What the hell happened?

I want my simplified version back for my phone.

Update, I was able to go back in my tabs in my phone and grab the previous version that worked better on my phone. Hopefully this helps others if it happens to you. thanks.

1. What format change?

We have not made any changes to the format beyond adding a new ad placement on desktop today, which does not affect phones…

Can you tell me what you’re seeing?

Yikes!

11. it's a phone thing

whenever I access DU via my phone, the pages look weird as the words are all out of proportion (very small).

I tried viewing via Firefox and my regular phone browser and it's the same.

14. It's like I'm in computer page mode

I used to get a simplified phone version. Around noon today it switched on me. hmmm?

19. If possible, please take a screenshot of your phone screen while on DU

If you have an iPhone you can do that by pressing the power button and volume up button at the same time. The screenshot will go into your photo gallery -- please email it to me at [email protected]

If you don't have an iPhone, see if you can do a search for how to take a screenshot on your particular model.

6. Try hitting refresh repeatedly until it comes back to normal

I had the issue a couple of months ago, but seems to be okay now.

Sometimes when I change to another thread the print on my iPad becomes soooooo tiny.
