Why is my Twitter page super-magnified, and how do I change it back?

Factual Questions
1

So I’m on Twitter on my laptop and for some reason, reloading, it got into hyper-magnification mode–where the horizontal axis is twice as large as is viewable on screen, and the vertical axis even worse Super huge font, essentially two tweets take up the whole page.

I have no idea how this happened but what’s worse is that I can’t seem to get it back to normal. I logged out and logged back in. I shut down the browser window and opened it back up in another. Nothing’s changed, so I know it’s not the laptop or the browser, but something endemic to my account settings.

I went to their support page and that is normal size, normal font–presumably because it’s a FAQ/prompt page and not one tied to my account. But there was absolutely nothing in their Help function that addressed this at all. I went to the Settings dropdown through every field and nothing applied there either.

I sent them a support tweet (as instructed) but was hoping anyone here might have an answer or suggestion that will address this problem sooner than their customer service will.

Thanks for any assistance! :slight_smile:

Press Cntrl+0. (Hold down the control key and press 0 [zero] whilst on the Twitter page in your browser. This resets the zoom for that page to the default value.)

Ta-Da! I’m a computer dummy so didn’t know this shortcut. Thanks so much!

Just to clarify: it was your browser, not Twitter. That’s why it wasn’t in their help docs.

You probably accidentally moved your mousewheel while holding down CTRL. That’s the shortcut for zooming in and out.

You can zoom most any webpage by using CTL+ or CTL- to zoom in or out. I find that I will occasionally accidentally zoom pages just from the mousepad.
