The writing is too small on the posts, how do I enlarge it?

[waterfalls]

Bloody kids been at the PC again

All the headings and everything else is ok, its just the post messages that are too small, probably ok for most people but I have terrible eyesight

on the top of explorer toolbar, click view then text code and select

sorry, text SIZE

Oh I dont have a view button to click.

look in the right hand corner where there are 3 boxes, the middle one should have a large square in it. click on that first, they toolbar with the words should appear.

That just shrinks the page, am I being incredibly thick

oh, then it is not what my dd ususally does to my screen when she mucks about with it. sorry. Are you using Explorer as your browser?

errr............... MSN, is that a type of explorer??

If you can't see the view command try bypassing it.

Press the ctrl key and the + key together

Press Ctrl and scroll the wheel on the mouse at the same time; works for me.

err no, MSN is not a browser. A browser (like explorer) is the program you open in order to surf the net. I don't use MSN so can't help there. no wonder i couldn't help

No nothing happens when I do that SaintGeorgeMarple, I thought it was something to do with display in controk panel, but that enlarges heading only.

woooo hoooo, thanks UrsulatheSeawitch, that worked, cheers

Press and hold Ctrl and scroll the mousewheel, give that a go, waterfalls!

Oh sorry, x posted!

It's a great trick, soupdragon taught me, I keep the thread saved in case I forget again

I can stop squinting now

Sniff, sob.

Some of us have old mice. With no wheels, just little zimmer frames.

Although actually it does the same job as CTRL + and CTRL -

Surprised that didn't work waterfalls. You did use the big + key on the right hand side and not the one on the top row of the keyboard didn't you?

I tried Ctrl and + and it came up with an "add to favourites" box, StG.

Maybe that only works when you have a zimmer frame mouse?

Maybe just an IE command.
I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts because I don't like using a mouse anyway. I get really bad RSI otherwise.

Nope, it was aol's own add to favourites. Another variable

Forgot you are on aol. That's a totally different world.
