Gents,
I wonder if any of you could help.
My issue is that the text on TH site is so tiny that it is only with extreme difficulty that I can read the various postings. It's a serious eye-strainer at best ................... and unreadable at worst.

Only one other website is similarly affected -- the bookie site Expekt.
All other forums and websites are displaying normally.

I have "gone into" Graphic Properties many times and reset the normal display settings, but to no avail. TalkingHorses (and Expekt) still remain infinitessimally small.

This originally happened about two weeks ago when I was scrolling down the TH page using the wheel on the mouse instead of the scrolling bar at the side of the page. The page got larger if I scrolled upwards and smaller when I scrolled downwards. It has subsequently stayed at the smallest font setting ever since.

I'm not sure if the above has made any sense?
I 'm completely frustrated with the situation, and would be hugely grateful for any advice.

Thanks in anticipation for any assistance you might offer.

EDIT > Apologies, I have posted this in the wrong sub-forum ................... should of course have been in Chit-Chat.
If a moderator could move, perhaps ?

Fantastico.
That sorted it instantaneously.

You're a top man, Mr Granger.

Very many thanks indeed for that. :)
 
:lol:

I love to learn new pc stuff all the time - what does Control and + 'mean', please? I tried it just now and it didn't change anything, although I would quite like to find 'Graphic Properties' - do we know where that's located on Winders XP, please? The not-quite-new Samsung delivers a very fine sans serif which isn't very solid-looking and until I buy some Hubble-strength specs, I could make reading sites easier if I could adjust their font strength - not so much their size, but their solidity. As in bold, but for viewing, not typing, if that's poss? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
 
Kri, I'm postulating that for Control and + to work, there has to be something there in the first place for it to fix.
In my case it was an excruciatingly tiny text size on TalkingHorses. (You know these nerds who spend 37 years writing the entire bible on the back of a postage stamp which can only be read with the assistance of an electron microscope -- well, that's the way TH was displaying for me).

In Windows, Graphic Properties can be accessed by clicking on the icon that looks like a monitor in the bottom RHS of the clearscreen desktop with no windows open.

Cheers, chaps. Granger, my browser is Mozilla Firefox, which was put on for me by the techie in the shop (not £&*%!"£+* Currys!) where I bought this Samsung laptop. I pressed the Control and plus sign together a few times but it did nowt for the font, I'm afraid. I'd kinda like to 'thicken' the current font I've got, rather than just go bigger, but maybe I'll have to go bigger anyway if I can't make the present one a bit darker. Don't really want to read it all in Bold, but....
 
Try this Krizon

Open firefox

Click on the firefox button and go to tools and options

Then click on content

You will see an option for fonts and colours

Change them to whatever you desire

That should do it
