After the recent update I've been unable to change my theme, read threads properly due to overlapping words or complete sentences due to them ending abruptly due to the screen view being far too long. Plus the amount of kb needed to view a page has increased.
All this combined has left me unable to enjoy dakka as I once did and has stopped me from proof reading a friends story which he sent me in a P.M. Having to scroll from left to right for every sentence is mentally taxing and brakes my fu.

Can you please sort it out or at the very least sort out the screen size.

- I'm on my phone but I have switched it on and off to see if it would work.
- Yahoo browser and the Nokia E5-00
- None. It just reloads to same screen no matter which theme I choose.

Hrmph. You may need to wait for Lego to pop on by then.

I had some problem the other day on my tablet with the text on every page just being fethhuge. I changed it from the mobile theme to the regular one and that fixed it.

Not really the same problem as OP but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case.

Just wondering if there's a update on the situation?

I seem to be the only person for whom Dakka is not problematic to browse on a phone.

Is it just Dakka that's affected? Do other forums such as Warseer work fine?

If it is just Dakka, then does it affect every page? Are there any threads or posts it does not affect?

EDIT: For your proof-reading problem, why not just ask him to email it to you? There are plenty of ways around this issue for that purpose.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I have a similar problem with the overlapping text on a Galaxy S3 using the chrome browser. Just adding another device/browser to the list for eventual lego review I can usually manage, and if it is something I really want to read and can't I just email the thread to myself and read it on my computer another day.

I wish I had time for all the game systems I own, let alone want to own...

Sorry for the delay getting on to this - could you possibly provide some screenshots of the overlapping text?

There are a few glitches like this I've got a fix coming up for next month, but it is a slow process as fixing on one device breaks it on another.

Have you tried turning it on its side, assuming it's a phone with that sort of capability?

@ Avatar - It's a Nokia E-500 and doesn't have that function.

happy grunt has the screen shot for you lego. Also sometimes the end of paragraphs are cut off by the edge of the page and requires multiable reloads to fix. Still can't change my theme as well and on average it takes over five-hundred kb to load a page. It was around the three-hundred and sixty mark before.

These problems are beyond a joke now. I can't even read my P.M's as the right hand end of the sentence is not there. So I have to partly guess what they are saying, which becomes impossible if they have sent me a chapter of their fluff to read, I'm using your service less and less due to these unadressed problems. Will they be fixed?

They will get fixed eventually, but higher priority bugs which affect more people are being worked on at the moment. I actually just bought a Nokia windows phone to help me test this (along with the samsung S4 and ipad for ios), so things will improve, but it is a slow process.

You can help me debug by going here:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/core/test.jsp

and then copy/pasting the content from that page from JS: yes onwards back into this thread, along with a description of any consistent issues you have with your viewing experience on your phones.
