Interesting PC key function discovery.

If you have a wheel mouse and it is set as it's defaulted use of scrolling...then hold down your CTRL button and spin the wheel and the page font increases or decreases instantly depending on the direction you spin it. Woo!

You can also hold the the shift key while using the scroll button to go back to the previous page (rotate button towards you, or 'down') or go forward by scrolling 'up'.
Found that out ages ago... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

And I thought that was some kind of bug when both problems happened some time ago. Man...
THX, dudes!

Thanks! I had no clue about that, but that will help immensely (I despise having to constantly click back).

If you have your mouse arrow over a link, you can do that and it acts as a click.

So are you saying that your youngest is already showing signs of hacker-like qualities? That's too bad, Miss Stormy M.
