On my computer, I have to go to tools and then zoom out, to change the fonts size so I can read it. Well, it keeps changing back and I have to do it alot, just so I can see. Anybody have any suggestions?

The text sizes that you see are handled by your browser, so the exact results you get are going to depend partly on what browser you're using. I've been noticing with recent versions of Firefox that if I change the text size for one Psych Central page (for example), all Psych Central pages are affected but not pages at other sites. I seem to remember older versions of Firefox doing it differently.

One shortcut for changing text size is to hold down the Ctrl key and press + or -. Another is to hold down Ctrl and turn the scroll wheel on your mouse. You might also want to compare how different browsers apply your settings and perhaps choose the browser that does it the way you like best.

Each browser will let you change the zoom and font, however, the way you go about doing this will vary across browsers. If you're using Chrome, click on the button that shows 3 horizontal lines -> Settings -> search "zoom". Adjust the zoom and font then close the Settings tab.

An alternative way, which is a bit longer but definitely rewarding is to play with PC's CSS. If you don't know what CSS is, not a problem. In Chrome (this won't work with IE9), go to a thread and right-click in one of the posts then go to Inspect Element. You'll see a lot of code, but you're only interested in the 1 line that says <div class="smallfont">...</div>. Click on it and on the right side of the Inspect Element window is a header labelled Matched CSS Rules. Find the one called .smallfont and click on the link in that box that says style-(bunch of numbers and letters). Under the .smallfont, change the numeric value of the font (be sure to keep the px there after you're done). If you like, you can also disable .smallfont by simply clicking on it under the Matched CSS Rules header.

The second method can be very confusing if you don't know much HTML or CSS, but if you're interested and cant quite figure it out from my description, I'll load up screenshots.
