Have you double clicked inside the viewport to activate it?

You also need to make sure that the viewport scale is not LOCKED, there is a little padlock icon next to the viewport scale display on your status bar, in the lower right corner of your screen.

 

Once you are happy with the your new viewport scale, be sure to remember to LOCK it again.
