Title: Is It Me? Microsoft Edge Issues with AMfone
Post by: W3SLK on December 10, 2023, 09:08:50 AM
I recently got the latest 'Edge' update from Microscheißen. It seems now when I log in here, all the letter fonts are small and any of the associated 'buttons', icons, and photos show up as broken links. I know Adobe Flashplayer got killed sometime ago so I'm curious to know if I'm the only one having this issue. If I am I would be open to advice on how to correct it.

Same here Mike, it is almost unreadable without a magnifying glass.

Been doing that on my elderly lap mac for some time . I just hit 'command' '+' a few times to suit my vision.

I have the same with Edge but I don't use it exclusively but just for PDFs.  I use Brave primarily and sometimes Firefox as my main browsers.  They are supposedly the most secure browsers.  

In Windows, CTRL + will magnify.  CTRL - will shrink.

Looks like it is working right now, at least for me. Maybe the board got an update and defaulted a setting!

I've been having the same issue so I switched to a different browser. It's called "Pale Moon"It's just about the same as Firefox minus the extra BS and bloatware that Firefox has.Try it,you'll like it!

Hey Folks,

The difference with the "Edge" update is that it is looking for a "secured" protocol server, and that effects the font size display (on Edge) the way the forum was originally designed.

Compare the font size via these two addresses:

http://amfone.net/Amforum/index.php

https://amfone.net/Amforum/index.php

No bid deal! On the upper right corner of the Edge browser there are three "dots" that pulldown with "ZOOM" as an option. You can adjust the page/font size to your liking, and it will ALWAYS display AMfone that size! (until the NEXT update..Ha!)
