oh no

[jacob perkins]

was there a change to this site (print being much smaller), or is it windows 7.0?

And by the way, if you dont like to see changes...then dont install the windows 7.0.
tell 'um no thanks

[jacob perkins]

my god, I hate this. have to lean forward and squint to read

tell me its the 7.0. I can remove that.

[jacob perkins]

yep I ilke the old one much better.

You should be able to change your font size. It's likely under View menu.

If you're using IE to browse this site, you can do two things:

Check which version you're running by going to "Help" and then "About Internet Explorer". The pop-up window will say what version the browser is.

To enlarge type on a website (I also have sight challenges so this feature is VERY handy):

Go to "View" and select "Text Size" and then click on the size you want (i.e...medium, large, largest) and the text on the page should magnify.

I have had IE in the past save the text size setting after the browser is closed and then reopened, but lately it hasn't been doing that. And I don't have 7.0. so I'm not sure what gives....maybe some stealth Microsoft update screwed that feature over.

good to see you busy workin hard, shophound

yes I was just thinking that maybe the text size was fixed for me a long time ago. I am showing my ignorance i guess. I need the tech to fix it.

anyway, if you have wndows,then they will want you to put the 7.0 on. They just caught me this morning. It was an IE update, they said it was "safer" and so forth, so I did it. you could check for updates.

The tool bar is different and i hate it, because i cant get rid of it. when you open a new page the tab is at the top not the bottom.I liked the no tool bar look that I used to have

Go to "View" and select "Text Size" and...

there is no view button now!

[jacob perkins]

I found the view button,

now to get rid of the other crap

[jacob perkins]

well I found the tool bar I am used to 'tools-options-view...' the plane jane toolbar.

but while trying to get rid of the other one, I lost it...and cant get any of those buttons back.


restart and see what happens

Man at my age I don't need smaller print. I have to put my steel tape on the ground to read it as it is.

[jacob perkins]

you can remove it if you want,big bird. Thats what it told me,anyway. we'll see.

I guess it aint so bad...got the text sized anyway.And I got the 'file-edit-view...'bar
I just cant figure out how to get rid of that
extra-worthless tool bar.
it's an 1-1/4 inch ! I only need the 3/8

there is a difference bettween opening a new "tab" and a new "window". dont know what that difference is, the tabs hide at the top and the windows hide at bottom.

Q. What is tabbed browsing and how does this make browsing easier for me?
A.Tabbed browsing allows you to manage multiple websites within one browsing window. To create or open tabs in Internet Explorer 7, click on the empty tab on the Toolbar or right-click on any hyperlink in a webpage and choose New Tab. You also can right-click on a tab to refresh each page as an individual tab or refresh all of them as a group, as well as close individual tabs or the entire group.
