I am completely stumped on this!

my 17mo old hit some buttons on my keyboard and now ONLY THIS SITE is now at a smaller scale on my monitor. Every other site is fine. I can barely see the text i am typing

I have tried hitting all kinds of button in hope to reverse what he did but no luck!

any help w/ this will be greatly appreciated

'ctrl + Scrolling' zooms webpages in/out in most browsers. Give that a shot.

What browser/OS are you using?

that did it! I never knew that trick, thanks so much for your help!

I must have been scrolling down when he hit the ctrl button

I use Firefox BTW

When my nephew was around that age he'd always sneak into my room and just randomly push buttons on the keyboard, he seemed to have a preference for the volume mute button though. :lol:

For what it's worth, CTRL 0 will reset the zoom in Firefox.

Which was pretty much what my nephew was doing. He kept it up for a few months actually, i'd walk in and find him standing at the table (it's quite a tall table) sometimes with his hand on the mouse moving it around. He was just copying me because he'd see me on the computer the whole time, and the worst thing he ever did was open up about 50 browser windows (I had a Microsoft keyboard with 5 favourite buttons, he held one down ...)

You can't get mad when they do it, because the curiosity is just so damn cute. :lol:
