My Samsung 8S+ won't display FR properly. A few days ago it shrunk the screen so that everything is super small with long text strings.
I can access anything but it is a pain in the butt because the more I zoom up the further out I have to pan back and forth to read it.
And yes I am logged on 🤪
Thanks
Same here.
I’ve upped my text size to 200% and enlarged from there ...
which browser do you use?
click on the icon that looks like the usa flag at top, just under the time.
what is the browser app you use on the Samsung 8 S +?
I suspect the issue is in the browser & browser setttings, & or settings in the machine, more than in the machine naturally.
I find it not unusual to find settings in my android phone changed - mysteriously - when I know I did not change them.
The solution is a simple one; donate to any and all FReep-a-Thons! Your problem will magically disappear! ;)
Stop writing those mean things about the NSA.
Use a laptop or tablet. This site is not very mobile friendly.

Haven’t you read all of the other posts on FR about cell phones?
IT’S THE NSA SPYING ON YOU! /s ;-)
Double tap on the screen and it should lose the columns on the right. But it will try to go back to default, so double tap again when it does.
Mine stopped wrapping. Goofle. Hard to read. Just went to duck duck go and it’s wrapping now.
Depends on your definition of "mobile friendly".
Granted, you can display a lot more of the article and comments on a tablet or real computer, no argument. But I find I can read and enjoy FR threads just fine on my little iPhone SE -- the smallest form factor Apple makes, it's like 4.5" diagonal. It's rare that a thread has a huge long URL or oversized image that screws it up -- and those are the posters' fault, not the site's fault.
The so-called "mobile-friendly" forums and social media are horrible to read on a small mobile phone. They cram way too much crap onto the screen, never mind the ads and notifications and pop-ups and other noisy BS.
The last thing FR needs is to lose the simplicity of the current ad-free, quiet format.
If that's "not very mobile friendly", well, I'll take it. :-)
Just for giggles, try Microsoft Edge and see if it does the same thing.

Amen!
Double AMEN!!
Using a phone instead of a computer??????
