Just installed an update to Android on my HTC Hero and when I view the PH mobile pages it looks like it's zoomed in. Never used to do this and I can't zoom out. All other web pages are fine with small text.

Any reason for this your end?

Looks identical on my Ipod Touch and my (updated firmware) HTC Hero.

I think that's just the way the mobile site is formatted for mobile.

The browser and screen on the Hero is sufficiently good that I just access the full site with it...

We haven't changed anything at this end and don't have an android phone to test it on. Is it possible for you to post a screenshot?

Sorry for the delay.

I can't work out if it was like this before the OS update, or if it was my settings, but when using the mobile site the text is quite big. The normal site has much smaller text which is easier to read (less scrolling!).

Not sure if I am going mad but I thought it was smaller on the mobile version... any chance of that as an option? For some reason I can't shrink it to smaller text frown

We try and make the text writing on mobile devices bigger as the screen is smaller and thus harder to see normal website text. Though with the thousands of different types of phones out there it is hard to get the site spot on for each one, we are continuing to monitor the response of the mobile site and will add your requests onto our list for the next iteration of the mobile site.

Cheers! The more I use it the more I wonder if it was the same before and it's just my imagination... It would be nice to be able to shrink it down if required I suppose...
