Still doing it for me too - and it also means I can't click onto any threads when the font is funny. It is getting to be a pain in fact.

Still doing it.

Oh, I'm glad it's not only me - mines been doing it for a couple of weeks now, tried to screen grab but it flicks back too quickly (apart from a minute ago, but I just sat staring at it thinking 'oh this is taking a long time to go back to the normal size and then realised when it had that I had forgotten to do it) ...oh look kittens...

Thought it was just me - but I've had it for at least a week. Thought I had broken MN so didn't say anything!

Thanks all and SOH for the screen grab (shift + cmd + 4 on a mac)
We have sent it over to Tech, very strange Confused

thanks so much, i have now put font on small and zoom on 100 % and it looks good. i was on a small font with 50% zoom which was tiny. then i went medium with 125% which was mahoosive but now , like goldilocks it is just about right. I just need to get used to the smaller area of keyboard and i have no idea where the apostrophe is so my punctuation is now appalling

hah yes i think i may have done something. this is a new netbook or whatever they call them and am still tring to work stuff out. i have looked at my font settings which were on small so made them medium and now i see what you are saying about the zoom on the toolbar so god knows what i have done now.

last night it was a momentary small then back to size then big and back to size. but i think you are right, this is something i have done myself!!

LemonPeel · 25/10/2011 20:18

GoodAndBluts · 25/10/2011 19:51

shift + PrtSc = screen grab, then c+p into a doc.

On the list of things wot I learnt on MN.

AnyPhantomFucker · 25/10/2011 18:18

htf do you do a screen grab?

I feel like grapping my laptop and throwing it out the window sometimes...not sure that is the same thing

mamandeouisti · 25/10/2011 18:16

Happens here too. Font and size change...but doesn't last long enough to be able to any grabbing...unless you're a technical genius like ShowofHands.
