Hi Ron n,
I have my zoom on 125% and when I shut my computer down and restart it the next day the zoom is still at 125% it dose not reset to 100%. My computer might be different to yours but worth a look.

Andy - You're correct - my error. Zoom does stay set on startup, at what it was set at, on shutdown.

However, I rarely use zoom, except to occasionally examine a small photo in more detail - then I always return the zoom to 100%.

In Chrome, it's easy enough to see if you have zoom set to shrink or enlarge - the magnifying glass symbol immediately appears on the end of the address bar when you have zoomed in or out.

The bottom line is, zoom doesn't substantially affect the problem of the Facebook and Twitter icons overlying the text. However, I can just get the text to appear by shrinking the page to 90%.

Now - this morning, I cranked the computer up again and the problem has returned. I did some editing of the HTML code for the icon alignment on the webpage and the problem went away - until I closed the page and re-opened it.

I shut down the computer and restarted it, and the problem has disappeared again.
I'm starting to think there's a glitch in Chrome which is causing the problem - a conflict between some Chrome code and the forum code.

This forum must use some odd coding as it produces some weird results when you put up a post if you try to use regular symbols or the numeric keypad symbols.
For example, I can type in a simple plus sign and it won't appear in the post, so the plus sign must be used as part of some of the forum code.

I'll give some feedback to Google about the problem and see what they reckon. The programming of Chrome is also becoming exceptionally complex with the addition of a lot of mobile apps to the Chrome page.

Cheers, Ron.

Know what you mean Michael, sometimes being a TechnoNeanderthal is a real blessing, cheers, Kanga.

...many people just use a computer to surf the net and not for "computing" (its original intended purpose I assume) plus this forum is a type of social media that also contributes to time wasting - just what I'm doing now :)

Cheers
Greg

Thanks Ron, I'll get the resident geek to try out the suggestion hopefully that will sort it out, it is an intermittent problem for us. Very frustrating when those icons cover up the meat of the thread somebody put up! Cheers, Kanga.
