Summat weird has happened,my screen resolution is 1024x728,internet pages open in this resolution,however for some reason youtube opens in a much higher screen resolution setting,vid clips seem to play as they always did but the text is almost to small to read,if I open "Display from the control panel it still shows the screen running at 1024x728,is there some way to get it back to what it was?
Pprune seems to run in the resolution it always has,only thing I can think of that has caused this was I dropped the keyboard this afternoon and youtube has been running like this ever since?
weird,:confused:

You don't say what browser your using, but in most browsers you can change the font size of a displayed web site by using the CTRL and "+" or "-" keys to increase or decrease the font size.

Or, if you have a wheel mouse, just hold down the Ctrl key and scroll the wheel.

I think Firefox remembers any font size changes for a particular site, so if you or someone reduced the font size on YouTube before, it's been remembered this time.

And ctrl-0 resets any zoom.

Thank you, thank you again.:}

One has zoomed for quite a while, but was never quite sure if I was back to zero.

The IT Wallahs seem to have somehow locked the zoom facility at work - for shame!
