I switched from IE to Chrome, on my son’s advice, and I couldn’t be any more pleased

Based on zooming or what?

My problem was exactly the opposite, the fonts in FR were too big and only half of the page would show in the screen. If I zoomed out, the fonts were too small in other websites. After hearing me complain about this, and other “display” issues my son downloaded Chrome on my pc and showed me how it worked without flaws. Now, to be honest, I had used IE for years and it was only during the last year that I had any problems. But Chrome is solved my problems for now, so I am happy.

. On this site all the fonts are very small making it hard to read. Yes I can zoom to make it readable but that makes all the other sites too large. I'm logged in and tried using sidebar config but no joy.

Saturday night and I'm here to help...

Plug in and check your browser. Opera, for example, has a slide bar at the bottom right of the screen to change the page zoom.

Other browesers have options to toggle between several font sizes for easier reading.

I think it's possible with Internet Explorer to accidentally toggle the font size/page zoom by pressing the shift key and some other combination. Check your browser options to set it back.

I’ve used Firefox, Chrome and IE for extended periods of time. each has it’s drawbacks. Was set on Chrome last couple years but got frustrated with pages not loading and trying to find a comfortable view level for all sites.

I have now switched back to IE, finding it to be best overall.

That’s what you get when your site is built on 1993-ish technology.
HTML tags required just bold text. Seriously?
I remember about a year ago, when the FR site crashed. Jim mentioned something at the time about “building a new server”.
Building a server?!? What, you never heard of VMWare?
And don’t even get me started on the lack of a FR mobile app.
This site is hopelessly outdated.

You may have extra toolbars or plugins from adware or spyware. Do a reset of IE. Your Favorites are left alone.

From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanaced> Reset> Reset

From IE toolbar
Tools> Internet Options> Advanaced> Reset> Reset

Switch to firefox.

Absolutely. With multiple tabs, zooming in on one tab will not affect any other tab/website. Easy peasy.
