Is there any way to decrease the number of threads per page in order to increase the size of the print? My eyes are not what they used to be and the print is just too small.

hey Ken, look at your browser settings and try and bump it there. I don't think the amount of threads will do exactly what your looking for. I use firefox / mozilla and have a free add on called "no squint" it helps on those fuzzy eyed mornings for sure.

Thank you for your suggestion, but, Unfortunately, I would not even know how to begin this settings process.
Click to expand...

If you are using the latest and "greatest" version of internet explorer then in the top right of the screen you should see 3 icons (Home, Star and a cog), click the cog and you will find the zoom setting in there. If you are using an older version, look to the bottom right corner of the screen, there maybe a magnifying glass which you can click to zoom.

Regards

Jake.
 
Perfect!! That was way too easy. Thank you very much Jake. Now if I could only get the typing glitch straightened out on this site ... I have to type extremely slow or else it will skip some letters or even omit them altogether +the emoticons won't work at all. Please see an example below.

erfect, that wa way tooeasy

Hmm, that I cannot help you with as it does the same for me. Now that you mentioned that you suffer from the same issue I feel a bit silly as I thought it was my keyboard at fault and have just ordered a new one.
 
That's interesting what you guys mentioned about the slow typing. I have that same problem, but only on my iPhone (even if I'm on wifi). If I'm on a computer, I can type fast. I don't know a whole lot about computers, so I don't know if this helps to explain things, or not.
 
I use my "Ctrl" and my "+/=" keys. Hold Ctrl down and press the += key a few times. Werks for us. Good luck. Oh yea, and then you can shrink it back down by using the "_-" key.

EDIT; Oops, should've read the whole thread. Problem already solved. Typical me, showing up with the hose a week after the fire's already been put out!!!!

If you go to the top of your browser page you should see "view". You an change the size there.
 
In addition to hold the "CTRL" key and using the +/- keys, as Chris said, you can also hold "CTRL" then zoom in and out using the center wheel on the mouse. This also works in the whole MS Office suite and a lot of other applications. One could also reduce the resolution output of the computer to increase the size of everything.
 
Don't know about anyone else but this misspelling thing seems to me to be windows 8.
It sucks! I have the same problem with e-mail. getting new computer with windows 7.
winws 8 hasa ind of its own

I just put my thumb and finger on the screen and spread it out to enlarge. Way too used to the iPad!
 
Hey guys if you have a typing issue, the stuttering letters and mouse see if you are you using wired or wireless keyboard and mice? If so it could be interference from something else running on or near the same frequency. I just had an issue where I had the same thing and it was one of those plug in transformers. Of course I didn't find out till I was on my 3 keyboard & mouse. But I have a fancy new 5ghz keyboard and mouse.
