Typeface not font.
Did you select large font in your phone settings, already?
How can I use this info on an iPhone? It seems like the directions are for a computer. Am I missing something?
Yes, of course I do zoom the text bigger with my fingers but that would mean scrolling left to right for every single line of text. I can’t be the only one trying to creep on an iPhone. There used to be certain browsers that you could enlarge website fonts to work within text boxes. Is there one?
I wish FR would be updated for the 21st century.
Opera is the browser I have used for years for FR. It used to work. Now for some reason either an update has caused it not to, or the new phone (iPhone 7 instead of my old 6) isn’t working with opera.
I checked again. I am indeed logged in. I have all my clothes on and apparently I identify as a female. Surely part of my problem.
I use Perfect Web Browser. It has a slider for font. I just tried it and it seems to wrap the text.
They consider me a whiner because I would like to use FR while out of my home? Well then. Not a great way to get donations, that, is it?
Surely there is a FReeper with an iPhone who has found a way to make this site work on a phone with readable size font.
No, that is exactly how you adjust font for your phone on iPhone as well. So you were correct with your instructions. However, it does nothing for the Free Republic website font.
;) why don’t I come over there and hold THIS closer to your face?! (Kidding)
Great idea. There are are tons of tutorials. But they don’t seem to show how to make it work on individual websites.
I’ll get those and go look for an old guy to stare at.
Getting Firefox right now. Hope it is the solution, will let you know shortly. Thanks.
Not seeing any double tap option, when I double tap nothing happens.
Feeling stupid.
Ok, will try Perfect now. I’ll try anything tonight. Will let you know.
You found a great browser that really lets you see what you are reading and writing on FR. Thank you so much.
Perfect Browser. (That is the actual name. ) Costs a few bucks but you can freep on your phone!!!
I will need to get used to this but I can actually read FR and post and even see what I am writing.
Thanks so much to Rastus and to everyone else. Hope this helps others as well.
I’m glad you like it. I didn’t remember it costing money, so sorry about that part.
My choice. It was worth it. That slider makes the font as big as you need it. Just wow. I’m happy. FRiends to the rescue again!! Hugs.
:-)
Try Opera. Best phone browser for FR.
