Darn computers....


Having a nightmare time with this darn computer at the mo, I am having to use firefox because my I.E. seems to be going a little crazy at the mo

Anyway, I cannot or it will not let me chose font or size mostly its being tempremental, so I am taking forever to answer posts, the font it seems to let me have is so small even I cannot read it and I am writing it! I have sat here for over 5 mins trying to get a bigger font, the next post will be the same ~sigh~

Any suggestions ? x

The size you are using now Julie is size 2........... I think the majority of members here use this size and it looks perfectly normal to me on here

Re: Darn computers....


Tom to the rescue! I thought #2 was the default size; I only pick a type size when I want to do something very tiny (#1) or large (#5). It was like that when I used IE, and still is with Firefox....?

Re: Darn computers....


Same here Eileen ........ Sweet's type is a lot bigger than anyone's on Catsey so I assume her default is different to the rest of us

Re: Darn computers....


I'd noticed that Sweet always posted in larger type, but thought she just liked it that way! The size here in Reply is always smaller than when it appears after you submit....odd! Maybe Tom can explain it to us non-geeks!
