Rentboy: Bigger Font?

[Doe Be Doe]

Since last night Rentboy has been loading in a much larger font making it difficult to see the whole page. Maybe it's not a larger font, but a zoomed in look. Anyone else notice this? Other sites are normal.

I haven't noticed it. Do me a favor and try opening it in a different browser (IE instead of Firefox, for example). See if you still have the problem. I notice that if I accidentally increase the font of a site (by holding ctrl and shift and hitting the + key) that site remains in a huge font but others I navigate to don't. Even when I go back to the original site, it still appears huge.

 

Rentboy also has problems when individual ads mess with the font by putting html code in the text but forget to put an "end tag" to reset it. So if I mean to make the font in my profile huge but forget to reset it at the end of my ad, the whole page now loads super size.

 

In either case, I think you can shrink the font (in Firefox at least) by hitting ctrl and - . Again, this seems to hold the font size only for that site.

 

Let me know what happens.

I am tired of the Rentboy "jerkiness" when I try to scroll down a ad to look at all the posted pics. I thought it was my old computer but it does it on others I have tried. Anyone else have this problem??

The bad part of this is it's pretty easy to "set" a site to a larger font without realizing you're doing it. If you have a wheel mouse, CTRL-Wheel scrolls the font size up/down, and some people have an uncanny knack for accidentally hitting CTRL while scrolling up and down a page.

I use Mozilla and Rentboy is a real pain. Proabbly somehting wiht my machine...that a $200 serice call could fix. But I will save that $200 for "something else" more enjoyable.

Deej, in Firefox for Mac, under menu item, View, I have:

Will that work on Firefox for Windows, too?

Yes.

Zooming out helps. Should have known to try that first. Thanks.
