In the box where you enter your message is a place to change the size of your font.
Click on the arrow beside the number and then change that number to the size font that you want.

Control key with plus or minus key

Also, if you have a scroll wheel, then
Control key with spin ;^)

Make sure the window has focus when you do it.

I've had that happen a couple of times on the Ipad not sure what's happened, but the last time it was on just one page went to the next page and all was normal again.

You probably hit the button for your browsers ZOOM settings...or hit a hot key which adjusted the ZOOM settings. Most browsers (such as Chrome) have ZOOM settings which remember the website they were set to and adjust to the setting you entered once you're on that website.

For example, if using Googles Chrome browser...click on the 3x lines in the upper right corner to bring up the options drop down menu, you'll see the Zoom options about 1/2 way down.

If you're using Internet Exploader...hit the gear icon in the upper right corner, you'll see Zoom as an option in the drop down menu.
