Alright guys, I had my pinky on control (I thought it was shift) and I hit a button which made the actually website portion of the website into a teeny tiny section on the left of my screen so that I can't see the words. I don't actually know what button I was actually pressing seeing as I was typing in my normal speed and I was a couple letters later before I could stop my fingers.

As a side note, please excuse any erors, I made, I'm relying on memorizing the keyboard rather then apell checking seeing as I can't actually see what I'm typing haha. I will copy and paste any replies onto a word doucment so I can actually read it haha.

As it turns out, It's actually happening on all websites I'nm going to now, so I'll just have to wait areound here for replies... so please hurry haha.

You zoomed out. If your mouse has a scoll button on it hold ctrl and scroll back and forth till it goes back to normal.

If you have a touchpad hold ctrl and move your finger up and down on the right side of the tocuhpad.

If that doesn't work restart your computer. That generally fixes everything.

Hey Bo, what internet browser are you using? If you're using a Mac you can go command+0 to return it to normal size, otherwise go to the menu bar at the top of the program (this is on both PC and Mac) and go to View and depending on what browser you're using there should be an option for Zoom - you just have to look around to reset it. If there's no reset button, simply keep zooming in using the menu until the website is back to normal size.

Thanks guys, my internet was out for a while, then I was out celebrating for a while, so I didn't get back in time to actually hear your suggestions haha. While my internet was down, I noticed that the display was even small in the "internet explorer cannot display webpage" screen, so I started poking around, and luckily one of my first choices was the page tab, which has a zoom button. So it's fixed now :)

@Killa

Thanks, now I actually know what may have happened when It zoomed out, and I can keep from doing it in the future.

Haha, I have no idea, but I don't have a Mac, I can tell you that much. I'm not exactly a computer person, even though I somehow keep getting volunteered for the ROTC computer team <-<

I should have said JROTC, cuz it's the high school version. Anyway the AFJROTC simply stands for Air Force Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, it's a program for if you want to go into the military later, it normally allows you to enter as an officer if you take it in college as well, and even just the high school version allows you to get a higher pay.
