    Hey Team, feel so dumb for posting this but it's not an immediately obvious fix.

    My cat walked on my keyboard and now PC (only, it's not every website) comes up HUGE and I can't make it normal again.

    Help! :)

    Get rid of the cat, get a dog instead. Everything will be back to normal.

    Also maybe hit 'command' and '-'

    See that little magnifying glass to the right of the address bar? Click on that to adjust the zoom.

    Lol, this reminds me of when I started broking 11 years ago. Coming from a blue-collar background my computer skills were nonexistent. I thought being able to attach files to an email was super cool at the time.

    Ps. get a dog :)

    Haha, I feel your pain. Got 4 cats and foster kittens. Sometimes quite a few at a time. All our computers end up with strange things happening. One of the kittens used to constantly jump on Hubby's computer & would send it into some kind of formatting mode.
