It may be something that I have done in error, but lately, the whole forum is appearing in a far smaller font that is difficult to read. 

 

It is only the forum that seems to be affected as the main Autosport web site remains OK, as do all the other websites that I have visited.  Can anyone advise how to rectify this?  I am assuming it was not a change to the forum site as would be a very retrograde "improvement".  Is there some Settings option that I should visit - I can't find one.   I have tried clearing caches etc to no avail.

You have probably accidentally reduced the magnification of the site by pressing the Ctrl and minus keys simultaneously, which is a setting stored in your browser's memory. Try pressing Ctrl and plus simultaneously!

 

The main Autosport site and the forum are hosted on different servers, so that's why it only affects the forum.

Ahh hah!  Yes, that has worked. I have never come across that one before.

 

You, Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar and I wish you every success and happiness for 2025.  Thank you.

(The fact that this actually works is brilliant from an accessibility standpoint. Although I've never been sure what the use case is for reading a website at, say, 50% zoom.)

Indeed.

 

Maybe to look at giant fixed-width embedded images?

I'm always doing it by mistake because it also works with Ctrl+mouse wheel.

ctrl-zero resets to 100%.

I have this forum on 125%.

You can get medication for this, I've heard.

I use it all the time, not at 50% but there's loads of websites that are just too big and I reduce it to 90%
