It's not so much of a Science question as a query of a computer illiterate:redface:, but in last days everything PF became unpleasantly l a r g e on the screen which has become wider than I like and the type is heavy :grumpy:; this happens only with PF no other forum or site.

What happened? No, don't tell me, tell me how I can get it back like it was before please. :smile:

My personal opinion, of course, is to trash that Windows-burner and get a Mac.
