It's fine on mine tbh. Moto G 3rd gen. Seeing the long running issue was a bit apprehensive when buying the phone, but it's been fine.

So when you're on My Stuff it's displaying properly at the bottom? Mine doesn't on both the old One M8 or my new Nexus 6P so it's not just the device.

Yep, not sure how to do a screen grab, but essentially there is a strip at the bottom of the screen with the buttons for back, home and open apps. Above that is the strip for forum, mystuff, what's new and preferences. Then the page content which can be scrolled up and down, the two strips mentioned staying at the bottom of the screen.

As I type this the Forum, mystuff etc strip just sits above the keypad. Which is a bit of a pain in landscape mode as it reduces the visible area for the message, but OK in portrait.

The whole shebang could be a lot better, no doubt, and it's been disappointing just how badly the development, introduction and bug sorting has been done, in many cases not done.

The issue seems to be regarding 'zoom' on the 'My Stuff' page (interestingly not on any of the others so it's a question of why this specific page is causing issues).

Here is the refreshed page, no zoom no nothing:



The page actually allows a little 'left-to-right' scrolling - look at the left-hand edge after I've swiped 'across' a little:



When I 'zoom out' on the page it then shows correctly:



It's very annoying and I agree with the massive buttons being a huge waste of screen space - especially in landscape mode. Personally I never use the 'Forum' button or 'Preferences' enough for it to need to be there all the time. My Stuff and What's New could be much smaller but I guess it's up to PH.

Mine looks like your bottom zoomed out image, zooming doesn't seem to work. Unless you open an image, then zooming in and out is OK.

Who knows frankly.

What browser do you use and do you prevent it from allowing websites to override your zoom settings?

I use the forum button a lot to switch between favourites and all forums. Never used the preferences button.

On the phone it's chrome installed by manufacturer. Phone less than a week old so still figuring out my way round things.

It also happens on desk top.. and is so frustrating... but is something we're trying to rectify

Same on my tablet, wish I had the mobile view on it, loads up quicker and looks a bit nicer

It's been another year.

This is still broken.

Carry on.
