Forum font size settings.

Probably a dumb question:

How do I increase the font size for this forum? It's shrunk,but only here.Other forums are just dandy as is the font size generally on this PC.

Try pressing CTRL and "+" key together. It might zoom out your page and increase the font.

Check your browser settings pad. I have changed my Google Chrome settings Web Font Medium (to 10point Font) Go to -> Tools ->Options->Under the Hood-> Web Content ->Customize Fonts.

I am sure that all browsers have this but my default is Google Chrome.

Some sites do not render well with all browsers and occasionally rears its ugly head. MyBB is notorious for displaying a "shrunk" look at certain times. I had worked with PHP for a while and it is very sensitive to how browsers apply and render HTML standards.

PHP has nothing to do with it. How a web browser displays content is entirely down to HTML / CSS.

I have a management site on one of my Cisco devices that will not render if the browser is set on >105% scale. I need to make it 100% or it will not display at all.
Best regards,
