DU4 issues on Android phone, possible bugs.

[CaptainTruth]

I mentioned in another thread having some issues with DU4 on my Android phone (Android 13), here are the details. First, I want to say great job on the new site, it looks great & has some useful new features! I know a lot of work went into it & I want to acknowledge & applaud that.

1) This is what I see when I load the home page. I can't even see two whole items. Large Fonts is off, but the headlines are huge. My browser (Chrome) zoom is set to 125% to make the text in posts & replies easier to read. If I reduce browser zoom to make the size of the headlines reasonable, posts & replies become difficult to read. I'd love to be able to reduce the font size of the headlines to something reasonable so two headlines don't take up half my screen. The same size as the text below the headline, controlled by browser zoom, in bold would be great.



2) This is related to the first item. You can see the discrepancy in font size between the headline at top & the items under Trending Discussions. I'd be totally happy if there was an option to make the headlines & text under them the same size as the items in Trending Discussions. It would be a more compact layout allowing more info to be onscreen with less scrolling.



3) The next two pics illustrate something I'm seeing across multiple posts & it seems like a bug. All the responses to one OP will have the title & body text in the same font size, while all the responses to the next OP will have a title font size that's smaller than the body text. It seems to be random, but repeatable for any given OP.





4) This may be a related bug, not sure. In Account Settings it appears that my browser zoom is being applied to the text for Skinner Mode & Day/Night Cycle, but none of the other text in Settings.



5) I've seen others mention this, & it's bothering me too, the amount of empty space in thread replies. It immediately took me back to my days of importing docs into Word & writing macros to remove all the extra carriage returns, & that wasn't a happy time. [insert laughter here] Are we looking at extra /p's than can be removed?





Any suggestions on these items would be appreciated, thanks!

1. A number of these issues could potentially be fixed by

reducing the font size on your phone, and then switching to Large Fonts on DU, which you get to like so:

Click My Stuff > Account Settings and then on the Account Settings page, scroll down to the "Visual appearance" section. Set "Use large fonts" to "Yes" and click the "Save all settings" button.

That will increase the size of text on the site, WITHOUT also increasing the size of the headlines. So that might work better for you.

See if that fixes any issues for you, and let me know.

2. Ok thanks! That does make it better.

The first home page headlines are still huge, but I'll cope, not a big deal.

And to clarify I thought my Chrome setting was Browser Zoom, but it's not, it's Text Scaling, so it doesn't zoom in the whole browser window, it just increases the size of text. Setting it down to 100% & using Large Fonts gets me back to about where I was with Text Scaling at 125%, which is easily readable.

Thanks!!!
