Hey folks-
I'm running the latest version of Internet Explorer on a newer laptop. I've had some trouble with the fonts being tiny, so I selected the page option for font size = largest. That didn't help much, so I zoomed in. The fonts get larger, but on certain pages with the zoom above normal, the sites will shift far to the right of the center of the screen, and I constantly have to scroll over. Any ideas on how to solve this?

I don't remember if this works in IE or not put try holding control and moving the mouse wheel backwards or forwards, that should change the font size Also I didn't know anyone was still using IE, I thought everyone moved on to better, more secure browsers :D

IE7 is probably as secure as firefox, IE6 was the version that caused many security concerns. I believe microsoft is learning from its mistakes.

Look here : get firefox. It's faster than internet explorer and the design is better than IE7.

While I appreciate the Firefox love, I'm sticking with IE7. I've used the Control+mouse wheel function to increase font size, but certain web pages still require me to scrolll far to the right.

Sorry guys, but the days of Firefox should have ended after IE 7. Firefox is just overkill now, take my word for it, I design and code websites as a hobby, and cross broswer compatability is always the worst with firefox. Opera of IE 7 are just as good, Firefox is just the "cool thing" cause everyone loves to bash Microsoft. Don't believe me? Run Gamespot in Firefox.... do it.

Uh, right, back on topic. One thing I've noticed too is that there is a ton of dead space around each side of the centered pages. Come on, any thoughts or ideas that aren't related to a flame war between IE and Firefox? Your input is appreciated.
