    Damn Font in Internet Explorer

    For some reason, my font on this forum for all the posts, threads, words, EVERYTHING got bigger and bolder. The wierd thing is is that i haven't messed around with any settings... Does anyone know how to change my font for this forum? When i go on another forum, its the same thing, however if i go to a normal website, my font stays normal.

    You can change the font size in View->'Text size'.
    And you can change the Font type in Tools->'internet options'->Fonts.

        I can't thank you enough khp, that really made my day. I tried changing the font from the desktop->properties, but that was only for windows that pop up. Anyway, your view->text size worked. I set it to medium, how it was before, and everything's ok now Still don't know why it changed on this forum, oh well, thanks again

          This has happened to me too in the past - must be some keyboard shortcut or something that triggers the change.

          If a website uses stylesheets only to specify fonts (and quite a lot of them do, including the rest of Digital Digest), then the change text size option in IE won't work. This forum uses stylesheets, but not for all the text, so this is perhaps why text sizes only changed on this forum, but not on other sites.

            Might be a keyboard shortcut indeed, and as for the stylesheets, i guess a lot of forums use them too, because the font changed on forums only, websites were fine, apart from digital-digest. Thanks for explaining

              Key Board shortcut to fix that problem in IE

              Hold CTRL and roll your Wheel on your mouse. it enlarges and shrinks text on pages

                  sorry I wrote that wrong and had to edit

                  hold down ctrl and just move your wheel on your mouse back and forth . that changes the text size
