Re: How come every thing is so small??
I think that this a problem on your end, here's how to fix it.
At the top of the screen above the tool bar there is the View menu. Within the view menu there is an option called "Text size", play with that for a little while until you find something that is readable.Founding member of the Kaylee club.

Re: How come every thing is so small??
Note that if you use Mozilla, it's "Text zoom" rather than "Text size." :)
This problem most commonly happens by accidentally holding your control key and spinning the scroll wheel at the same time.

Re: How come every thing is so small??
Just some helpful advice: If you've got a Mac you can use Apple+"+"/-. Just for people who don't have mouses or something. I don't know. Just saying. Only commenting. I'll stop being weird now. Really, I will. Just keeeeepp reading, that's right. Don't stop. My words are always interesting. This is interesting. You like listening to me. Just keep reading. If you stop, nobody will like you. You'll be an outcast from society. You'll live in a garbage dump. This is not boring. The element "Boron" kinda sounds like "boring". Don't worry, this is not "Boron" either. Just very pleasing to read for some reason. I don't know why. I'm getting bored now. But you're not. You will stay interested. You will not stop. Or get depressed because you feel sorry for me being bored. This is not depressing in any way. Keep going, keep reading and you'll get free pudding. MMmmmnnnnnnn... pudding that is free. Yum, pudding sounds kinda good right now. I'll have to leave pretty soon to get some. Just stare at the screen until I get back (yeah right, this is too boring). Keep looking. Okay, you're officially an idiot if you're still reading this. Just kidding, you are just very gullible. You know, gullible is not in the dictionary. Go ahead, look it up. I don't care. I know you'll still read this. Remember, this is not even mildly boring or depressing. This is actually kinda of amusing, or amusant as the French would say. You know I'm taking French right now, or français, oui? Yep, that's what I thought. You don't like French do you? Well, I don't care, it's better than Spanish (espagnol), or German (allemand). It's better than any other language in the whole world. The whole world should speak French. Wouldn't that be so much easier. Then there wouldn't be any wars caused over a simple case of miscommunication. Yeah, I know, this is boring. Go ahead, stop reading, that's when I'll stop writing. I'm not gonna stop. Hah, that;s what I thought, neither are you. Okay, you can stop reading now. Hey, go away! I said to stop reading. Why are you still reading this? Will just piss off? You're really starting to annoy me. I don't care if I'M the one righting, and I also don't that "writing is spelled wrong. That's just how much I don't care. Hey, wait a minute, I'm still writing, and you're still reading! Why are you doing that? That's not nice. Not nice at all. STOP!!! Okay, if you don't stop, I'll have to stop writing, that's right, I'll stop. In your face! I've typing for a long time, huh? Well guess what? I won't stop unless you stop. So stop....now. Why are you still reading? Stop it! Fine I'll just stop typing, then you can't read it anymore, HAH! Bye……… I love you. Will that make you go away? See you later. Bye. Come on. GO AWAY! Bye, final word there. Really it is (DARN IT!). Okay "this" is the last word.
this....“Sometimes, immersed in his books, there would come to him
the awareness of all that he did not know, of all that he had not read;
and the serenity for which he labored was shattered as he realized the
little time he had in life to read so much, to learn what he had to know.”

Re: How come every thing is so small??
I stopped reading that, not boring, was just too annoying to read as it wasn't seperated and spaced out by paragraph breaks.

I really liked that Ctrl+Mouse wheel thing. You learn something new all the time.

ctrl-tab flips through open browser tabs in Mozilla (and I believe Firefox as well).

Re: How come every thing is so small??
If you hold Alt while scrolling, it slows the scroll bar.

Re: How come every thing is so small??
On windows ME (millenium edition) alt-mouse wheel just stops it jumping, not really slowing it down.

And Ctrl-0 (zero) resets the text size...
