Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo ... am I in the Twilight Zone?

What the heck? Was there or was there not a post in the U.S. forum a few minutes ago entitled "Aaarrrggghhh" (sp)?, referencing an error message on Fodors? I replied to the message, because I was experiencing a different kind of glitch, and POOF!, the "Aaarrrggghhh" message has disappeared. It's not in the U.S. forum, and I can't find it under my screen name either. So where did it go? (Please don't tell me no one else has seen it.)

Anyway, my "glitch" is that, since yesterday, all of the posts have become GIANT SIZE! (Speaking in printers' terminology, all the messages have grown roughly from 12-point to 18-point type.) Not that I'm complaining ... Nooooooo ... now I can read them without my glasses! Has this happened to anyone else, or am I just lucky?

Don't know about the super-sizing, but it looks like Fodors deleted all the complainer threads when they fixed the error problem we've been experiencing all day. I guess they thought we had enough.

Super sizing happened to me once and we turned off the computer and started over, it was ok then.
I saw that Aaarrgghh thread and perhaps it has gone because the error thing is gone..Fodors might not want us discussing some glitch that is no longer glitching~ (excuse all the technical terminology)

Thanks, guys. Scarlett, I'm glad to know that someone else saw the "Aaarrgghh" message. Fodors must have deleted it at the same time I was sending my reply. Also, I love the Super-Sizing. Wish I knew what caused it. I would keep it that way all the time.

Many browsers offer you a choice to "Zoom in" on text or therwise make it larger all the time. In Internet Explorer, go to the "View" menu and choose "Text zoom."

Anonymous: You may have solved the mystery for me. I clicked on View and Text Size, and found it was set on "Largest". Probably one of the cats walked across the keyboard and changed the setting. Cool. You learn something new every day!

Then it was the cat all the time ???
He is gone now, maybe that is why the computer is so boring
