Is this for groups.io specifically, or every site? Is it in your browser only, or everything on your desktop?

Try changing your zoom setting (Ctrl +), or Ctrl-0 will generally set it to 100%.

I have apparently the same problem: When I access one or two of my particulr GIO groups the type has reverted to tiny. My other GIO groups never do this.

It is easy enough to enlarge the type using ['command' plus '+'] but not sure why occasionally the type shows up tiny when the page opens. It's a bit clumsy.

Is there something that I am overlooking which causes this?

Zoom settings are specific for the URL (at least it's that way in Chrome). Given that different groups have a different URL, they may also have a different zoom.

Be sure to change the zoom setting for each of your groups, especially if you access them via a browser bookmark.

Hope this helps,

I have?the same?problem with one of my groups, but I have been assuming it's a gmail issue.

Does anyone else in your group have the problem, and are those who do gmail users?

-P.

It is for groups. io only.? All groups - I am in five or six.
 

It does not happen if I use Edge.? or Duck Duck Go.? It happens to me only in Chrome.? And it happened to ALL of my groups at the same time.
 

Thanks!? You fixed it!!!!? I did not know that you can change zoom settings for each tab in Chrome. Perhaps I smacked the wrong key at some point.

Holding the Ctrl key while scrolling the mouse wheel will change the zoom.?
It unintentionally "happens to me" all the time.
You should see a spyglass in the URL bar if the tab is zoomed + or - of your default setting.? Clicking it?lets you reset to the default zoom.
 

One of the reasons I prefer Firefox to the others is that it allows you to have a customizable toolbar and it can have the Zoom controls on it, so if you were using Firefox I would suggest to right-click on the toolbar and select Customize and one of the controls you can add to it is the Zoom Controls.? When added to the toolbar it looks like this:??? - | 100% | +
It's easy then to visually see right away if you're off from the 100% default, and/or zoom in or out using the mouse, besides the keyboard shortcuts.

Chrome also used to be customizable like FF in the toolbar regard but for some reason Google removed some of the customization features so not sure how one can do it in Chrome so the zoom controls will be shown in the toolbar.? Otherwise, in Chrome (& MS Edge), you can click on the menu (3 dots) and the Zoom controls will be under there, same in Opera except there click the O-menu and the zoom controls will be under there.

Thanks to Christos for the tip about zoom controls.? I immediately added it to my FireFox, and discovered that my gmail tab was at 110%, even though I have *disabled* the control-plus & -minus in my browser.? I checked some other tabs, and those were all at exactly 100%.
?
My tab was also at 100% exactly.? However, in the past, I have seen both my gmail and GIO tabs at what appears to be a larger font size--again, despite disabling the zoom functions (or so I had thought).? I chalked it up to FireFox/gmail doing whatever they please--but now I have actual evidence that I'm not nuts.
?
I commend this solution to the OP.

Metta,

To make the Chrome toolbar less crowded if installed extensions are shown on there, Page Zoom is one click away (the vertical .... ('more') icon), and also a FullPage option is right of the? - | % | +
