Has anyone else's DU font size and screen layout just changed?

I've suddenly got useless white areas on each side of the screen, the font size has decreased a bit, but the size of some buttons has decreased even more (eg the text for 'search this forum' and 'about this forum', on each forum view, now take up 3 lines and thus spill outside the edge of the button).

ANyone else got this now? Firefox on Windows 7.

I have no idea what I can have been doing - maybe I was just typing '_' and only noticed the change on a new screen or something (the dangers of looking too much at the keyboard as you type).

I suddenly have too much or too little. Just hitting the wrong keys, I guess. Don't know which ones, though.

ctrl (shift) plus increases the font size (as has already been pointed out)

ctrl minus does the reverse

you can also change the font size by rolling your mouse wheel while pressing on ctrl.

This was on the homepage. Then I navigated to a subpage and it was normal again. The site is still slow as well. DU admins are aware of the slowness issue and are investigating.
