I just broke something

I just tried to copy some text from a thread. I was in edit mode so I could pick up image tags, but when I copied, I think I accidentally pressed 'small' text at the bottom of the window.

Now EVERYTHING is small - not just that post or that thread, but the whole of Rpol is showing up in small text and I can't fix it.

If I click 'large' I get an error 404.

Help!

Not sure if you are on a phone or a more conventional device; but, the standard answer to all of these problems: put the test in a standard notepad (text editor) file [not word processor] this should strip away most if not all formatting.

Then, close browsers, clear cache, and try again.

Check your browser settings to make sure you didn't change the zoom levels accidentally.  The "small" at the bottom of the edit window is only for the text in that message, it wouldn't effect all of RPoL.  That sort of change is a browser/computer issue.

Everything else is fine. If I use the browser to visit another site, the text is normal size, but when I come back to Rpol, it's small font.

On my current screen, the browser menu headings (File, Edit, View, etc), the Forward Backward arrows and the address bar is all normal size, but everything within Rpol from the box frame logo down, is in small font.

...However, I just clicked the zoom in function, and it's back to normal. That must have been it, Nauthiz, but I never got near the zoom control unless there's a shortcut that I accidentally pressed somewhere near the keys for CTL+C or CTL+V.

Looks like the fact that the mouse was over 'small' at that exact time was just a confusing, coincidental, red herring.

Anyway, problem solved. Thanks both. :)

Zooming in and out while holding Control is simple. It means you accidentally scrolled with the wheel on your mouse. That's the shortcut for zoom, CTL and Mouse Scroll.

Tested and confirmed. Thanks JS, that's the mystery solved, too. :)

Sometimes my computer randomly zooms in/out on its own.  I just attribute it to an accidental mouse move from our NSA overlords friends and move on. ;)
