Why won't my screen shrink?

In Chrome, go to settings -> accessibility, and move “text scaling” slider.

Didn’t help. Facebook isn’t giant. Looks like it’s just fluther

Are you using the mobile site on your tablet? I’d recommend using the full site. It works great on tablets.

How do I do that?

fluther

You’re a freaking miracle worker tom! Thank you!

How did u do that?

At the bottom of the fluther page (either mobile or desktop) there are links for mobile or desktop. This allows you to toggle.

What it does is…

http://www.fluther.com/?use_desktop=1 = use the full, desktop version.
http://www.fluther.com/?use_desktop=0 = use the mobile version (if you are on mobile as well).

So, back to that text scaling thing in Chrome’s settings. Make sure you set it back to 100% if you had changed it. You might notice that the text scaling percentage is respected in the full, desktop version of fluther.

I see it.never noticed it before. Thanks so much!

But YOU changed MY screen.how did you do that? I mean I clicked on your fluther link and viola! My screen changed.

Because that link labeled “fluther” was actually….

http://www.fluther.com/?use_desktop=1

control + makes it larger

control – makes it smaller

OK I logged out and back in and it was giant again. I went to the bottom and tried to select mobile and it wouldn’t let me. I had to go back to your link to get back to normal.

@Dutchess_III: “I had to go back to your link to get back to normal.”

Lesson learned. Always follow my links. :)

Choose the option for “Desktop” version. I hate the mobile version on a tablet.

I dont have a Ctrl key. Its a touch screen.

@Dutchess_III ” I went to the bottom and tried to select mobile and it wouldn’t let me.”

That’s because you were probably already in mobile. You need to select “desktop” to get the desktop version @tom_g linked. Do you have it so that you stay logged into Fluther every time you visit? If so, selected “Desktop site” while you’re logged in should save that setting for you. If not, you’ll just have to switch it every time, I guess. If all else fails, replace your bookmark for Fluther with @tom_g‘s link and it’ll automatically go to the desktop version each time.

Another way to switch between mobile and desktop is the URL:
www.fluther.com is the full screen version
i.fluther.com is the mobile version
I’ve always just typed in the address bar to change between www/i when I wanted to change versions. That way, you won’t have to keep looking for the post with tom’s link.

@livelaughlove21 I’m home now, to my wondrous keyboard and desk top. The tablet wasn’t even mine so I don’t know how it’s set and I don’t want to try to screw with it by tapping on the screen.

You were right…it WAS already on mobile (which is the one I don’t like) and it switched when I tapped to desktop. The thing that was confusing was “desktop” was highlighted and “mobile” wasn’t so I assumed it was was on desktop, but it wasn’t. It was on mobile. I simply want everyone to be as confused as I was!

That screen tapping is for the birds. I feel like I’m trying to work with 8.5 fingers tied behind my back and the ½ that’s left keeps hitting different stuff that I don’t want it to hit.
