tiny text on DS forums
Puterkid
08-12-2013
Since the changes to DS I can't read the forums on DS. I can get on the main site, but when I go to forums, it's more like a page overview. No other websites do this, so it's not my phone set up. I can't find any option to change the page display. It's no doubt something simple, but I'm a complete dinosaur with technology most of the time.

Any suggestions appreciated

There's a mobile view in the template dropdown at the bottom of every forum page.

My username is ironic

Thanks for suggestions, but I can't find the template drop down because I can't read anything or click on anything

OK, I take it back, managed to locate the template drop down, but seems I have to select mobile every time I open a new thread or move forums - very frustrating!

Posting this in the correct forum might be a decent start

bookmark http://forums.digitalspy.com?styleid=54 on your phone and use that. NB if you go there on your computer it will remember that choice and you'll have to clear cookies.

Wrong on both counts! :P

Firstly, bad link. It has to be http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/?styleid=54

Secondly, you don't need to clear your cookies, you just need to scroll down and click the "View Desktop Site" button at the bottom.

Or just click the 'change to desktop view' button.

Thanks but still no luck, it loads, get tiny print, but can make out error 408 or 403?
