Whenever I try to zoom in on something on the new site it changes to what looks like an alternative skin.

The new skin seems to have a fixed zoom in place and annoyingly it's slightly larger than will fit on the screen so panning around is required to read anything.

Before and after pics below

The view adapts to the screen width, and the pinch and zoom will natively change that - so it then adapts to the mobile view.

A nice little challenge to our front end developers to sort so that zoom doesn't do this.

Just as long as the fix isn't disabling pinch to zoom like some sites do. An utterly hateful idea.

Agreed... one thing that the beloved mobile.pistonheads.com did!

I'm finding that if you zoom in on a page, you're not able to zoom back out again.
