Calling All Computer Nerds

[Gustav 6,417]

Hi! I have a boomer question.

 

At some point today, everyone's profile pictures on the forum started appearing smaller to me. So did the like button, and so did the edit bar at the top of my text box (the bold/italic/underline buttons and such). Sigs are smaller too! Nobody else saw this happen with their accounts, so I'm assuming it's a me thing. I have a very vague idea as to how this might have happened, but I don't actually know and I'd like to get things back the way they were if possible.

 

First: I'm on Mac and I apologize for that.

 

Second: I did a lot of pasting as plain text (command-option-shift-v on Mac) for my article today. Along the way, I know I hit a few wrong buttons. At one point, I mashed command-option-shift-n because I'm an idiot, and that didn't seem to do anything. I also hit command-option-shift-+ at one point, which made all my text bigger (I figured out that command-option-shift-minus reverses this). It was about this time that things went small. I don't know if it was exactly at this time, but it may have been.

 

Could the zooming thing have messed something up? Is there some command-option-shift shortcut I don't know about that I pressed by accident? Or is the forum just messing with me? This is probably a stupid question, but the weird sizes are messing with me and I'd rather not have them keep messing with me.

Looks good to me but yeah I've had my zoom settings messed up before and everything was miniature

I duno if it's a chrome specific or windows specific but you can hit ctrl+0 to take it back to the default zoom level.  You might try command+0 or whatever that one key on mac is that does stuff.

THIS WORKED! Thank you, that was easier than I thought.

 

No idea what I did to change it but we are back in business.

Im not sure what commands are like on mac, but in windows zoom in is ctrl/+ and zoom out is ctrl/-  and to go back to default is ctrl/0

 

my guess is while you were copying and pasting things you accidently input a command to zoom out by mistake, we've all done it before!  oh or alternatively if you hold ctrl and use your scroll wheel on your mouse that will also mess with zooming.

You were zoomed in…? I thought of that as a silly joke before reading the responses… alright, alright. Time to find Gustav a home now..

Yeah, but I know how to zoom in and out with the keys and one way was too big and the other was too small. Maybe I managed to scroll a bit, I don't know.

 

This is why I don't do computers.
