Type size decreased at some point today?

35 replies

AtLeastHalfRelieved · 17/01/2024 18:42

I know it's changed because until this afternoon, edited posts appeared in slightly smaller typeface. Now, all posts are the same size typeface even if showing as edited!

Why? It's too small for my aging eyes 👀

(Mobile site, up to date S10, latest version of chrome)

Hi OP

Can you possibly share a screenshot so we can take a look at what you're seeing?

AtLeastHalfRelieved · 17/01/2024 19:44

Here, though I'm not sure how much it will help! Until earlier today, most posts were in very slightly bigger type, except for edited posts which appeared slightly smaller. Now, all posts are showing in the slightly smaller size.

Hey OP I’m also on chrome, nothing has changed for me

AtLeastHalfRelieved · 17/01/2024 19:50

Aha! I had an accidental screenshot of a random post from earlier today! It's a tiny difference in size but it's definitely smaller. You can tell the from the bottom bar that the screenshots are the same size, but the one on the right is ever so slightly bigger type...

Do you have something like what I have circled in red somewhere on your screen? (This is my iPhone, but it caught my finger once when I was trying to return to active threads). It affects type size on screen.

Not that I've ever noticed but I'll have a look.

The thing is though, that I know something has changed at the MNHQ end not just on my phone because until today edited posts were in slightly smaller type and now all posts are in the smaller type (so edited posts are no longer slightly smaller, because they're all that size). I don't think any of my settings could change that!

I have large and small typeface varying from post to post.
(Samsung tablet, chrome browsers, using mobile site not app)

Oh god that would drive me mad, at least mine is consistently smaller! Has yours always been like that??

It varies from post to post on my Samsung.
Tiny text size too small to read

Can you let us know how you get on after tweaking browser settings?

Can't find any browser settings to tweak, and fairly sure I couldn't do anything at my end to make some posts one size and some another...

Morning, all. We're still looking into this but have some questions for a few of you in the meantime that should help us get to the bottom of it.

@AtLeastHalfRelieved Could you possibly send us url links to the images of the threads showing the differntly sized posts. We have you down as using a Galaxy S10 with Chrome - just also wanted to confirm that was correct.

@BruceAndNosh It looks like the font size is smaller for edited posts. Is that correct? If so, could you share a link to a thread where that's happening?

@ceecee32 Could you let us know what device and browser you're using and also share screenshots and urls to the threads where this is happening?

Thanks everyone. We'll be back as soon as we've any news on this.

Dussa · 24/01/2024 10:01

Mine is normal for non-edited posts and tiny for edited posts.
Android phone, mobile site.

Dussa · 24/01/2024 10:04

As in this -

Writing a post, then writing a second identical post which I edit

BruceAndNosh · 24/01/2024 11:25

Yup. It's the editing for me, so nothing I can do to change it.
Up to you @LilyMumsnet !

No I can't send screenshots, because the issue is that all posts are now in the tiny typeface!!

Like @Dussa showed you is how it used to appear, and now they're all in the smaller font.

And yes, S10 and latest Chrome.

Just like this, except now every post is in the tiny size.

Hi OP

Are you unable to grab a screenshot of a Mumsnet thread, just so we can see how the font is appearing for you? It would be really helpful as we haven't been able to replicate this yet.

I posted two screenshots showing what I mean several days ago, are they not what you need? Dussa has also posted a couple which I've said above are also a perfect representation of what I am referring to.
