Fonts gone weird on mobile site

In the last few minutes, the first post on a thread (which I have highlighted) has a strange font. It makes my eyes go funny. Same thing has happened to the buttons up there at the top (Log Out; Inbox; Desktop Site). Anyone else?

I'm on a iPhone 5 using safari.

Same here Samsung galaxy note 1 android jelly bean
all writing has the white shadow but obviously wouldnt notice on white background. The only exception appears to be the preview and post message boxes

FrankelInFoal · 30/11/2013 10:05

Same problem here on both iPad and iphone4 Sad

Although i've just posted this from the computer...

fryingpantoface · 30/11/2013 09:20

Oh good, I'm glad someone else posted this! I'm on Windows phone and it's doing the same thing. Shadowing all highlighted posts, won't let me reply, and keeps going back to the top

lougle · 30/11/2013 09:16

Samsung Galaxy Note here, latest OS. shadowing on all highlighted posts. Bookmarking works but then the thread doesn't go to the bookmarked post on loading. Top and reply don't work.

Yes it's ruined :(
I can't face reading an OP, and god forbid they've posted again in the thread. And the extra scrolling is making my carpal tunnel worse :(

Me too. Everything is a bit blurry and bookmarks don't work. If I click on a thread I then have to refresh it to see more than just the title.

TobyLerone · 30/11/2013 09:11

Argh! It's so annoying!

THIS IS RUINING MY MN EXPERIENCE, DAMMIT!

Gileswithachainsaw · 30/11/2013 08:54

Same here can barely read it. And everyone I click on a post it goes straight back to too of thread.

yegodsandlittlefishes · 30/11/2013 08:12

Me too. Weird washed out/shadow effect.

Chrome and a Samsung here.

On iPhone 4 and having same issues as PolterGoose. It's sooooo slow. Fgs don't make me interact with my husband and children!

BuzzardBird · 30/11/2013 07:50

And now the jumping to the top of the page has started to me too...and the shaking page :( mn is broken :(

Bobolbach · 30/11/2013 06:54

Me too. On samsung phone. It is the jumping to the top of the page if you have started scrolling as the page is still loading that is annoying.

HTC 1 user, it is unreadable...well obviously its not or I wouldn't have been able to find this thread, but ynwim?

HarrietJonesPM · 30/11/2013 06:23

There's a little shadowy dot appearing over the talk button as it loads.

Can't load most of my usual threads

TobyLerone · 30/11/2013 04:33

I thought it was just me, too.

White shadowing on all highlighted posts, making them impossible to read. Scrolling issues, including the screen jumping to the top when I click on someone's name in TIO, instead of to their post (and at other times). Buttons don't always work until I touch them 4 or 5 times, and even then they have no highlighting to say it's worked...

Android (idk which version!) on S3.

GoshAnneGorilla · 30/11/2013 04:23

Me too. I'm using an Android tablet and the problem is the same in Opera and Chrome.

Glad it's not just me having this issue!

StrattersCat · 30/11/2013 00:23

And me :(

I'm on an iPhone 5. I'm stuck on the mobile site, which I detest. Half the buttons aren't working, I can't get 'Reply' to work, and it won't change to the Desktop site.

Can't. Cope.

AndHarry · 29/11/2013 23:06

Weird shadows for me too (iPhone 4S, safari, IOS something very old...). The 'top' and 'reply' buttons also aren't working for me.

SauceForTheGander · 29/11/2013 22:56

Me too on iphone5 - strike through looks strange and when I press "active" or threads I'm on the button doesn't blue and the screen hangs for a bit. Also of I press a post from "threads I'm on" it still jumps to the top of the page rather than going to that particular post.

YoniMatopoeia · 29/11/2013 22:51

HTC1 here.

Weird white shaddow making highlighted op text unreadable.

Style sheet gone wrong?

Runlikeagirl · 29/11/2013 22:38

Me too. Nexus 4, android KitKat.

MurderOfGoths · 29/11/2013 22:31

Just to add, Chrome 31 on Nexus 7 (Android 4.4) is showing the same. Font is same colour as always but has a white dropshadow effect.

Top, Reply and Bookmark aren't responsive. And if I open up a thread I've previously read and bookmarked it will only go to the first post.

Everything else seems to work the same.
