Ok, I don't know what it is, but on this computer (I'm at home in San Jose for a few days), there's an issue with the size of text on most sites (ESPN, Yahoo, here...basically the only sites I've tried :)). If I change the 'text size' option under the View menu, it doesn't affect it at all...any ideas?

They use style sheets. Your browser might not be able to change the style sheet sizes. Can you do me a favor, go to this site http://www.simrc.net/wfa and tell me if any of the sizes of the fonts change when you enlarge the text?

Checking now EagleEye.
Edit - Yeah, it changes the sizes of the headings. Not much else though.

Yeah, then it's a css issue I think.

Dola, I do concur with Yabanci. I use Mozilla FireFox myself and it works very well.

Vince, if you have IE and use a scroll mouse, try holding down the Ctrl key and scrolling up or down with the wheel, see if that makes a difference.

Grrr, nothing Josh. Thanks for the idea though. I'll be back in town tomorrow night, so I won't have to put up with it for much longer, I guess. Frustrating that I can't fix it though...I hate not being able to fix a problem.

If you are using IE 6, in addition to changing "text sixe", go to Tools/Internet Options/Accessibility and click on "Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages". That will take care of the problem.

Nice...thanks jfgrauer. It still looks weird, but definitely better.
