Yep, the header graphic is too wide. I can't view the source on my iPad but it would appear that it needs to be made a background image to alleviate the problem.

Update: just noticed that when the page loads initially that the page scales correctly to the screen width but then shrinks down so that everything is smaller. This suggests to me it is something loading after the forum framework like an ad placement or something.

I'm having the same problem w/ FT displaying on the Kindle Fire HD. When it first loads it seems to be normal & a split second later the font size goes small, everything shrinks & there's a lot of white space on the right hand side.

Cheers.

I'm having much worse issues today with the pages not displaying properly and not refreshing properly.

If it's happening across 3 different tablets then it's not a tablet issue, but has to do w/ the recent change by IB. Hopefully they can get it sorted very soon, as many of us now use tablets to surf FT/participate. Having the small font size & smaller display of threads is not conducive to keeping eyeballs on FT.

Cheers.

It's a formatting issue with the new header. Tech is working it and hopefully will have it resolved soon!

Looks like they didn't decrease the width of the header, but increased the width of the page. Now I have teeny tiny print on the screen. All the time.

Mine suddenly started working beautifully within the last half hour. The top banner goes exactly across the top and the font size is nice and comfortable once again, with exactly the available screen width being used for most threads. If I didn't want to jinx this, I would say perfect!

Thanks!
