I feel really stupid asking this, but all of a sudden, everything has shrunk!  I am not very computer savvy, so I don't know if I've accidentally hit the secret shrink key, but while everything on the site looks pretty much the same, it's just all now so tiny.  How do I get it back to the size it used to be?  Thanks.  Oh, and the font looks different.

What internet browser are you using? Does it look this way for all sites? If you're using Internet Explorer, look at the bottom right hand corner and it should say a percentage (probably <100% since it's smaller). Put that on 100%.

If you're on a different browser, let me know. :)

Oh, thanks!  Yeah, all other sites look smaller, and I do use Internet Explorer so obviously I've accidentally done something.  I'm not sure where in the bottom right hand corner I should be looking, though, to change it back to 100%.  What should I be doing?

What version of Windows do you have?

Try the top of the window go to View > Zoom?

A window may pop up. Set it to 100%.


I'm on a Macintosh, so I'm doing this from memory. :P You also might have a different version than my previous computer.

Sometimes holding CTRL and pressing the plus or minus key will also adjust the screen size.

I think I held the CTRL key down by accident, and pressed something else by accident, and my world shrunk.  LOL!

If you really want to screw with someone (such as a co-worker) hold down the CTRL and ALT keys and simultaneously one of the left/right arrows.

It never fails to produce the effect you'd expect when you do that.  ;D

(Oh, and to fix it just press Ctrl-Alt-Up Arrow.)

I'm bugged because I can't remember the rest of the song about Alice! I remember seeing Grace Slick sing it in SF when I was young.

Thanks for the info on how to fix the screen in IE. I never noticed the lower right corner % button. Good to know.

WHITE RABBIT LYRICS - JEFFERSON AIRPLANE

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call to
Call Alice
When she was just small

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the doormouse said;
"Feed YOUR HEAD...
Feed your head"

Gotta go into the settings to flip the screen! I'm on Mac too! It was my "dream" given to me by the Dream Factory of Kansas City. Then I got an iPad after I presented a speech (donated by an anonymous donator)
