Small font on mobile... Sometimes

[00100001]

So for the last few days mumsnet has sometines been showing a smaller font (perfectly legible) almost like it is zoomed out?

See screen shots below for differences.

Android, OnePlus One, Chrome

oh sorry!

oh sorry!

Having just logged in on my desktop, I can now see that when I log in via Safari on my iPhone I am seeing the actual desktop site, not the mobile version of the desktop site. Everything is far too small to see properly. Is anyone else having this problem?

Sorry to hear a few of you still having trouble with teeny font, we'll try to post an update as soon as poss.

Happening here as of this am. Looks like I'm getting desktop view not mobile.

If anybody is seeing the desktop version of the site on their mobile device, you can just scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap the 'Mobile version' link.

Also if you're not seeing the blue button bar at the bottom of your screen when using Talk, tap the little person icon at the top and then tap 'Show shortcut buttons'

Hope that helps some people at least. We are still trying to figure out why fonts are loading intermittently for some of you.

choose the mobile view (right at the bottom of every page - see if it reverts is back to mobile?

00100001 - correct. That should put you back to mobile view and it should stay there until you switch back to desktop again. Unless you're using Private Browsing or Incognito mode in which case it won't remember.

Ok, I'm still getting this, anyone else?

Yep. Definitely on the mobile site too.

Yes, it's been happening since I cleared my cookies yesterday.

Still getting this too :)
It's like we're in some sort of private mildly annoying club

mildly annoying for both ends

us) because we get small fonts and icons sometimes.
mnhq) because I have no clue how they will "fix" this, seeings as it's intermittent and has been going on for 6+ weeks!

Windows phone here, my fat fingers can't cope 😂

any news MNHQ?

It has been a rather long time.

If you go down to the bottom of the page 001 it should say "mobile site" click on that and it restores it. For some reason our phones must have reverted back to classic site

It's nothing to do with desktop /mobile :) it's an intermittent problem regarding the way fonts are loaded

Ah! Sorry 😊 mines fixed for now I eagerly await the next giant pop up to do the rounds 😂

Fixed here too ☺

ah... well my phone properly broke two days ago.... when it gets fixed, i'll see what occurs!

How about as a Christmas present we get an update on this cos it's really getting annoying!

They have no idea why it is happening... surely?

Right. This started in OCTOBER and there's hardly been any response. I've reported my posts several times with no response either.

HQ, is anyone going to respond to this at all?

So sorry for the late reply, everyone. We will ask tech to re-look at this next week.
