Flyertalk Autoshrinking pages

When opening or moving to another page of a thread, FT autoshrinks the page and displays it at the far left at 20~35% of full screen view.
This happens using Chrome on iPad using desktop mode.

Must have been a glitch -- not happening now for me in Safari for iPhone 6.

Mine shrinks to about 10% using Safari on iPad Air. Happens about 50% of the time, and "pinching out" doesn't work but about 10% of the time.

Still happening. Me thinks it is related to the banners on the right side of each page.

Auto-shrink still happening. Using iPad Air with Safari in "desktop mode" because mobile site is still a disaster.

Still happening! Really a pain. Please fix this issue. I agree with Dieuwer that it is likely the ads causing the issue.

Hi guys, we're working on the resizing and think we've got it. Two questions to help us out:
1. Is this occurring while logged in or only while logged out?
2. Can anyone post screenshots? Specifically, you're seeing the right-side ads push the the posts over, correct?

This surprised me because I never saw any "disruptive" content on the side that was pushing the main content aside. I hope you will find a solution quickly because this is very annoying.

Can anyone post screenshots of this in occurrence? It appears to be different from our initial thoughts (where it was linked to being logged in/out).

I logged out briefly to get a screenshot of it - you'll notice how much white space there is to the right of the ad on the right side. This was with Safari on iPhone 5S.
