Anyone else experience this?
Android, Chrome browser. Click into a post, a third of the screen (vertical) is a really dark blue, the text impossible to read.
This a settings issue? |  |

Same here. Just decided to get used to it and tried to find a laptop to actually read the forum. I think if I reload the page, sometimes, it fixes the problem, temporarily. |  | | |

Will refer to techie, you've got to flag these things up because if it doesn't happen to me (which this one doesn't) I've no way of knowing otherwise. |  | | |

Just switched phones fron a Nokia lumia to Samsung A3 and i'm getting the same. Im also getting more ads popping up in between the forum index and posts. I know Clive needs the beer money but it is a bit distracting.
Also, are we back to shorter pages again? |  |

Ye I've had this as well. Half the text goes onto the background and makes it a bit difficult to read. Happens intermittently and solved by going landscape, so never been a major issue. |  | | |

No problems here.
A/ put another 50p in
B/ bang the side of it
C/ shouting, using a an upper middle class accent works wonders. | |

Yes back to 25 posts per page, I do believe. No idea why but it does mean the Frankie Fred is back up to 140 pages so that's good news. |  |

I get the same on Samsung Galaxy S5, but not on all posts and it's very annoying but haven't done any analysis of frequency or nature of occurrence. I think this came up once before on LFW and someone had a solution that related to ad blocker and screen rotation...? I think? |  | | |

Used to get an issue where certain threads would be half blanked out on mobile so you'd have to highlight the page to see the text. Since the update to the Samsung S7 o/s though, this don't seem to happen anymore. |  | | |

I occasionally also get this issue with Chrome on my Sony Z5 as well. Hope they can fix it! |  |

Same here, on multiple phones but always chrome browser.
It doesn't happen to every thread I think it's just those with large images or long unbroken words that make the page go wider but the white strip remains the same width so the text then overlaps with the background. |  | | |

Yeah it's the same on my phone - Sony Xperia Z5 - just thought it was down to me being useless with phones. Has been like it for a while. |  | | |

Get this as well, but not always.
I can sometimes as above change to landscape and back, or reload by clicking on forum, let t load fully (vertically) and then clicking in.
It's definitely odd. | |

Wish I'd raised this myself. Just thought I had a dodgy phone. Been happening for a year maybe longer. I'm on Android. Thanks for highlighting it. Thought it was just me. Be great if it could be sorted, cheers |  | | |
