Message boards messed up on iPhone

[dunebugg]

Woke up this morning to do my usually perusal of new threads on my iPhone 4. The message boards have become very difficult to read! The font looks like its size has increased but without spacing being fixed. Tried browser close and phone on/off to see if it was on my end but did not resolve. Using latest version of Safari on iOS5.

Issue only appears on the message boards, not anywhere else on the site.

Also happens on my iPad when I "open in new tab", but not if I open a page on the same tab. Odd.

I've cleared cache and it doesn't help. Using an iPhone 3 with Safari. Close to illegible and bad enough that I've pretty much given up on reading Paizo forums on phone. Problem is in the spacing between lines. It's very close when reading messages and overlaps when viewing the forum message lists. Buttons for spoilers are truncated as well.

Same problem here. Iphone 4 with iOS 5, safari browser.

[Axolotl]

Same problem and specs as Jacob. (and OP)

[Mikaze]

Dem circular spoiler buttons.

Spoiler:

For those having the same issue.

Sorry, this is a known issue with older versions of the iPhone software and we'll get it straightened out today.

[Axolotl]

More incentive for me to back up my photos and install iOS6, then. :D

iOS6 is a monster. I don't want to use Apple maps :(

Nexus 4 comes out in a couple weeks, I will upgrade then.

Sorry if you guys are aware....
My phone is still buggin'. I'm using ios4. Does the new problematic large messaeboard font still occur with ios5 ?

[Marc Radle]

Yeah, it's still terrible on my iPhone as well. Last I heard Gary and Co planned on getting it fixed on Monday.

[Gary Teter]

We're rolling out a change that we're hoping will help appearance on iPhones over the next half hour or so.

[Haladir]

Good to hear. I'm on iOS6, and it started happening to me about an hour ago.

Feedback from my ios4: Text in posts doesn't seem to be so big anymore (though still larger than it was originally???), but is monumentally large for "Last post" and "by xxx" in the "Recent threads in..." section down below there. Hope this helps! :)

[Gary Teter]

We call those oversized novelty fonts!

Yeah, I noticed that. That little box escaped my gaze. The original plan went a little south when ios5/4 couldn't agree with ios6 on how to render font adjustments so the other way is a little more picky and easy to miss something. Should have a fix tomorrow sometime.

So, checking out the boards this morning on my iPhone 4S w/ iOS6...

The messageboard index pages looking better. But now there's a new issue.

When I read a post and then hit the "back" arrow to return to the index page, it displays in a HUGE font, and zooming out appears to be disabled. Clicking on one of the links in the breadcrumb trail at the top or bottom of the thread page makes the index display properly.

That might be a bug with iOS 6. Is it consistent? It doesn't seem to happen with iOS 4. All of those numbers are set in actual pixels so I can't think of anything that would do that unless it was bypassing the stylesheet altogether or it's being otherwise weird.

Changes look good with iPhone 3 w/Safari.

[Oceanshieldwolf]

Looking good on my ios4. Novelty font is history. Thanks for your good work!

Hi, Lissa.

Thanks for checking on this. It was consistent at the time I wrote the post, and for several hours afterward, but it's working fine now.

Thanks again!
