I browse the site on my iPhone and everything is too big now. It means I have to constantly scroll down as I can only get about 9 lines on my 2 inch screen. Is there any way to change it?
We’re finding there are some bugs with the mobile overlay implementation, as in it’s not overlaying the base interface correctly, resulting in oddly sized text. We’re working on getting the interface fixed as fast as possible.
Me too. None of the skins work properly on my iPhone. All the buttons are floating somewhere at the top (and have different shapes too, some are rounded, some have sharper edges), my icon is as big on my phone as it is on my screen at home, and the margins squish everything this way and that way, which means browsing is next to impossible. If I want to read a story, I have to switch to the html version under Download to get anything readable. On the other hand, it looks great on my home screen.
Android (HTC Desire S) is much the same -- the buttons are all over the place, and this is the DEFAULT skin. Considering I reported these issues through a Staffer earlier in the year when this was pre-test deploy, I am not happy.
I am sorry to hear that - we do have bugs with the mobile overlay implementation. We’re working on getting this interface fixed as fast as possible.
Also, I apologize that your comments were unheeded. There will most likely be more testing done on it soon, so if you'd like to sign up as a Tester, go ahead and contact Volcom!
I'm sorry that you're having to use the download to view it correctly. We’re finding there are some significant bugs with the mobile overlay implementation, as in it’s not overlaying the base interface correctly, resulting in oddly sized buttons and strange overlaps. We’re working on getting this interface fixed as fast as possible.
I agree, the site now looks really bad on my iPod. I can't read in this format and even browsing is difficult because everything is so big now it takes tons of scrolling.

Also chiming in to say that the site looks bloody huge now on my iPad with Safari as well. Like, there are barely any sentences that don't get wrapped into two lines or more. It seems like the site is convinced I'm using a smartphone or something and trying to compensate for what it thinks is a really small screen. I gave up on the skins and just started using a Readability bookmarklet. Would love to do away with that though and just return to how ao3 used to display fics.
The Coders are working on an emergency fix-and-deploy for the mobile site bugs as we speak, and are hoping to have it out within the day. Hopefully that should fix it!
It still looks the same to me so I'm guessing the deployed fix-it didn't work. (I'm mostly all right with how the site looks on my laptop however.) Still, thanks very much for the reply. Hope you guys haven't been cursed out too much by irate fanficcers. :p
As they tend to do, the fix is seeming to need another fix (especially for tablets), but our Coders are still working hard at it! If you have any specific questions, let us know!
