MyIE2 shows HUGE text in (NEW/IMPROVED) Yahoo Mail

MyIE2 shows HUGE text in (NEW/IMPROVED) Yahoo Mail

The Yahoo Mail opens with EACH WORD about 1 inch TALL letters! This only started AFTER I was FORCED to accept the NEW IMPROVED service yesterday! I CANNOT READ my MAIL...it would take HOURS to scroll thru TWO WORDS per frame, BACK & FORTH!

MY WHOLE WORLD IS DESTROYED!

I AM TOTALLY DISGUSTED!

I LOATHE MSN IE 5, 6 etc...myIE2 was GREAT!

MOZILLA is great, but MyIE2 I loved!

COULD this be a ATTACK on MyIE2 to cause people to return to MSM IE?

Perhaps your IE font got "bumped" to the large size.
Here is a quick way of adjusting it:
If you have a scroll-wheel mouse,
select somewhere is the IE page,
then hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard,
then rotate the wheel on the mouse (I would expect up, but try any direction and watch what happens).

Yes, there are other ways to adjust the size of fonts used on a webpage. This was just one.

While I can't tell if this will fix your issue, they installed Firefox and are back in business.

Best of luck,

Bob

THANK you BOTH...I DID the "myIE2" mouse wheel FONT adjust AND selected SMALLEST on "Yahoo Options..." now it is small enough...
I have MOZILLA 6.??? (i don't remember) It is my MAIN Browser..."myIE2" I LOVE too...BOTH are LIGHTENING FAST compared to MSM IE....and LESS PROBLEMS...constant problems...But I AM FIXED UP!!!
