Bing displays images in one long column

Hey guys, for some reason when I try to look up images on Bing, it displays them in one LOOOONG column, rather than rows like usual. Not quite sure when this started. I'm using Windows 10, but the images display fine when I'm on Internet Explorer. Is there a way to fix this?

Wonder if it has something to do with my size/font settings, as I've jacked up the text a little bit because my eyesight isn't the best.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

If you have made changes to Advanced font size settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the Default font size setting "16" and the Minimum font size setting "none" in case the current setting is causing the problem.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not getting displayed properly.
