Oh how strange? We don't know of any changes from our side of things. If you see it again, would you be kind enough to take a screen grab and mail it into us please?

It's weird. Been doing it for a few days. It's almost like a style sheet error. Just the font is different. More, er, blocky?

yy I get this. Thought I needed to lay off the drugs.

PinotScreechio · 25/10/2011 16:18

I get this too, I thought it was my laptop groaning under the weight of my wit Hmm

It gets smaller, the font that is, then refreshes itself and shows normally.

I think DamianTech has set it up as a leaving gift heh heh

ShowOfHands · 25/10/2011 18:09

Screen grabbed and sent.

bigTillyMint · 25/10/2011 18:11

I thought it was something to do with FIL's laptop!

AnyPhantomFucker · 25/10/2011 18:13

This has been happening for me too

the font goes small on accasion then snaps back to normal

on occasion it goes bold

can't see any pattern to it

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.

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

ShowOfHands · 25/10/2011 18:22

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

On the list of things wot I learnt on MN.

LemonPeel · 25/10/2011 20:18

ShowOfHands · 25/10/2011 20:27

Try pressing ctrl and + together.

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!!

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

RebeccaMumsnet · 25/10/2011 21:33

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

CardyMow · 26/10/2011 01:44

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!
