I'm lost on this new site. Tapatalk doesn't work anymore? What are the current options for mobile?

The new site uses a responsive design built for desktop, tablet, and mobile. The experience is different on each device. 

 

As I mentioned earlier, I'm struggling to find a business case to turn Tapatalk on. 

Thanks for your reply. I'm using the Chrome browser on my phone. Doesn't look like a typical mobile site. More like a full size site. Text is small so I have to stretch to expand and move the page to read it.

Actually, the text seems small on my notebook screen too. So much wide open space. I feel like I'm at Nordstrom.

It works fine for me in Chrome on both phone and tablet.

Maybe you have better eyes than me. I'm not crazy about this new format. When I zoom in,  I still see a wide margin on the right side of the screen.

HELP! How do I NOT receive an email every time some makes a post!!

I think I found the setting to stop the deluge.

I still don't see enough contrast. And text is too small.

I know I don't come here as frequently. Not sure why you felt the need to change it. I thought it was okay before.

I still seem to find the pages and text light and a bit blurry compared to the old site.

I've tried CA with a few different browsers now and thought about the issue I'm having with the text. Most browsers render washed out looking text with this new dynamic HTML thing.

 

I remember in Windows XP, Internet Explorer used a technology called ClearType to improve text rendering. At the time I compared other browsers and felt IE did the best job.

 

Now that I've tried it again I still think IE renders the text better than other browsers. It's sharper, darker and just easier on the eyes.

On the browsers that I've tried, the right side margin is empty and all the ads look tiny and are bunched up at the top?

This is using IE 11

When you scroll down the page it seems like it's all wide open space.

Everything is displaying correctly. 

I guess you live out in the country. But to me it seems like wasted real estate.

I don't know what the statistics are for traffic on this site but the new format definitely affects my desire to come here. I've been to this site maybe twice in two months. I still find it difficult to read and don't feel that I'm getting used to it.

 

The reason I'm here today is because I checked Google news this morning and they've done the same thing. Supposedly they offer a setting so one can go back to the classic view. If they get rid of that option then I'll be looking for another source for my news.

I'm getting slammed with notifications too. My notification settings haven't changed

What makes this happen? Does the code for the site become corrupted??
