I posted this message before somewhere, and Dave responded that he hadn't heard such a complaint. I couldn't find that post in my "Your posts" section, so I'm starting over. I've taken two pictures of what it looks like on my computer. No other web site shows up this small. I'm running I.E. 9 at 130% resolution. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there anything I can do about it?

TIA
LAS

Wow that is pretty small LAS. I don't see it that small on my computer. This site shows the same as the rest of the sites I go to.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I use Firefox.

That screenshot sure does help to show the situation. I've never seen it look like that. I also use Firefox and occasionally Chrome.

I made a small change based on your screenshot and I'll be curious to know if that helps.

I have trouble reading on some sites even with glasses on and have gotten good at taking advantage of my touchpad enlarging feature. You can also press the "ctrl" key and the plus or minus sign to enlarge and decrease text on any page. It's gotten to be I do it automatically so I don't even know what the standard text size is on ATP or any other.

No, whatever you did, Dave, it didn't change. I did try it using Chrome, and didn't have the problem there.

LAS- are you able to enlarge the text using Ctrl and the + to achieve the size you desire?

As with Cheryl, I do that automatically with almost every site I visit.

I also use the touch pad feature and (ctrl & +). I use Chrome and the text is normal size, use of touch pad feature is due to eye sight problems.

As I mentioned, Chrome shows it OK. But I always use IE, so that's a nuisance. When I use ctrl/+ in IE, the small areas grow in font size, but narrow in area, so I end up with 2 or 3 words on a line.

IE is a very unprotected, buggy and virus prone browser(plz don't quote me). Least secure of the lot. Go for Firefox or Chrome plus your IE may already be compromised.
