I signed on today and found the text size was suddenly HUGE. Is this a change you've made or has something changed in my computer? None of my other web sites have changed.....only Bonaire Talk. So what's UP??

Hi, Diana....no changes in my system but I did have this happen to me once and it was my PC. I can't recall what had happened, but I had to go back into my Internet Explorer settings to change it back. Keep checking around and see if that's where you will find your "problem".

I was have "problems" the other day not being able to access BT via my aol connection but it was OK via IE.....couldn't figure out why, but after a while it was OK. Who knows what these PC's do while we are out of the room! LOL. Good luck! Carole

I'm currently on a Mac, so I may not recall the menus names correctly, but try this...in IE (assuming that's what you're using) goto the VIEW menu and look for a subfolder called TEXT SIZE or TEXT ZOOM...in there you can select 100%. I've had it happen before where it gets set by accident to 150% or something odd...but more than likely a configuration issue on your browser as the site looks normal from here.

Thanks, you guys. I fixed the problem. I think what happened was the text size got changed by "accident" (my husband also uses this computer and he was using it before the mysterious change occurred). Bless his heart he's good a lots of things but the computer is not one of them.

Good to hear!

If you use a mouse with a scrolling wheel, and you accidentally hold down the CTRL key while scrolling, I've found that IE reads this as a request to zoom the font. Just a thought. Could have been caused a number of ways.

Thanks for a great explanation of the possible cause of my problem. I'll pass this tip on to my husband. I think this forum is without a doubt the smartest group of people!!!
