'Notices' behaviour when changing font size - Firefox Android

Amalgam · 27-03-2017 09:51PM #1

Apologies, I'm not quite sure where to post this, it could just be open ended ramblings..

I use the 'Full Site' on a Nexus 5, running Firefox 52.0.1.

Quite often, I'm not logged in, I like it like that..

I like to change the font size, the problem is, the 'Notices' box, welcoming new users (seemingly getting bigger by the day) seems to be the only part of the page affected by the settings in Firefox, for increasing font size.

It gets priority, the normal page below, typically the part I'm interested in, remains tiny.

Could a small 'x' be included in the corner of the 'Notices' box, to allow, members, not logged in for whatever reason, and newcomers alike, to close the box off.

Thanks for your time.

Moving this to site development, as it's more of a technical issue.

Yes, the Notice for logged out / new users has gotten bigger. Hopefully some of the info there helps new users get to grips with the site and possibly encourage them to explore and sign up. This may be something we have to review.

Thanks for highlighting this issue. Even though it's set to be a dismissible notice, that doesn't seem to be applicable if you're not logged in. Will look into this further.

Followed up on this. It seems there is a table that stores dismissed notices - however, it needs both the noticeid and the userid. I believe it would be possible to add a button to close the notice, but it will bring you to a login screen, which isn't ideal.
