This is the only forum I frequent that does not like to display well on a phone.
Using chrome on an android phone.
It seems to always be to wide. If I hold the screen vertical I have to keep scrolling side to side to read.
If I turn the phone sideways its almost readable but the txt is to small. If I zoom in to make the txt bigger them I'm back to side to side scrolling to read.
Is there a setting I'm missing?
I would take a picture but I have yet to come up with a quick photo host since photobucket got all high and mighty.

Go to the three dots in the top right hand corner of the browser. From the drop-down see if "Request deaktop site" is checked. Uncheck it.
Also, you can do the pinch-or-spread thing to zoom out or in.
Finally, rotate your phone to landscape orientation.

Some years back I had an HTC Thunderbolt Android phone that worked great. No side-to-side scrolling because each window wrapped text perfectly.
Now, with my Samsung G4, I have the same problem as never_retreat. Unchecking 'Request desktop site' was one of the first things I tried and it did not help. Anyone have some other ideas that one might try on an Android phone?

When I was on Android I used the Dolphin browser for forums. It seemed to be the best at wrapping text to avoid side to side scrolling.
