Try it and see.

Also, to revert back to the correct size, hold the Ctrl key and press the 0 (zero) key.

Is it possible on a laptop without a mouse, please.

yes just the same, hold the control key and press either + or - to change the size.

I tried it with the edge of the touchpad on my acer laptop, where you scroll pages up and down, and this worked.

It works on all websites - it's not a forum feature, it's a browser one.

IE7 & Firefox both zoom in and out with Ctrl + and Ctrl - and with options on the View drop-down menu.

Firefox lets you set it to just zoom the text, leaving images alone.

IE7 also has a little pane in the bottom RH corner where you can control the zoom.

I expect other browsers also offer the facility in one way or another.
