This has only started happening since I updated my.phone last night, but whenever I view a thread on my phone in chrome the font sizes are weird. Some posts will be fine and scales with my zoom and I can read the posts fine, but like every other post is tony in comparison.

I'm using the latest chrome and android OS.

Please take some screenshots and see if you can try to isolate when it happens.


Edit: Although to be clear, font size issues are pretty much relegated to specific browser issues, in that browsers allow you to change the size of font you see.

Here is a screen shot of this thread. As you can see, my post is pretty clear and easy to read (that is how 90% of dakka was to me no more than 2 days ago). Your post is barely readable. It seems as if the page isn't loading right, or scaling all of the text...

Yep, been having this for months. Possibly since I got my HTCOnex, pretty much when it came out.

Almost posted it here but it's not giving me any issues and I've pretty much forgotten about it now. It's been quite useful at times actually.

Worth a look though, good shout for posting it.

Just as an update, I'm fairly certain this is an issue with Chrome for Android.

As I'm not experiencing this issue with the default browser on my phone.

Nah i've used quite a few browsers and had the problem. I mainly use Firefox Mobile now.

Odd. Can you please go here:

and copy and paste the results so I can see if I can replicate. Is it pretty consistent or is it clearly linked to the way the page loads?

I tend to think the larger text appears more often on my posts, the OP's posts and particularly long posts. I haven't collected any data though so it might be that because those are the posts where I find it useful to see quicker I notice it more often.
