The font size in these forums has suddenly changed - can it be adjusted?

For no reason that I can see, the messages in these forums are suddenly being displayed in a much larger font than usual. This is the only area that seems to be affected - all my other regualsr sites are unchanged. Is there a way of getting things here back to normal? The display in the headers, including for example the Main Site > MoneySavingExpert.comForums > Home & Play... line is unchanged.

The trick which works elsewhere of holding Control and rotating the mouse wheel isn't having any effect here.

I'm running Windows 7 on a desktop PC with my display set to 1600x1200.

Many thanks.

    Firefox's Zoom is set to "Zoom text only". I've been reluctant to change the zoom because doesn't it affect all websites globally? Or is it site-specific?

    I suppose the way to find out is to try it...

    Edited to add:

    Well, I tried it and it worked. And it does seem to have changed only this one site, so my fears were groundless.

    Many thanks for the help.

    I managed that with one site and thought it was them, however, I had pressed the mouse button wheel and enlarged the page and firefox remembered the setting for that particular page

    Thanks to everyone for the replies. I've fixed it now, by adjusting Firefox's rather clever site-specific Zoom setting.
