    Can someone help me please? I have a laptop and must have hit some shortcut that makes this page too large for my screen so I have to

    scroll over to read posts. Same thing happened with one of my email accounts and I don't know how to fix it. Thanks much!

    CTRL+ and CTRL- will adjust zoom in some browsers. The other thing that can happen is F11 makes the browsers full screen and hides the chrome

    Sometimes the scroll wheel will do it too. If you have the CTRL key pressed by accident, or stuck, and scroll the mouse wheel, it will zoom in or out. Try pressing the CTRL key and scrolling the wheel on your mouse.

    If it moves when your mouse pointer hits the edge of the screen, it's definitely some built-in "zoom" capability. Do you have a "function" key (usually "Fn") ? If hte Fn key is printed in a different color, look for a pair of symbols of the same color on a pair of keys somewhere else on the keyboard, one with a plus sign (+) and one with a minus (-). Then try pressing Fn key and the minus key at the same time, and see if it zooms "out".
