... Threads get even more OT while we discuss whether or not they are on topic enough...

...you find yourself philosophizing about time in a G'day thread. lol

You know you're on MobileRead when people are debating whether ebooks are 'real' books or not as opposed to paper books. (I imagine that debate will never quite die).

The font size keeps changing. Seriously guys, I can barely read some posts and it does change from post to post so I'm fairly certain it's not my device

Huh?
This is not the Vent and Rant thread, so I fear you may not get as many sympathetic eyes as you otherwise could.
I have seen occasional newbie posts where people add font/size bbcode, it looks really weird... and is equally rare. None of that is in this thread.

That's odd .... they are all the same size font on my Mac's screen.

Which device are you using? The font size is stable throughout on my Galaxy Note, Macbook and Windows PC. I'll check my Nook Tablet... *checking* Yup, it's stable.

Did I accidentally give the impression that I thought you did?

Any problem will be local to your computer. You can verify that by quoting a problem post so you can see the bbcode used... as I am sure you know.

Problems with your computer/browser settings belong in the Other thread. I assumed you accidentally posted to the wrong thread, happens to the best of us.

You're so completely wrong.
Thanks for the misinformation.

Malware can cause all sorts of problems. I think that's what eschwartz meant kindlekitten.

eschwartz · 02-01-2015, 06:54 PM

I meant I haven't got the faintest clue why it is happening, but if it is between her computer and the MobileRead website, a bunch of people can confirm it isn't MobileRead.

She is welcome to believe otherwise if it makes her happy...

True. People do have that habit alas. It probably is something on her computer though. And that more often than not means malware now days.

You know you are on MobileRead when a thread about being on MobileRead is, more often than not, not.
