Yep i did this and it messed all my pc up!!!! So i changed it back and then it took my over half an hr to get the writing back to normal.

None of those changes should have had any impact on font size or have messed your pc up, with any issue its only knowing facts that helps to sort it out, its a shame that we haven't had more replies saying wether or not the changes fixed the problem, but I guess thats life, some people will only post when they have an issue sad

Well it did. I unticked the box and did a reboot. when it came bk on.. all the writing on the pc and the icons on my desktop were double the size. I didn't know what to do so i reticked it and rebooted again. It didn't change them back so i had to go in chat, which was hard as all the pages no longer fitted my screen, as i could only see half of them and find a nice man who helped me get it all back to normal.
I've also found that when im the forum i can only use the emoticons on the left. I cannot "veiw more emoticons". All this has happened since not being able to get in with the normal link to the chatrooms, i have to use the other that is under the normal box, or the one that you'se made up for us a cpl of weeks back.

The easiest way to change the size of your fonts is to right click your desktop, choose the "Appearance" tab and right down at the bottom there is a drop down list for font sizes. You can choose Normal, Large or Extra Large. Additionally if you click on the "Advanced" button from that same dialogue you have the option to change the font sizes for specific bits of display items e.g. menus. Just click on various bits of the picture to get the item you need or just use the drop down list.
There is a more complicated way of changing font sizes which is to change the DPI of the fonts. This is achieved via the same Display Properties dialogue. Go to the "Settings" tab, then click on the "advanced" button. The first tab of the dialogue that comes up is "general". Halfway down there is a drop down list for selecting a change of DPI. The normal size should be 96 dpi.
As regards the missing additional fonts window. There could be two reasons for that. Either you have a pop-up blocker working (either the one in Internet Explorer or a 3rd party one eg Norton Internet Security or similar. Or the other one is that the pop up window is opening behind the main window instead of in front of it.

Ok... everytime i wanna go in chat i have to use the other link you made to do so... BUT then... when i try and look at a profile when using that link, the profile comes up over the chatroom in the same window... and then i have to close the whole thing and wait 5 mins to get bk in again!!!!!!!!
:x :x :x :x

I am getting this almost everyday now!!!!!!
Apart from today where i have got it twice in the last 15 minutes. I did all the things i was told to do last time and it didn't work for me, instead it messed all my pc settings up and took me ages to get bk to normal.
Since starting to use that other link you gave us to get into chat and getting this problem, i can no longer open the 'View more emoticons' page either. I have posted about this on may occasions but just seem to get ignored.
I didn't have any of these probs in the 3 n half yrs before this thread was 1st opened. It seems the day we couldn't get in chat and a new link was made..back in may... was the start of it all.

I guess there is a sight problem then

24 Jul 2008

Its not a site problem, its most likely a browser setting issue.

25 Jul 2008

I am once again hitting the same prob with the profiles openng over the chatroom and not in a sep window.
I have checked my settings and they are set to..
'always open in a new window'.
I took the advice last time and did what i was told following all the steps. It didn't work.
Can somebody please tell me what i'm suppost to do now if its a browser issue?

What browser do you use ?
If its Firefox set it to open in new tab..
I use Firefox and have no problems in chat at all (when I use chat that is)

25 Jul 2008

Hi,
If you're using IE7.
Tools > Internet Options > Settings button (under the tabs header).
Click on 'Restore Defaults'
Click OK, and OK again.
Close internet explorer FULLY (if you have multiple istances open), infact to be safe restart your computer.
If it still opens up in the same tab after that, its most likely other software thats causing it.
Thanks,
Elliot.

I use IE.
My point is, i never have this problem on anything else. I use dif sites with chatrooms and i don't get it. Everything always opens in seperate windows. I have checked my settings like i said previous. Like i said earlier, this hadn't happened all the time i have been a member untill that day back in may when the new link was made for the chatroom and it wasn't only me that had to start using that link.
It seems to happen more in a morning.

I have just tried agaain when i logged in chat to open a profile... and guess what? im now waiting 5 mins to get bk in!!
The only way i can do it now is to stay in chat.. open a new window and sign into the forum where i will have to use search engine to view a profile.

Hi
I've just made some adjustments that should help.
Log out, close the chat, go back in and see how you get on now.
Let me know if its a success smile

Thanks,
Elliot.

Just to add;
Before the change, when you go back into chat after leaving it to view a profile, if you hadn't returned via the original chat window and had tried to return via the one you popped out on, opening profiles would have been over the chatroom, it would also explain the 5 minute wait as you would have either still had the original chat window open or it would have been closed.

Elliott....... I Love you kiss

wooohooo the profiles even open a completely new window too now

Since the new link for the chatroom that day...which this thread was origionally based on.. I have never had a new window open for chat. Once i have clicked the chatroom tab and clicked where is says "if you cannot open the charoom click here" (words to that effect) it has always opened over the forum. Possibly thats why the profiles always open over the chat room??
