(sitting closer means a regular chair, and back, neck, arm, etc don't really allow that. can't convince my family to plant an armchair smack dab in the middle of the living room....) Some websites don't blow up well, like darling at&t's email, the ads all get larger, so while the email font is larger, the space it sits in is smaller (hate at&t!), others enlarge, but don't give you a side-to-side scroll bar so you just lose the rest of the page, ggrrrrh! Like I need MORE difficulties in navigating what I'm working so hard to see in the first place. So it's little bits at a time. So frustrating.

Anything I can come up with is just about external, skin scarring. So frustrating. Was hoping someone here might know something more.
Re: the zooming, what you're describing is clearly the browser's zoom function since you describe changes in the layout of the page. What I'm describing is zoom of the pixels of your screen independent of the applications. So you might still want to check into that approach.

Or you could try the zooming in other browsers (chrome, firefox, ie, etc.) and see if they have fewer layout problems.

Sorry I don't have any info on external skin scarring.
