Im havin a size issue on the site, when I go on some pages with images the images cover most of the writing and the letters are bigger than normal. I think it might be my computer though because most of the other websites I go on the writing is big. Does any1 know how to make the words smaller???

If you are using IE7, there is a Magnifying Glass with a + sign, and 100%. Maybe you changed the zoom. It is at the bottom right corner, just above the time.

It could be your browser. Maybe it is your options, or preferences? Maybe troubleshoot it, or reinstall it? I'm not a PC guru though, so maybe someone else might have some advice.

http://mozilla.org/firefox

Start there if you're not using firefox already.

Then install the NoScript and Flashblock plugins. That will give you safe browsing and you'll never get another popup or flash advertisement again, unless you want them

I would also suggest Mouse Gestures for more ease in page navigation, but it's totally optional. The NoScript and Flashblock are fantastic and should be installed right away though, IMHO.

On my mac I can change the font of everything that is ever on my screen. That includes things like word documents and browsers. I don't know if there is such an option on a Pc but it might be in the system preferences. You might also want to try a different browser like IE7, Firefox, Opera, ect.

Doh..., I knew there was something, but couldn't find it yesterday. I went to tools, then internet options in the drop down. I even checked "View", which was my first choice, but missed it. In the View tab, there is "Text Size", which should allow you to adjust the size of your text. Now as for the images taking up most of the page, that is hard to guess. It could also be a virus, maybe run a virus check.

There are a lot of good guesses and things to check, but I always go back to what are the basics of your computer. If I knew what OS, what browser, etc.. you were running; it might be easier for myself and the others who have already posted many possibilities to get down to the nitty gritty of the problem. Asking questions is fine, but providing as much info as you can along with the question is extremely helpful.

I went on system tools but couldnt find the internet view thing. Im on AOL but my web browser wich i normally dont use is MSN.

That it still a little vague, but it may help. Is it still happening? Did you use AOL or MSN? I use IE most of the time myself, not 7 though.

If you can find MY Computer(your computr folder or Icon/Control) a look at the properties option would give good information.

It is either in the system preferences or in one of the tabs in your browser.

File - Edit - View - Favorites - Tools - Help

It is in the View Tab, select View, and you will see Text Size.

If you hold control while scrolling with your mouse wheel, your text will also get resized. This works in both Firefox and the dreadful IE.

When (not if) you get Firefox, make sure you also install Adblock. I am always horrified when using someone else's browser and find out that a site I never saw ads on before is covered in blinking animations.
