Font size still too big for average reader

I understand if you have poor eyesight, dyslexia etc but the average reader doesn't and this is hindering our ability to read threads as quick as we used to. I'm not being unreasonable, I'm being blunt.

On the website. It might be formatting rather than font....

Samsung Android

App or website?

I've just looked at both on my iPhone as well as my iPad and it all looks absolutely fine with a normal sized font so I guess it's dependent on device.

@bigishbrenda I'm on the app. I assume there's a photo or a quote in that post? I and see a thing except you saying What sort of phone you have.

RampantIvy · 23/04/2022 07:35

I don't use the app BTW. I'm getting quite used to the new format now.

Font size looks completely normal to me but there’s slightly more space between the lines so it looks more spaced out.

my friend says font is way too big on her android xiomi phone. just normal size on my samsung but I am not liking new look site and I'm having my own issues with it such as constantly logging me out.

ShopoholicIn · 22/04/2022 22:35

OP mine is the same. And I don't know why app title threads are bold.

SoupDragon · 22/04/2022 22:24

I feel like they've lowered the reading age essentially.

I'm not seeing an issue with the font size at all. It doesn't look any bigger than it used to.

RampantIvy · 22/04/2022 18:23

I'm using a Galaxy S10 and not having any of these issues.

OatSprout · 22/04/2022 18:21

I think maybe the gaps between let’s is bigger? Or the font is wider?

something is making it much harder to read.

DramaAlpaca · 22/04/2022 18:14

The font size is bigger for me since the relaunch on an Android phone and tablet, and as an older MNer I like it.

oviraptor21 · 22/04/2022 18:14

I'm on an Anroid phone using the browser version and the font size is larger and there are more gaps.
It is annoying because of the increased scrolling and as I have a touch of RSI it makes me use it less.

User3579 · 22/04/2022 18:13

On an iPhone with font at 100% as always and it seems bigger but it just may be more spaced out. It different and not in a good way. There’s definitely less content in my screen and it takes more scrolling

AchillesPoirot · 22/04/2022 18:10

I'm in an iPhone and it's definitely smaller

And the app has small font too.

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 22/04/2022 18:09

And typing a message, the font is smaller than once it's posted.

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 22/04/2022 18:08

I could adjust my browser settings on my phone but then everything else would be smaller including the tiny numbers to move on to the next page. It's only gone up by one or two points but it is bigger. This is on the mobile site.

Damnedalways · 22/04/2022 14:55

It's horrible, I've stopped coming on so much as it hurts my eyes so much

BruceAndNosh · 22/04/2022 14:54

Landscape mode it's smaller but readable. With annoying white gaps down the sides.
Portrait is larger and no wasted space

SilverGlassHare · 22/04/2022 14:53

And when you reduce the font size, now everything shrinks, leaving even more white space.
