Shrunken forums? :(

So, I have a little bit of an odd problem. It seems that the Petopia forums have shrunk!
It's been like this for a few days now. At first I thought it was just me, but comparing a picture I linked of a post with the picture by itself shows that it's been shrunk down by at least a third of it's regular size. I've been looking in the options for something to adjust the vew back to normal, but I haven't been able to find anything.
Other forum sites seem not to have been shrunk, nor any of the other websites I visit.
For reference, I'm using Firefox as my browser, and I have the forums set to the prosilver skin.

Hmm, I have a hunch what your problem might be.

In your Firefox browser, go up to View, then to Zoom. Hit Reset.

Let me know if that changes anything.

It worked! Thanks Veph!
... Although I now feel ever so slightly stupid for not realising this was the problem. :lol:

No, don't even worry about it, I had the exact same thing happen ages ago to another website and was so confused. :lol:

Turns out I often accidentally hit Ctrl while typing something on a page and then use my mouse wheel to scroll down. Result is shrinking the page, and your browser 'remembers' the shrink so it resizes it each time. When I learned about Reset I was so relieved.

Just for future reference, Ctrl+0 (zero) is the keymap to restore it. ^^
