I just received a Samsung 10.1inch Netbook for xmas yay! I am trying however to use the new CB on it and discovering that it displays the text way to small. Anyone know of anyway to fix this?

Thanks.

It only barely functions, and the only reason I haven't canceled my subscription entirely is the Compendium and the ability to access old issues of Dragon and Dungeon.

It is so not web-based; it's 3rd-party non-W3C-compliant plugin based. If it were truly web based, like the HTML5 virtual tabletop I saw the other day, I could zoom in by holding the [ctrl] key and either scrolling my mouse-wheel or pressing the [+] key.

Try resizing the window. Whatever Silverlight 'magic' they're making use of will resize all of the components in the window (including text) to scale. If you can't make the window any bigger, try plugging in an external monitor? (Not ideal, I know.)

Thanks.

I had the same problem, but there is a work around.

Using Google Chrome, (Haven't tested in any other web browser) paste the wizards.com/dnd/launch.aspx?x=dnd/dnd/cb... into a new tab. Now press F11, bringing the tab to full screen. If you want to switch tabs, just hold ctrl-numberoftab.

Hope this helps!
