You know, the text on various sites I view are all different sizes. It's very irritating. Honeycombe8 Nov 2012 #2

It's your browser. Adjust the view until you find the size you like!

My day is going swimmingly!

There is the "text size" in IE in the menu bar...I've tried adjusting that. I change the size in the status bar at the bottom. I've tried "compatability view" (checking it, unchecking it).

I'm unfamiliar with setting up websites, but I'm thinking each site has its own set of parameters, so they will be different, no matter what I do.

Gmail is the weirdest. Morningstar.com has its own weird set of parameters. I have to have the "text size" as "smallest" for it to look right.

DU, though, seems pretty normal to me...except it's larger than the sites that have set into them a smaller type/font.
