...increase the font size on forums. I've adjusted the size for the titles and stuff to large, no problem, but it doesn't enlarge anything else.
I'm sure I've done it in the past, but no amount of searching is directing me to this seemingly 'magic button'.
I'm cofuslicated. crash:

Which forum Growler...?

He is a muppet. I could take him to AINSDALE as a witness rubschin:

Which forum Growler...?
All.
The font is too small for me without using me specs, whaicj I won't use because me peepers are perfect in MY opinion. rubschin:
As I say, I've adjusted the font size via aoHELL's tools, but that only increases the size for the titles and stuff.
Is there summat in my control panel that I mess around with?
I've sniffed around but can't find anything relevant so far.
This puter is werkin' so so smoothly now btw. It's like it's new almost! happy088

This has been since the new install has it...?
Try changing the screen resolution first...
Minimise all your windows, right-click on the desktop, select properties, then settings then adjust the screen resolution by sliding the control across to the left...
Let me know how you get on...

Control and mouse wheel increases the size of everything viewable for me whereas Control + just increase the size of everything within the browser's page.

The werds/ letters are only half the size they were before.
I seem to vaugely remember doing this Ctrl and mouse wheel thing last time, but it doesn't work anymore. ::)

Keyboard's gone weird too.
Can't get the pounds sign...#######
The # symbol comes up on the pound key, which isn't available at all anywhere.
The @ symbol is only available on the " key and vice versa
\ comes up on the hash key now too.
Everything else seems to be ok though. All most odd.
Cats revenge? eveilgrin:

You say you have gone into AOL's tool settings but ( I am presume you are using IE ) have you gone into their tool settings
Under the advanced button tab there is a button which sets text size to medium
Worth a try I hope

There should be a keyboard/language tab.
Why didn't yer man set it correctly at installation time?

Click on Regional. That should give you several options one of which will offer Keyboards & Languages. Click on that and you should get "Current Format". If that shows "US" or "Other" then change it to UK by clicking on the down arrow at the end of the box that says "US" and choose the UK option. Having got that in the box then click on "Apply" at the bottom and Robert will instantly become a close male relative.

???????...correct place!

Nice one Snoopio, and thank you. cloud9:
I discoverd that I was running both UK and US systems for some unknown reason. cry:
Deleted US now anyway, bloody Yanks. evil:
That's sorted , but now I'm wondering if I've created another problem.
Windows was prompting me to update some shite. Service pack 3 or summat?
Decided to go ahead, but after 20 minutes of loading its crap, it threw a wobbly and told me it couldn't complete, so press here to undo the updates so far, which I dutifully did.
10 minutes later it comes back and tells me that it couldn't undo everything it had done, and as a consequence Windows XP may no now longer run properly. eeek:
Well thank you very much Mr Microsoft or whoever. I've just spent days sorting this crock of crap out, and now you tell me you've goosed yerself for me, you utter bloody bastard. cussing:
Everything seems ok so far, but has it gubbed itself, and should I be worried like?
I HATE this wretched heap of shit. crash:

Well, I tried ... ;)
