Subject: BT thinks I'm blind

I did something wacky a few days ago on my laptop where the view on BT zoomed in quite significantly so that everything appears larger on the screen.  If I log into other computers, the forum displays normally.

So, being a tech geek, I went into my Firefox options and searched for BT cookies and deleted them.  I went back to BT and everything looked great!  Unfortunately, when I restarted FF an hour later, BT was back to the huge size again.  Other sites I visit within the same browsing session appear fine.

What's going on here?  Gremlins?  Practical joke by spying Feds??  Chinese browser doping???

Hold down the CTRL button on your keyboard and use the scroll wheel on your mouse to change the size.

either that or pedal harder

That's part of the problem.  I don't use a mouse with this particular laptop, so I must have somehow activated a keyboard equivalent to Ctrl-scroll.  I'll have to dig around for that.

Thanks,

On some finger pads the far right hand edge can work like a scroll wheel.

On my pad if I pinch my fingers, or "reverse-pinch" it will zoom in and out.

Ctrl 0 ( zero ) will reset it to default, where ctrl - will just zoom out a bit at a time.

Some men in black cycling kit will be visiting you soon. Just go with them quietly.

I had never figured out why my laptop would zoom in and out randomly until I read this. 

Honestly, this is like the best info I've ever got from this site!
