To confirm the above, I was able to switch to desktop and then back to mobile with no problems, but I can see how it can be confusing for someone. However, it is possible. Hopefully everyone is able to fix it.
Site looks off
Yea on mobile now and it seems functional.
Maybe it takes getting used to but it's definitely not as nice as before.
Don't see any options while I'm doing this post, emojis, links, etc. No way to post pics.

Wish I could post a pic but I can't. For me personally, it's much easier and quicker to zoom in and out on what I want than this way.

Whatever was done, I would switch it back.
I can't see myself using this. And I'm guessing cricket feels the same.
Respectfully, maybe having a strong opinion like that 30 seconds or so into trying it is not giving things a fair shake, for all the reasons mentioned above.Just swap "30 seconds" for "five minutes," I guess.
I'd really like people to actually try this for a bit before dismissing it, otherwise I can't even really consider it feedback.
The mobile style could be a lot better, and I can definitely work with people to make it better and add the crucial things it might need but doesn't have. But that's going to mean actually trying it out and seeing how it feels, rather than dismissing it immediately because it's simpler or just different.

My problem with the site today is that the font is too big & I can’t seem to make it smaller.
EDIT: general note to no one in particular, though, to start new threads for other site concerns. I don't want this thread to become a general "whatever I wish were different" thread. It's specifically about the mobile tech stuff.

That said, the stuff that's cumbersome because it's missing, that I can help with/fix over time. If we're talking about missing buttons that make posting easier, embed images, et cetera. I could definitely use some good, considered, real-world feedback about that.

Before I could see a lot of stuff on my screen. Now a post takes up my whole screen. People like that?

On mobile, the Manage Attachment button doesn't appear as an option unless you click Preview to see your post. The newly loaded screen provides the attachment option. The trade off is if you've made an edit, you can't re-preview as that button is now gone.
But it is available.

Are you using desktop or mobile? If it's desktop normal font size options/zoom should work. Works on Chrome here, at least.

I can see about adding the Preview button to edit, too. Though again, a lot of this is academic if people's issues are "I like everything being very zoomed out on desktop" rather than "mobile could work if you added some key features."

Whatever I usually use. Refresh my memory: how do I check which one I am using?

Like before I felt like I was connected to the whole site because I could see a lot. It's not like that at all now.

Again, I'm not sure what you mean by "see." You couldn't really see anything, because you couldn't read it. You needed to zoom on the post and have it take up most of the screen the same way to actually use the site.
This sounds very, very much like disorientation because a thing is new. Which, again, is common and normal and all that, but makes it very hard to judge anything immediately, which is why I'm asking people to try it rather than just react to a sudden change in the moment.

Maybe it’s because Since I first joined I have almost exclusively used my phone to visit this site, since I work a lot. But it doesn’t seem to be that much of a hindrance.
Hopefully you guys get more use to it.

That's almost definitely a huge part of it. I really can't emphasize enough how common this phenomena is. You can literally find people hating a change, then getting used to it, then hating a new change because it's not like the thing they used to hate.
It's not really wrong to have that reaction, either, if you've gotten very used to doing things a certain way, even if that way involves a ton of extra pinching and zooming and scrolling and wasted time. Most of it doesn't even register as a waste because it becomes second nature, and then different things just feel bad for reasons that can't even be put into words. Like when I used to have a slower computer and would just switch windows when waiting for something to load. After awhile it didn't even register as a problem...until I upgraded and got used to the faster ways.
And it's totally possible for it to be just as slow or slower at first, because things are new. The problem is, the only way to avoid that is never to change anything.

You could actually try the version of the site specifically built for the device you're using for more than a couple of minutes before giving up.
Obviously I can't make you, if you're simply determined not to. But that's obviously just a decision, rather than someone genuinely exhausting their options/not having any other choice.
