Are you using IE?

If so check under 'view' and make sure your text size and zoom are set to normal parameters.

Sure you can do similar on other browsers.

I have a little magnifying glass bottom right of the screen set at 100% - but I sometimes catch it and make my screen look stupid.

Thanks

No not on a mac.It's a new computer,but only Mumsnet is tiny,so it must be something on the site? I have logged out and in again etc,but it is still tiny.

CAPITALS TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO READ...

ON A MAC IT IS FOR INDIVIDUAL SITES THAT YOU ADJUST THE SIZE. MAYBE YOUR NEW COMPUTER HAS A SIMILAR FUNCTION. MAYBE TRY THE HANDBOOK OR RING THEIR TECH SUPPORT?

Thanks

Firefox saves the last zoom setting you used for a particular website, so if you managed to change the zoom while on MN it will always go back to that setting for MN,but not for anything else.

Try holding down the Ctrl key & the + key until it looks right, it should then keep the setting.
