Discovered something new, well new to me that helps those who are on/off with reading specs!

In the forum, when inside a thread/topic, the browser offers a reader mode indicated by a serious of lines to the left of the site URL (igmaynard.co.uk). Tap the lines and the text is displayed uncluttered, large and plain. Tap lines again to revert to normal.

Looks like an iPhone thing (mine is iPhone 5) as works on other sites as well, like BBC.

Apologies to everyone whose known about this for yonks or those with perfect eyesight. Personally, I was quite excited at my accidental discovery.

Hi Chris,

Nice spot. I've had an iPhone for about 4 years and never noticed! I've always had to enlarge the screen to read the small print.

Cheers,

Mike

Good spot, didn't show the lines on my iPad at first so 'I requested a desktop site' and it fine.
