Is it me, or my computer, but has the size of the text changed since yesterday? and why is Page 1 of the Tips Board in double-spacing, with other pages in single-spacing? I came on at 7.30 am this morning for a few minutes (minus the specs) and mentally thought to book an eye-test. However, it's still the same this pm with the specs on!!! Please advise if its me and my old pc or is everyone experiencing it. Thanks Jacqui

Looks OK to me (specs on) Incidentally, do you wear bi focals? I find it gives me a crick in my neck with them, so use separate reading glasses for the computer.

Go into View/Text Size and play around until you are happy.

Hi - old four eyes is back - it's still the same size text as this morning and this afternoon, but I have taken the advice and increased the size of the text (thanks for that). Funny though,yesterday it was OK and today not - do you think it's likely to be my monitor? - technical advice required. It's pretty old and I have just been promised a state of the arts flat screen monitor for my birthday (yummy yummy, and there was I thinking I was getting diamonds!) Still doesn't explain the single line and double-line spacing though - perhaps my "tube" is going as we used to say in black and white telly days (talking 1950's here) Jacqui ps I do wear bifocals actually so used to seeing things with a horizontal line

Jacqui, I've experienced that as well. No ideas why it appears compressed on some occasions, and double spaced (the normal view) on others. Doesn't really bother me though. A.

Thank God Andy - thought the searching had at last got to me! Doesn't bother me know I know I'm not alone and won't necessarily need expensive new specs especially as Crimbo is only a few weeks away! Cheers Jacqui

You do not need an (extra) eye test. My message font has changed but the boarders are still fine. What is Happening? Bob
