I'm new to computers. I was typing here and who knows what I pushed everything got tiny. I went up later and hit the enlarge thing beside of the x in the right hand corner. That helped a little. But things seem to b stuck on tiny mode. It is only here at PC that all is tiny.

While I was typing I must have hit the control button (bottom left corner below the left shift) these little weird circles showed up. Who knows what they were or if they are responsible for this. I left PC and tried to see if things were tiny forever. It appears they are. Anyone have any idea how to make things normal again.

I don't know beans either.
Try asking in the forum you use the most, surely someone can help.
Ask them to respond to this thread.
That is, only if you feel comfortable doing so.
This forum doesn't get alot of traffic this time of night.
Good luck.

If it's what I think it is, I don't understand why it would affect only this site.

What happens when you click on
View > Zoom > Zoom In
a few times? That's where the controls for text size are in Firefox, anyway. If you're using a different browser you should have something similar but it may not be in exactly the same place.

On the computer I'm using, pressing Ctrl and rotating the scroll wheel on the mouse also changes text size. Once again, this may not work with all browsers (and not everyone even has a scroll-wheel mouse).
Thanks for this!

Those little weird circles rippling from the cursor when pressing control is prompting location of the pointer and can be disabled in mouse options.

Having to do with the size of things, try holding CTRL and slowly moving your mouse-wheel (the middle wheel) forward..

If that doesn't work, hell, just get another browser.
