For some reason the words where I am typing stuff are in tiny, tiny font- and I can't see them without putting my face up to the computer screen. These words here.
I can read the board when others post (if I had time) and it looks the same. Soooooo....
Why is the font where I have to type so tiny now? This is a new problem. It is so tiny it would be funny if it wasn't so much of a problem.
Is anyone else having this happening? Can someone fix it please?

Ok, typing here - normal size - well, at least you've reported it so someone should be on it soon.

TC, can you zoom in with your computer and raise the magnification when you type? Maybe that will help.

- It does seem odd that when typing in one function it shows a far different size, Yet, I've noticed some of that is normal. It takes 5-6 lines in the compose mode to make up about 3-4 lines once posted. So I think the print is just smaller in compose.
still, try this:
There is a key, "control" maybe or another next to it. Then you have your "+" key. On my computer when I hit both, what I see on the page will be enlarged by reasonable increments with each tap of the key combo.
The "-" and "control" shrink it.
For my keypad, "control" is right at the far lower left corner and "+" for all keypads is likely near the upper right corner -

- And you might check your antioxidant intake. I notice my vision is more challenged when I'm taking a break from Berberine. That has been amazing for my vision sharpness. -

Have you tried using "control" and "+" at the same time?
It's not tiny here on my computer.

- Not tiny here. Have you been traveling with Gulliver?
If this is for all websites you visit now, perhaps your computer defaulted. Still, if the control & "+" does not work, go into your control panel and see what the settings are for whatever it calls viewing. -

Thanks for all the responses. You make me laugh too!
And darn it all! Still having the problem. I did try what you all suggested, the control and +/- buttons and no help.
I tried the preferences for Safari and could enlarge everything except where you type.
I even contacted MAC help and they told me what to do and it isn't working at this site.
My guess this- what I am typing now- is about a size 8 font at most, but the rest is now a size 20-24 font. VERY annoying.
Maybe LN for me is now like one of the kids answering machines that cuts mothers off after 2 minutes of talking?
They tell me it cuts off everyone at 2 minutes, but I'm still not sure that isn't a "mother proof" thing they purchased for that specific feature. ~smile~
I just can't strain my eyes more than I was when it was regular size. They are tearing up now.
Any other suggestions or help would be appreciated!
And Maddog- it is a MAC (apple) and I don't have that thing you mentioned. Help me Maddog!

Letters the size of a period at the end of a sentence? Help! That's what I say about ticks!
Do you have aol at all? I call aol tech help all the time - they're in India and the Philippines - they take over my computer and examine what's going on and fix it for me...

Not a new phone for me. Mine is at least 10 years old and doesn't work.
My guess at this point it was some stupid "update" for one of the million things they bug you to update on your computer that I finally had to breakdown and do.
I avoid updates like the plague because somewhere someone may benefit, but I always end up with more problems.
