Does anyone else miss the old IP forum?

There was a reason for it then, and there's a reason for it now.

7. Funny you should ask...

I gave up my morning/mid-day/afternoon DU check in for news.... doesn't load on my iphone or tablets in a way that can be read without pinching out, and scrolling left and right with a magnifying glass...
Font is too small, too many gaps and unused spaces between posts, borders with formatting that's really unpleasant to navigate.
Is someone is trying to make it easier for old folks to read with the generous spacing?
Then why make the dang font so small?
I usually wait until the evening when I can jump on the 27" monitor, with my coke bottle bottoms...

8. Have you tried the Large Fonts option?

Go to My Stuff > Account Settings and look for the “Visual appearance” section, you’ll find it there.

We also have a pretty big patch coming soon which includes a lot of small tweaks to spacing particularly on tablet.

10. Thanks for the font tip - Much better. However...

I still can't see the right 1/3rd of each subject/posting on "trending discussions", which is my starting point on the site. I can't scroll or swipe over to read it either. When/if I can figure out how to post a pic, you'll see what I'm struggling with.
For now, imagine putting a piece of tape over the right third of your phone screen.

11. Just searched for posting pics....

12. What kind of phone?

It sounds like this could be possibly be an issue with a too-large ad stretching the home page in a way that it shouldn’t. I’ll keep looking into it.
