All of a sudden, the text I'm seeing on MOL and every other website is larger/bolder than it was. I didn't purposefully change the settings. Can anyone help me return to a smaller font size? Where would those controls be?

along the menu at the top, go to view, then text size, then choose the size you like.

Did you change any of the monitor resolution or display settings recently?

This also happens with the 'scroll wheel' mouse - if you hit and hold CTRL while moving the scroll wheel, the text size on IE will change.

Yup, must have been a scroll wheel accident that did it. Just got a new trackball, and I used the control/scroll thing to fix it.

I'm using AOL, which doesn't have a "view" option on any of the pulldown menus, unless I'm missing something.

Thanks for the help!
