FR font issues
bk1000

Posted on 04/19/2015 7:17:58 PM PDT by bk1000

Vanity post.

My first, and probably only, as I am not prone to doing so. I read FR mostly on my Android phone. Recently the thread comments are showing up in an impossibly small font height. The initial post, the plea for donations, as well as some comments are in a legible size, but most comments are unreadable. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it a recent Android bug? I am logged in, and am going to take a shower while I wait to try and read the impossibly small replies from fellow FReepers.

Do you know how to get in touch with Jim Thompson?

I did some investigating. The ONLY pages this problem exists on are those pages with the Freepathon banner message on them. Older pages without that banner message do not exhibit the problem. I'm copying Jim Robinson on this message. Hopefully someone can look at the coding for the banner and fix the issue.

Same problem, sure wish there was some way to fix it.
My eyesight is bad enough and I usually use a large
font anyway.
Any help would be appreciated.

It’s only been in the last week or so.
It’s such an odd mix of font sizes too,
some tiny others normal then just a tiny line or two
then normal again.
drives me nuts.
tried loging out but no help.
Doesn’t happen on my PC only on android and chrome,
don’t know about other browsers.
Hellllllp.

I have no font problem with chrome on an android phone. Both logged in and signed off look the same.

I use Google Chrome on my LG G3 as I can “pinch” to whatever size font I want. Firefox stops at a size I cannot comfortable read without using my reading glasses which I do not always have around me.

I am reading this on a tablet, in landscape mode.

When I clicked on the thread it automatically scales to the width of the widest post in the thread. For some reason something is overriding the width limitations on the page.

This usually happens when someone posts a large picture, but there isn’t one here. My guess is that one of the “ads” has an incorrect CSS tag.

Thanks for speaking up! I thought that I must have somehow reset my browser settings. Was very annoying but you had the brains to speak up about it! Thanks again!
