Collarme is one.  I can barely read anything.  I've tried changing the font size in my control panel, but that hasn't done anything.  I am so
clueless.  Help.  My eyes hurt.  8(

Status: offline 		go to your toolbar at the top of your browser where you see" File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, Help".  Click on "view".  Click on "text size".  You will see a black dot next to the size of your text for your internet browser.  You will see "largest, large, medium, small, smallest".  Click on the one that you want, usually medium or large is what most people can comfortably see.  Your text should be a little bit more readable now.

What would have made it change on its own since I know that I didn't?

I'm not sure, but I'd check for spyware and run your virus software, just to be on the safe side.

Status: offline 		While you were using the laptop, you may had been using the the touch pad and accidently clicked on the Ctrl key. See on the side of your touchpad, there is an area that works like a up/down arrow, you use it to scroll up and down a page quickly (if you're using a mouse, it usually is like a little wheel, generall between the left and right clicker) if you put your arrow in a blank part of the screen and hit the control key, it will enlarge, or shrink your text. Works on most pages, but not all of them. Hope that makes sense.

Status: offline 		Just a test to see what size this come up .

Added the following...
I tried the view largest option and all that changes is what I input and that <recent posts > at the top that scrolls others recent input. The text I read stays the same

Why is that...any ideas...I could do with a bit bigger text.
