Mysterious quirk: how this site is displayed in Safari on iPhone, random enlarged headline text? - guitarist - 09-16-2008

Any other iPhone/iTouch users notice an odd distortion of this site's appearance, how the list of headlines is a uniform size, but with a pointless exception, every 8-10 lines, a headline is HUGE, for no reason? I've wondered about that. Or is there a reason, and I'm misunderstanding why it displays that way?

Yes, no conclusion as to why last time it came up:

Can you take a screen shot and post it?

FWIW, I see the same thing.

Cool feature. Thanks for the link. I'll post a screen shot when I get to a hot spot (at work now).

It does that on my Touch too.

It's possible to take screen shots with an iPhone, I just don't remember how to do it.

Maybe the upcoming "new, improved" forum format will fix this bug?

I've seen it too on my iPhone....

I wonder if it's related to the iPhones scaling abilities?

Doh, posted in the older thread...Repost here:

Looks like it happens when the there are long subject lines and they wrap to two+ rows

Maybe the new forum fixes this???
