It has been changing the font size on webpages. I fixed it once but now it
changed again and for some odd reason I can't fix it back. Going to search
google but any thoughts would be appreciated. It is IE/Avant of course. :p

And it gets weirder... it seems to be only my sites having the problem???
even where the font is specified it is being ignored...?

*pulls out hair* it is things like this that make me want to pull apart my
modem.

Could it be your Browser settings colliding with the CSS?

/not sure bout Avant. Running the Fox here.

Ok but what caused this...? It was fine last week and the month before and
the month before...
Maybe I should try a different browser and see what happens but both IE and
Avant show
the same.

I did switch to Firefox just to check but I don't want to keep it.
I noticed one thing... the language script is set to Latin Based
and I could swear it used to be Western like Firefox is but it seems
there is no selection for 'western' now in Avant or IE...

It's just an IE shell.

Okay I used google and got this figured out...
Side note: Even google looked way funny...

anyway the thing that happened was that the view>Font size had become set to
largest...
So I turned it back to medium and there it was...
Now if I can just remember that the next time it happens...
I wish I knew WHY it happened though. Not knowing why it happened bugs me.

Deja vu?

Thought so ;)

Tip: Write down the problem and solution on a post-it and stick it near
your monitor so you can see it next time the problem arises :)

Post-its always lose their stickiness about 2 days before you needed
to read them.

Hmm don't think so... I am old fashioned and I don't use the scroller ;)
Suppose maybe my boy could have been the culprit though *grin*
Next time I will just search google again if I don't remember this incident
LOL.

Good idea. Otherwise when you look in the mirror you'll think "hmm...
what does that say?" and rip the post-it off your head to read it.

Then it would be a pointy, not a sticky.
