What happened to the format of this website?

I'm bummed guys. For the past few days this site is virtually unusable. The words on the screen are teeny tiny to where I can only read them if I super magnify, but then on a cell phone, It's not really feasible. What happened and is there anything I can do?

The site looks normal for me. WHen I have problems like that on FR I usually clear them by deleting cookies, clearing browser history, running malware software and anything else that comes to mind to clean it.

Hold your cell phone sideways and pinch it bigger, that’s what I do.

Two fingers, side by side on the screen, pull apart. Your system probably updated and the standard resolution changed, or something silly like that.

If you’re on a PC, use Ctrl-mouse scroll to change the zoom level.

That happened on my phone. The font size is so small it is unreadable and the title scrolls off the screen.

I had to switch to my laptop as that has not changed.

Tried to enlarge, it doesn’t reformat and you need to keep moving your fingers to read one sentence.

It’s screwed up. I thought maybe a change was made in an Android phone update that caused this.

Using Google Chrome it’s happening on my phone when I look at all the Articles not when I look at an individual article. I used Zoom to pretty much correct it but that messed up the banner list at the top of the screen.

For some reason, update or something it sounds like your device or browser “scale/scaling” has changed. The FR is the same and hasn’t changed.

The small print you can’t read occasionally happens to me on my Android phone
What I do is close my browser and then reopen it and things are back to normal.

No problem on iPad, MacBook Pro iPhone for me.

Looks like user error.
