Default old problem sorry! just got a widescreen monitor and scoobynet is tiny

very sorry to go over old ground but it shows how up to date i am

i've just got a new computer and it's got a 19" widescreen monitor, great picture quality but everything's so bloody small! i've altered the resolution to the recomended setting (which made things even smaller!!)

the rest i can live with but i'm going to need a magnifying glass to read anything on here. is there any setting to make this site bigger? most other sites i've gone on so far look fine, just a bit smaller, but the text for the forums on here is tiny!

start > control panel > display

click the "settings" tab at the top of this window and slide the slider to the left

if you're on widescreen you may want to try a settings of 1440 x 900 or smaller

Also if you're using firefox try the no squint addon, helps even out everything.

that's what the monitor is set at (1440x900) trouble is anything less looks a bit crap now it's been on the top setting. i've had a play around and if i get the text how i want it the quality isn't so good.

there's about 2" of grey nothing either side of the scooby web page, if i could stretch it out it would be fine?

If you can't track that down, try Control+mouse wheel.

Edit: IE supports this as well now I see.
