iPhone 4S using safari browser and the mobile site.

The layout has all gone wonky - the buttons are huge and square and don't fit on the screen (under each other) and typing in the message box produces huge text.

T'is very disconcerting as I can only see about 4 words at a time.

(I've tried logging out and clearing my cache, history and cookies in case it's at my end).

Mahooosive 'Threads I'm On' here. iPhone4 thingy. Using Safari. (Morning, Tech BTW. Hope you got some sleep!)

DorisShutt · 25/05/2013 06:56

Okay, TIO & TIW are now huge font.

Buttons are still wrong, but text box input is back to normal operation.

Sorry Sad Thanks Wine

It's like reading a Janet and John book.

YY TIO and TIW are massive. Like I have an accessibility function turned on. And the preview and post message buttons under this entry box are misaligned.

I'm using safari, iPhone 4.

I actually quite liked the larger text when posting a message on a thread - I thought that was an intentional change!

Are you trying to get us to move over to the app? Hmm

sjuperyoni · 25/05/2013 08:09

I'm on galaxy s4 using chrome, my writing is huge still. I thought ut was my end this phone was cursed to hell yesterday!

OnTheNingNangNong · 25/05/2013 08:09

It's the same for me regarding the buttons, TIO and posting messages, writing a line takes up a large portion of my screen and it is very annoying.

Please make it go back to normal, please.

PseudoBadger · 25/05/2013 08:15

TIO is massive here, iphone 5 on mobile site

jennimoo · 25/05/2013 08:23

I'm watching has massive font on iPhone 5 and safari here.

Ubermumsy · 25/05/2013 08:28

Happening to me too (HTC Android running Gingerbread). Am glad it's q site issue though, I thought DS age 3 had mucked about with my settings in some unfathomable way!

FrustratedSycamoresRocks · 25/05/2013 08:31

iphone 4s on safari,
and preview and post message buttons are still wonky and huge.

And on the talk section, clicking onto threads I'm on , i'm watching, customise and unanswered results in the following pages being in huge font.

EskSmith · 25/05/2013 08:36

"are you trying to get us to move over to the app" haha.
I was just thinking this was revenge for me dissing the app and saying the mobile site was much better the other day!!

hollyisalovelyname · 25/05/2013 08:37

Please sort out the pound sign on the mobile site. This has been awful for months. When posters put in the pound sign it doesn't work instead you get gobbledy gook with the word acute somewhere in it. Very strange

cocolepew · 25/05/2013 08:54

Text huge here still, TIO is bizarre Grin

FarelyKnuts · 25/05/2013 09:52

Text box still massive and TIO has now turned massive too.
Samsung Galaxy S

tethersend · 25/05/2013 10:31

oh no, that's worse Sad

Text input is still far too big, although it is smaller than yesterday but not by much.

Post, preview and convert links are all still huge.

Everything on tio is massive, impossible to use massive.

DontMeanToBeRudeBut · 25/05/2013 11:01

iPhone 4S here. TIO font is massive - please put it back to the way it was!

tethersend · 25/05/2013 11:04

WHAT WAS THAT DEAR?

TUESDAY?

YES.

Jinsei · 25/05/2013 11:12

Ooh, I thought it just wasn't loading properly on my phone! Glad to know it's being fixed!

And I am not switching over to the app...mobile site is definitely better!

OliviaMMumsnet · 25/05/2013 11:27

@tethersend

WHAT WAS THAT DEAR?

TUESDAY?

YES.

ROFL
I will see if I can find out what's occurring....

dizzy77 · 25/05/2013 11:48

Just bobbed on as I've accidentally pressed post message too soon twice replying to a thread with the new big mobile/iPhone/safari buttons. On the whole happier they're easier to get to but do look a bit of a wally with my half formed replies.
