cell phones and posting

Ruger480 · March 30, 2014, 12:54 PM

When I post from my cell phone the font is super small. How can I fix that?

I can tell when others are posting from their phones too because it is displayed the same way.

Is this about tapatalk?

Can you link to an example of such a post, or use your phone to reply in this thread?

Nope. I don't use tapatalk.

However, it must have something to do with my phone (droid razr).

I'm at my laptop right now and everything looks normal. So, I pulled up this thread on my phone and low and behold....tiny print.

Unless you have any suggestions about how to fix that, I guess I'll just have to deal with it.

Thanks though.

Holy cow, I just pulled up this thread on my android 4.4 phone and I feel like I'm in an alternate universe. The TFL front page (forums listing) too. Different forum names are in different font sizes.

It looks like the latest mobile Chrome is displaying the page wrong.

My android 4.4 phone shows strange font sizes. Chrome/33.0.1750.170 Mobile Safari/537.36

A pair of phones (carrier's stock android 4.1 and cyanogenmod 10.2), both running mobile safari 534.30, both render the pages properly.

The page also looks ok on an iPhone running AppleWebKit/537.51.1

I doubt there's a difference in what's being sent to the working and non-working browsers, but comparing those is the next step.

When I open this forum on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.3) in the Chrome app, It seems like resizes certain posts to miniscule size. I'm thinking this is just an issue certain devices have rendering the full size website as efficiently as possible. Just a guess...
