Text size on touch site

    I was wondering if there's any way to increase the text size on the touch site? I'm struggling to read the tiny text these days, despite using reading glasses, but increasing the text size in my mobile browser (Brave) has no effect. I can force enable zooming which helps but then I'm scrolling left and right and up and down all the time to read a post.

    Hi Alun,

    I'm afraid there's currently no way to increase the size of text on the Touch Site. This is a suggestion that we have listed as something that developers could look at, but unfortunately I don't have a timescale as to when this might be tackled.

    I did stumble upon the Dolphin 2019 browser. This does allow you to increase the size of text (tap the Dolphin at the bottom of the page and then the Settings cog icon). It's a little messy at times, because changing the size of text isn't something that's currently supported, but does magnify the text size.

    The native samsung browser allows it in a very user friendly manner.
