Font size too small, how to change?

9 replies

AmIbeingTreasonable · 16/04/2015 11:45

I'm using galaxy tab s and the font size on mn is too small for my liking. Can't be changed in settings and I've downloaded an app that doesn't make any difference. If i increase it in the page i have to scroll sideways to read every line so that's no good either. Any ideas? Thanks :)

Are you using the mobile or desktop site? If you're on the desktop site, scroll right down to the bottom of the page and there should be a link to the mobile site.

Though I use the desktop site just fine on my iPad mini - I just turn it around to landscape, so it's the same shape as a typical pc browser window.

Mobile site.

This could be a muy estúpido question - but have you accidentally shrunk your browser font? (Managed to do that many times myself)

Are you looking at MN via the app, or on normal web?

Hi Kate, I subscribe to the school of "the only stupid question is the one you don't ask"! Grin

I'm using the app on the latest Galaxy Tab S (Android). I can pinch zoom but then I have to scroll left and right on each line to read threads so that's no good. I can't find anything to just increase the font.
I have set the font to HUGE in my tablet settings but that doesn't change the font in the threads and neither does downloading an app to increase font size.

Have you tried the mobile site rather than the app, does that help?

The app and the mobile site the issue is the same. I'm now using the desktop site and can pinch zoom to increase font size without having to scroll sideways to read each line. Hope this may help if someone else has the same problem.

Ah well, glad you're sorted (even if you had to work it out for yourself) Blush

Weirdly, on the desktop site on a tablet some of the posts are large font and some are small (like one after the other), very random, any ideas for this one?? Grin
