    dunno what you did, but what I do on Firefox browser, is go to the little hamburger drop down menu, and push the + thing next to Zoom.

  5. I don’t know what happened.
    “Reader view”? came up
    The letters were larger and a different style.
    Could be my 6 year old I phone.
    It looked cool for a while.

    Unless I'm completely off base, that's a browser feature, not a H.A.M.B. feature. You can do that with any website. :)

    On Chrome, I just hold down the CTRL*****on and push the + to enlarge, - to shrink.
    Don't know on a phone.

    Totally lost. Feel like everyone is speaking Swahili ... or blindingly excited.

    .. & I'm still lost.

    On a phone, you touch the screen with your thumb and forefinger, and spread them apart. This is an expanded screenshot of an expanded screenshot. Screenshot_2020-02-23-20-04-03.png

    Or even simpler still on a desktop, hold the Ctrl key while rolling the scroll wheel on your mouse a click or two forward or backward. It seems to work this way with most browsers.
     
  15. I use safari
    There is an aA icon you can use to enable the reader view.
    However my phone is missing this for some reason.
    When I entered the HAMB earlier, it just popped up somehow.
    This is what I’m trying to figure out.
    The HAMB looked totally different as far as font and size.

    The problem with the phone is that it's only wide enough for 7-8 words as it is, if you made the text bigger you'd only get 3 words across and heaven forbid someone use the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious or spelling that is like listening to Inagodadavida .....

    Hey Anthony, you might have gone to webview. Try touching the three little dots in the upper right hand corner. Then click on the webview option in the drop-down menu. You might have to click one more time at the bottom of the page.

    It brings up the way the hamb as it looks online without using the hamb app.

    You can't make the page bigger with the finger spread thing while using the app, but you can do it using webview.

    I don't know if webview and reader view is the same thing.

    We sure have learned a***** load of new terms in recent years.
    First time I saw dot-com on the back of a van window, I was majorly confused.
