For some unknown reason, bluelight, and only bluelight comes up super-small on Google Chrome, and no other browser on my home cpu. I really don't like using other browsers, though shit is so hard to read that I rarely bother coming here anymore, which is a shame. Please help if possible. Also, please boost your font to at least size 5 so I can read it, thanks.
 
^For the OPs viewing convenience.
can you post a screenshot? what happens if you use the chrome zoom commands (<control><+>)?

Renders fine for me in mac chrome (7.0.517.41). Make sure you have updated to the most recent version of google chrome. Try clearing some of your settings i.e. internet cache, cookies etc. Since it is only bluelight causing problems it would appear to be a css problem but I'm not sure. In the bottom left corner there is a pulldown menu called Quick Style Chooser. Try the different styles there and see if that helps also I bet the mobile option will work either way even if it is ugly.

edit: the name of the cookie for the style is "bbstyleid" so make sure you delete that one

Did you go into tools (the wrench icon) and make sure the zoom for Bluelight is at 100%. Also holding control and scrolling the mouse changes zoom in windows and many linux desktops. I forget how Mac people do that.

About a year back or maybe more firefox and chrome both started retaining zoom settings for entire secondary domains. So if you cntrl +mouse scroll- the zoom stays that way till you put it back or clear all the settings.You change zoom for entire sites now.As Alisdairm pointed out without mouse wheel its <cntrl> + <+>

Since it can easily happen that someone zoomed Bluelight on accident, which might appear like a BL problem rather than a problem on their end a short summary of this might be good to stick in the Support FAQ.

Very cool stuff. I had never picked up on that as if I need to zoom I just use mac system full screen zoom not an application specific one.
 
glad you got it sorted.
