June 21[edit]

microscopic font on youtube[edit]

I just logged into my youtube account and suddenly I find everything in a microscopic typeface in which it did not formerly appear. It's about one-third the size of any reasonable font and I fear physical injury from reading it. How can I change it back to a normal font size? And why did it change?

Perhaps the browser got zoomed out? Try using control and the + plus key to zoom the text back in. Control and the mouse wheel could work, too. --Mark viking (talk) 06:01, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If it were the browser, then youtube would not be the only site on which this happens. Michael Hardy (talk) 21:21, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
YouTube's been undergoing radical (IMHO as a relatively long-time user) changes recently, so it could just be some type of glitch you're experiencing. If what Mark suggested isn't the case, try logging out and logging back in. --Yellow1996 (talk) 18:35, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Firefox does text size changes on a per website basis. Hinted at here and workround requested here. I guess you are not using Firefox or you would be used to this happening. Thincat (talk) 22:28, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
