Awhile ago when I returned to the world of Apple, I had an issue with the forums displaying super huge like in the image below. I remember somehow fixing it with the links at the bottom? Right now on my desktop pc it looks normal and it used to be normal here on my MBA, but yesterday it decided to go back to being huge. How do I fix this?
Got a tip for us?

Why are the forums so ridiculously huge?

Apparently you're using Firefox (sorry, I only use it to test a site I'm developing). I was able to get something similar by zooming in repeatedly (pressing cmd +)
When I go to View > Zoom > Actual Size, this is what I get.
So, maybe you accidentally pressed cmd + a few times to zoom the page? Look at the View > Zoom setting. Like I said, not familiar with firefox, but other browsers remember your zoom preference on a per-site basis. So, even if everything looks normal on other sites, you might have set a 200% (or whatever) zoom for MacRumors.

Try going to your Preferences page:
There should be a "Font size" setting there. The choices are "Small", "Medium (recommended)", "Large", and "Extra Large". Choose "Small".
Finally, scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Save".
I'm not sure whether this will have any effect, because it might depend on the browser, or that particular preference setting might be obsolete.

Well, no luck with either the cache/cookies or the font size (was already on small). But... If I change the style to Default Style (Xenforo) it's the proper size, but I can't stand the brightness of it.
OK. This is weird. I was testing the various styles and suddenly when I go back to MacRumors Dark (what I normally have it set to) it's back to normal. I don't know why it's suddenly working, but if it happens again in the future, I know the fix is to do a bit of a dance with the styles.
Thanks for the very quick suggestions everyone!
