Closed Was ZooChat offline for you today/yesterday ?

I'm trying to diagnose a weird internet routing problem that occurred yesterday which saw a small subset of users unable to connect to ZooChat (and other sites hosted by our provider) all day.

If you have had difficulty in the past 24 hours or so connecting to ZooChat, please let me know - it would be helpful in isolating the cause of the problem.

(Our hosting provider has fixed the symptoms so that things should work again now, but the root cause of the problem possibly lies elsewhere - we just aren't sure where yet).
 
The only thing different that happened to me is that everything has changed in size. I kind of like that the font size has gone up, but the photos were also increased in size which makes them look blurry.

You haven't accidentally enabled a zoom function in your browser have you ?

Nothing has changed on the site recently.
 
I'm using Mozilla Firefox.

I just checked with my other computer, and it also happened there. I also use Firefox in my other computer, so maybe it's just Firefox that's making it be like that.
 
Go to the "View" menu, then "Zoom", then click "Reset" - see attached screenshot.

Unfortunately it's easy to accidentally change the zoom level - especially when looking to type + ... since you hit Shift and + to get the plus symbol but if you accidentally hit Ctrl and + instead, Firefox will increase the zoom level!

Happens to me quite a bit.

You can also hit Ctrl and 0 in Firefox to reset the zoom level back to normal.
