81. my phone view of homepage has degraded

Fri Dec 1, 2023, 05:42 PM

Dec 2023

When DU4 first appeared the view on my phone of the home page cropped off about 3 characters along the right edge of the titles and text. Once I went to a forum the right edge was normal. Yesterday the new version gave me a home page with three full columns wide with text so small I cannot read it. If I go to one of the tabs the left column disappears but there is still a narrow column on the right. The text is a little bigger but still to small to comfortably read. I cannot find the purported sidebar collapser. I dumped the cache and cookies from my phone and restarted it to no avail. I also went into settings and switched to large fonts. That also had no effect. So from my current standpoint the newest update is a big negative.
