Yep. Revise sorts it out, but it's obviously something noted. So, it's noted for Mark

So I don't think it's the site change. Yes, the revise makes it work. May be a timing issue with the results screen and the return from the DB query completing.

So it does not respect "request desktop site" as it should; it merely automatically resizes everything for you, if you like it or not.

Did you try it? What happens on desktop when you make the window smaller is actually also expected when designing a responsive website, and it is not a contradiction to what happens when you request desktop site on a mobile device.

When I request desktop on my mobile device, it should give me the same view as desktop (with the ability to zoom out), just like the old version of the website does. The new version does not respect that request as it automatically sizes it for you. It's a user-hostile method of designing for mobile, IMHO...For folks who used the mobile site anyway before (or have a large screen), doubtless they don't care.

It should allow zooming in now without changing your browser settings.
Quote from: gongora on 10/16/2019 04:52 pmIt should allow zooming in now without changing your browser settings.Thanks! Half-done.Still can't zoom out, though. It maybe should be a forum setting, since some people might prefer it one way or the other.
Is it possible to block someone here? I don't see an option for it in the profile section.
Now the question: When is going to be available the "night" or "dark" theme? The site is "too" white for me. I work in IT, and I have every tool on dark/knight themes because my eyes. I'd like to have the possibility with the forum.

There are some quirks though. It's not meant for GA yet.Profile > Modify Profile > Look and Layout > Dark forum theme.
