My cat just sat on the keyboard and everything has gone really BIG. Any suggestions?

Errm, could try clicking the zoom in function in the browser (magnifying glass, bottom right in IE) might just have zoomed in a bit...?

Firefox... atm only half a message box fits on my screen

Which browser?

(I notice a couple of people here said they use Chrome... Thought it was just us geeks tinkering with that at the moment!)

Added - you said before I'd finished posting :D
View -> Zoom -> Reset (ctrl 0)

Chrome ;-) (see, can't even get to the bloomin smilies)

For future reference - control, start and the wheel button on the mouse changes the size of what you see on your screen.

Off to skin the cat

Ah, the dangers of assuming...

ctrl 0 works for Chrome too - and you don't need the start key along with the wheel.

Thanks Peter - I feel like a real numpty now (but I don't feel as bad as the cat will if he does it again)

Nothing to feel numptyish about - *some* of us are supposed to know these things implicitly.

(no sane person would!)

So you pushed something that made your computer go weird and now you're blaming it on your cat? Shame on you! :-p

Honest guv it was the cat! Truly, he sat on the keyboard whilst I was scrolling down the forum. He often sits on the keyboard but never when I've been scrolling before :-O

Bless him.. :-D.....I mean that darn cat! It must be very pesky.

But at the same time kind of adorable :D

While we're on the subject of cats, there's a new Simon's Cat - I think these are some of my favourite vids:

My wee birdy I used to have (Squeaky) used to run all over my keyboard when she wanted attention pressing random buttons as she went.

One day I had just finished a rather HUGE document in notepad or some such and she jumped on a button which brought up the message about saving it... before I could rescue it she also managed to hit the button which said NO and that was it... gone forever!

I shouted at her and she got all upset so I relented and gave her a cuddle :D

S'funny - if my OH or kids had done it there would be hell to pay but when its the cat (whose name is Floozie) well...
