This is driving me insane.

Hold down the control button and use the little wheel in your mouse. I think filling it down will make it smaller. Let me know if this works.

@chyna No, that isn’t working. :-(
I am using a laptop so pressing Ctrl and trying to scroll down doesn’t work.

Reboot.

Press F11
Or right click and “exit full screen”.

@chyna tried that, it is only Fluther that is stuck in large screen mode.
@Sneki95 Nope, neither of your suggestions worked. F11 controls screen brightness on this unit and right clicking does not give me an exit full screen mode option. It is just this screen, all of my other open tabs are normal.

Well shit….tried re-booting again, nothing. Somebody must know the secret. haha

Is the webpage zoomed in, but everything else on the computer normal? If so, try pressing “ctrl” and the minus-sign button together… or go to your options menu and look for the “zoom” option?

^ this. Or ctrl and 0 to restore to 100% zoom.

Coloma's avatar

@Soubresaut OMG….you did it, I mean I did it at at your suggestion and it worked! I had no idea I could zoom in & out. It was the cat that did it. haha Awesome, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Coloma's avatar

Freaking yay! I couldn’t go on like that much longer in 95 year old blind lady mode. lol

Soubresaut's avatar

Haha yeah! And Mariah’s shortcut is probably even more convenient—gets you back to normal from however the cat zoomed you in/out! (And then to complete the zoom shortcuts, ctrl and the plus-sign button zooms in)

Coloma's avatar

@Soubresaut Yes, this computer is new, only a few months old and I am still adjusting to learning shortcuts on it. Man, this made my day, really! haha

chyna's avatar

^You are easy if that made your day. ~

Coloma's avatar

@chyna Haha, hey, simple victories. :-D

Pussycat didn’t have his specs with him. He needed to zoom so he could read too.
