Internet Explorer font size - Tilted Forum Project - TFP - Sexuality, Philosophy and Political Discussion

I recently started using my monitor at 1024 x 768 rather than 800 x 600.

The problem now is that certain pages in Internet Explorer have text too small to read comfortably. In the view->text size menu, IE is always defaulted to 'smaller'. I can manually change this to 'medium' and solve my problem.

For some reason, though, IE will eventually go back to 'smaller'. I can't get IE to default on 'medium'.

Has anybody had this problem before?

I can choose to 'ignore font sizes' in the the 'accessibility' menu, but this causes some pages to look pretty screwy. Oh, and I know somebody will ask, so I'll just say that I'm using IE 6.0.2800.1106

You can change your font sizes in the advanced section of display properties but it's easier just to hold down the control key and scroll to inlarge/reduce your font in explorer
