I feel like a bit of an idiot having just spent about 30 minutes trying to work out what I had done to my computer that was making Google bigger.
Turns out its a Google thing to make the service easier :rolleyes:

Glad it wasn't just me :) I changed routers tonight and have had a right battle with getting things sorted... I was so befuddled, I was wondering how on earth changing a router could affect Google! :rolleyes:
Some of the comments at the bottom of the page are funny. TBH I hadn't noticed the change. Bit distracted at the moment with other stuff.Quote:

Yep... also guilty of thinking ruddy firefox had borked something... Also 45 minutes of twiddling trying to "fix it"... :nerd:
I wonder how many "IT Professionals" from around the world have been scratching their heads at this one!
Would love to see the guy at Google who pressed "GO". I bet just loves the amount of torment he is causing :D
Whats spookier is Google.com is bigger than Google.co.uk spookey!
Both look the same to me. :confused:Quote:

Just had a look at it now and honestly can't tell the difference.
Ahh, explains it. Looks huge on my laptop now, about half an inch high.
*Goes to investigate a greasemonkey script to shrink it back down*
Ahh, I was just trying to tweek that about 20 min ago! I was looking at it through Firefox start page (Mozilla Firefox Start Page) and its ok maybe because its cached then i'd go to google it was bigger.
I'm glad I found out here other wise I would have spent the next 10min trying Ctrl + MouseWheel Up/Down
I like it :)
On a similar note, has anyone noticed Google.co.uk searches getting worse recently? I've been finding that many of the results are somewhat left of centre, but if I run the same search from .com, I get "normal" results...
I just hate when I'm looking for uk sites and using uk search to still get non uk results.
I also thought the text size in my browser had been fiddled with.
