Forum display issue: Mandatory scroll-mania on mobile phone

Post by alexis »

Hi - I have a hard time getting the size of the letters on posts here at a big enough size without having to scroll L/R constantly between the beginning and end of each line of text.

As a matter of fact, I can't! This is on every post I read on this forum, and it happens on no other forum I read.

Anyone else? :)

Hi Alexis,
I've actually never even viewed the forum on a phone so this is only a guess but is it possible that you zoomed in once to look at something and didn't reset it afterwards? Ctrl+0 resets it in Windows but I don't know what OS you're using.

Howdy, no sir, I don't believe it's related to any past zooming as much as the forum not being optimized for mobile devices. But I'm not sure of the latter ... anyone else here browsing the forum on a phone (Chrome here).

Am I the only one who accesses this forum over the phone? I'm not a marketing person, but if it is indeed a forum "update for mobile" issue, potential customers may feel more at ease browsing the forums if it were updated.

Hi Alexis,
I just decided to view this post on my iPhone 5c to see if I noticed anything strange. In Safari, everything looks normal to me. No need to scroll as the whole post is visible on screen and if my old eyes can read it, anyone should be able to. Perhaps it is an issue with Chrome?

Than you for checking, a-zimuth! Yes, you are probably right, as I've noticed this across two Samsung Galaxy phones. Unless it is my penance for listening to Barry Manilow records in an earlier life!

Don't be so hard on yourself Alexis, it's not like you were listening to Cher or something. LOL
