Oh, I get it. If there is an ad, then it makes the quote skip many lines (cause it doesn't resize the text correctly, or at all). If it isn't a quote and there isn't an ad then it just appears normally (the text is just moved to the left of the ad).

Yes, it's the ads. I know we have to have them, but couldn't we restrict them to just the r.h. margin instead of actually in people's posts?

Can you post a full-page screen shot? Or better yet a LINK to a thread where it is happening and instructions on how to reproduce? I am not seeing this.

So you can see the ad at the bottom, one with a regular post, and one with a quote. The one with a quote is messed up. Text doesn't re-flow.

Tech suggests that your screen resolution may be set too low when this happens. Do you know what your resolution is?

1920X1080. But when I change the zoom factor that makes a difference. At 125% on Chrome it doesn't re-flow. At 110% it is fine.

Answer from tech is that the quotes work better on mobile when they are narrower than they used to be. They're set to the max width they can be set to right now without creating formatting havok across the page.

Why do quotes work better on mobile when they're narrower? I looked at some posts that had quotes in them & then discussion of what was being quoted & the display of what's being typed/discussion, such as I'm doing w/ this paragraph (to use as an example). The quote is shorter, but what is being displayed outside of the quote (aka, the response) still flows across full-screen, so I don't understand how having the quote slimmer makes any difference if the full width is going to display for the part that's being written that's not a quote.

I checked how it displayed on my tablet as well as my laptop. The tablet displays just like the laptop does & how I explained above/shown as an example. I have difficulty displaying FT on my cell phone to begin w/, so maybe someone else can look at this post on their phone & see if the quote margins and the discussion margins line up or if quote is slimmer than the discussion.

Cheers.
