[BUG, FIXED] Font Preference

[Cinnabon]

I keep resetting my font size to Extra Large, but every couple days it reverted back to medium.  Is there a way to stop this?

Can you let me know what device, browser, and OS you are using please. Also, which theme are you using?

@Cinnabon Are you still experiencing this issue? If so when was the most recent incident?

Yes, it happens every few days. I set my font preference to to Extra Large, and 4-5 days later, it reverts back to Medium.

Hmm, strange. I can't reproduce the problem and as nobody else has reported experiencing the same, it's not a bug as such. 

Just want to check, to eliminate the obvious first - have you tried clearing your cache, logging out and in again from the site, restarting your device?

Yes, I’ve tried that. It happens with my iPad also. But it’s not a huge problem, so thanks for taking a look.

I have the same problem, actually, on Mac OS 11.6, Safari 14.1.2.

[Meredith Quill]

Apologies for the delay, will ping the dev about it.

[Meredith Quill]

Haven't forgotten this, however, our dev has been unavailable for a while so all we can do in the meantime is wait.

Are you both still experiencing this issue?

Yes. When I change my font size to extra large, it always reverts back to medium within a week or 2. On both my iPhone and iPad.

When I change font size to large it always reverts to medium when going back later.

[Corgi-ears]

Nope. It (font changing to medium though large is my choice) happened again today.

I'm on Mac OS 11.6, Safari 14.1.2

[Meredith Quill]

We have a pending update which the dev tells me will fix this issue. ETA soon-ish?

[Cinnabon]

This is still happening for me.

That's "Developer" soon-ish.

[Cinnabon]

This is still happening for me. My preference was extra large, and just now on my iPhone it reverted back to medium again. This happens every few days.

I came looking for a thread about this - another extra large font user here. Mine always reverts back to medium (I think). This has been happening since one of the updates a couple years ago when we first got this option. The last time it happened to me was as I was coming to the site just now. I'm on a Mac, running the most updated OS and using Safari as my browser.

Should be resolved when the new theme is released (font size stuff is different there)

[fishcakes]

I'm having the same problem, but only since the new theme was installed. With the old theme, it would only revert to Normal size when I cleared cookies. Now I set font size to Larger, but every time I click back to the home page, the font size returns to Normal, even though the Larger box is still checked. So I have to set it to Normal then back to Larger, but again, it only lasts as long as I don't return to the Home page.

 PC Windows 8.1 (I know), Firefox 108.0.1

I am having font issues as well. I have it selected to the largest size. It reverts back every time I change to a new page. Even if I stay on the same forum/topic. I am on iPhone 12 with the newest iOS version. I have restarted my phone, cleared cache, and logged out and back in. 

[Corgi-ears]

I have the same problem as @fishcakes. My font size keeps going to "normal" even when it shows that I've selected "larger."  

I'm on Mac OS 11.6.8, Safari 14.1.2.

I recently logged in for the first time since the site was revamped.  When I choose Manage Followed Content, my list of followed Topics shows up first, as before.  However, the width of the Topic Title column is extremely narrow, displaying no more than 2 characters.  For example, Friends shows up as

F

ri

e

n

d

s (sans the line spacing).

A really long title, such as Shows That Died Before Their Time, extends the entire length of my laptop's screen.  I don't have this problem when displaying Forums that I follow.  There I see, for example,

Ted

Lasso (sans the line spacing).

Is there a way to widen the title display for Topics I follow?  

[Meredith Quill]

This should now be resolved as of today. Going to archive this topic but if anyone has the same issue in future, please start a new one, thanks.
