At first I thought there was something wrong with the site because the layout, the green background displayed strangely in my browser (PC running Chrome). In the Edge browser the page looked okay. Odd? After it was suggested to me to clear the browser cache I see everything is fixed. Better in fact, as now this forum is much more readable on my mobile device. Thanks to the admin team for the updates. If anyone else is experiencing any strange layouts clear the cache and everything should be good.

I.e., if you are experiencing website layout issues since the past few days, just hit Crtl+F5 (on a PC) for a full refresh.

Cleared Cache, Ran CCleaner, tried Ctrl-F5, same ol, same ol big font. Been like that for 3/4 days now ?

Using Win-10 with latest Fall Creators Update and Edge. All other sites appear as they should.

In most any modern browser,
CTRL plus a + makes one size larger font
CTRL plus a - makes one size smaller
CTRL plus 0 returns page to the page designer default

+1 to Steve_S's comment. I've tried two different computers, with both I.E. 11 and Chrome 62 browsers, and it's messed up on all of them. Clearing cache's did not have any effect.

does it look messed up on the ipad?

I have used 2 different Win10 PC with both Chrome and Edge browsers as well as my Huawei Android media pad (8").

After cache clearing, on the PC's it looks pretty much as it used to, except the std font presents larger. I adjusted that to suit myself. On the Huawei Android when viewed with the display vertical it drops the left sidebar and fills the screen to be an easy read. With the disdplay horizontal the green sidebar is presented on the left like it always has. But the font seems larger, which is very good.

apple ipad help I don't have an ipad so I have no idea if that actually helps.

Definitely something different with the site. I've tried multiple PC's, multiple browsers, on multiple networks.... Formatting/sizing is all askew.

On my tablet the page is a little too wide. When viewing a topic page for example, the last letter on the right is sometimes not completely visible. A small thing but probably enough to fail the google mobile test. Better than before though by a long ways. I used to avoid viewing this forum much on the tablet as it presented too small to read without doing a finger pinch zoom, wipes, zoom back etc. Now I actually prefer the tablet as the left sidebar ads are not there. That probably bothers Google mobile test too. But they are picky.

Yeah, that is what I had on my PC Chrome browser before dumping its cache. The android never had that problem for some reason. Maybe because I turn it off every night? I have no idea.

There is a "reload" icon right next to site name - hit it - it should fix the large green menu problem.
