Price but I they might go to the NBDL league and these guys are going to do much more than them. Plus, it will look long and not pretty when I do that.

Thanks anyway!

There's probably some hot key that you accidentally pressed that changed the size (I don't know what that is in Internet Explorer, since I primarily use Firefox ). Glad it worked.

btw, if you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, you can hold down ctrl and then scroll up or down to change the size. works in either firefox or IE.

Control + MouseWheel. People do that accidentally all the time. It's not exclusive to IE though, Firefox should do the same thing. It's a handy feature for visually impared.

Yeah, I was thinking that was it, but when I opened up IE to test it my startup page didn't have any text to change size (all images). I was too lazy to go to another page.

Thanks.

Yeah, that's because not all pages are coded to accessibility standards (this forum isn't for example). Standards aren't as standard as one would think. But if you try it on a main-stream site where accissibility is important like yahoo or msn.com... you get a better sense of how it's supposed to work.

Ha! I just happened to open up IE this morning and go to a page with all text. It was tiny! Of course, it was from all the messing with the scroll button I did yesterday.

Maybe this is only funny to me...
