The only time the font bothers me is when the poster makes it smaller.  I simply cannot read it and skip over the post.  I don't undestand why anyone would purposely make their font so small.  Other people have mentioned this, too.

I'm on an Android tablet and cannot enlarge the screen with my fingers anymore either.  I've changed the font size twice, it's enormous and then goes back to tiny.

I'm suddenly having this problem on my iPad. I can't use the feature where I can "stretch" the page with two fingers and make the font bigger. The stretching feature still works on any other website I visit, so it isn't the iPad that has a problem.  If the font stays small, I sure won't be reading the forums as much.

@shoesnbags I'm using the IPad four and can stretch the screen and I also tried to stretch the screen with my new IPad Pro, and I can stretch the screen using the two finger stretch.  You may want to ty closing it altogether and trying it again.

Thanks @Blingqueen023 but I tried that and it doesn't work.  My Ipad is 2 years old, so not ancient, but not brand new either.

I have an older iPad than yours, @shoesnbags - so old I can no longer update the IOS. Have the tiny font problem and can't stretch the page either since this website upgrade. Lots of bouncing as the pages load, too. (It's even worse on my Fire tablet with the new bobbing menu banner.)

I have to use the zoom function in Accessibilities on the iPad. When I zoom in enough to make the fonts a normal size, it throws the links on the left out of view. I zoom back out a bit in order to use those, then back in to read and type. 

Thankfully the editing tools on posts still work. I'm selecting my usual size 3 font. I can only hope it appears normal to others here. Don't want to assault anyone's eyeballs! 👀 

I hope this tip helps you a little until the situation is resolved by the tech team.

I can barely read tiny font (and my tablet is set to "huge"!

@patbz :

Since I began this topic which occurred EXACTLY around Friday at 11:30 a.m. -I will address each poster. I have the font set at #3.

No colors, a typical BOLD BLACK in ARIAL. Patbz, I cannot [even] read your post unless using a magnifying glass -HA, as in Sherlock Holmes' spy glass.  Please let me know how this looks to you!

I was typing three seconds ago "THE PLEASE", then the screen jumped waaaay down and what I typed never adhered to the post.

I have no problem tying /w/3/Arial BLACK- if the font doesn't bother anyone else. I usually type with a #2..and sometimes a #1- 

My screen page is the same.

The font ' read on ' ONLY >screen page is very large, though.

I have three different PCs- 1)=desktop, 2)=Touch Pad 10 inch tablet, 3)= Keyboard /w/ either `Arrow or TOUCH/ LAPTOP.

Neither one has the regular font as it was before> Friday- 2-16- of this NEW YEAR >>>>>>>>>>>>ALL have the teeny tiny font on FORUMS/BLOGS. As I mentioned ON MY TOPIC..This IS a problem within the QVC's Internet..That I Know!

I am not the only one with the FONT SIZE PROBLEM ; also,the jumping has been present for four (4) months which I did reply to another when she/he asked, is anyone else having jumping, then I answered YES, then closed off.

**********> :::::::::I hope this explains what I have tried to explain TO the CS and TECH support, even rec'd a message back what to do..DID NOT WORK! 

@Lucky Charm, I have NEVER had a complaint about different colors or changing font sizes. It was so very easy.

I am listening to you. But yours was a 1st.

PEACE.

                                       NAES.

It's in their QVC CHANGING!

I am using 3.5 reading glasses from a friend. I wear no glasses or have contacts.

I almost always use Georgia, font #4 whether on my ipad  or computer but sometimes it comes out like #3.  It could be that as a poster types, they don't realize how small the result will look to the reader because of the way it looks on their device.  Unless it's really, really small.

But @Mmsfoxxie , posters haven't changed their fonts, they're using the same fonts/sizes as they were before - when it all appeared larger.   Font size suddenly shrunk on the same day for everyone affected. Clearly something changed at QVC.

Yes, you are both correct. All along the various fonts and their sizes appear quite differently depending on the devices used to post here. Knew that just between my old IPad and the new Fire tablet. 

Then the tech team performed an upgrade to these forums- with no prior notice, just after they did so on the Home Page. Must have been on Friday as @NAES1 witnessed. (Thank you for reporting the problems to QVC.) I wasn't here at the time and was confused by the sudden changes, too. Tiny fonts with no ability to stretch the pages simultaneously was unfortunate for many indeed! Had they warned us of the coming upgrade, it would have helped to avoid a lot of confusion. Many thought it was their devices gone whacky. 

Now those who are experiencing the problems who type in their normal sized fonts are being displayed here as tiny as ant trails. I would select size 3 or 4 and try using the zoom function on your device. I know it won't work for everyone, sadly. 😟

The mods have kindly passed the complaints along from Customer Care to the IT Team. Hoping solutions come soon, that won't cause troubles for those many who aren't having any now.  Fingers crossed!

Forgot to mention one thing that may help them resolve the issues. 

When the page finishes bouncing as that new banner fully loads, everything decreases in size. Including the forum tables, as well as the fonts. A wide gap is left on either side of the pages that seems to compress everything toward the center. 

I don't know if they can or will change that feature. They may have to tinker with our available settings in our profiles, if not set a larger standard font for all. 

My HD Fire 10” tablet is brand new with all current upgrades. No reason why that shouldn't be compatible, but I can't shop with it, or post here without a lot of inconvenience. 

Going to give my eyes a break now. Good luck, ladies.

                @shoesnbags 

           I have just checked with my husband's IPad Pro & LG Smart phone, that can >be< STRETCHED to any font, screen page font ON 'ANY' WEBSITE -with out any problems.

He has NO QVC website, nor has ever used it

  "...and from I've told him of THESE problems. I KNOW he  will have no use to go onto qvc since he has no use for it ( I do the shopping, a lot of shopping), but at this turn of the fork in the road, we are buying either a LG 15 inch or new desktop, and will be having ZERO app to QVC-period"...!

I'll gather information from this one, only.. or order as shown, when on TV. HSN is working perfectly, as do my other 10 webs.

 What a mess !!!!> they have created.

     I clued in instantly on 'this' one qvc system: (1) thing: some man/men were the creating...............................................'MEN

   At Work designing a new system. Gurus of the tech. world-HA'!

My brother, an adjunct psychologist asked: why would I, with my status, want to be on a forum blog?

I told him, only for the Among friends and Wellness, usually at 20%.

   "I have been her 6.5 years (almost) and did beauty reviews, then gained momentum with Pet Lovers" + BEAUTY. 

 Being here 6 years, having ` just` reaching over 4,000 should tell anyone I'm not a novella armchair spewing TALK TALKer looking for entertainment.

My most recent time(s) spent here, was before Christmas comparing product, comparing quality, along with my few worth reading cyber friends, and that's a maybe for the the time window every 3-4 days at 2 hours, if that. SO,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,if the BLACK BOLD AT 3or 4 doesn't bother anyone, I'll continue on. For @LuckyCharm, I am a free lance artist, so different colors represent a different person / or another topic not to confuse to someone else to me. 

          Your wondering is satisfied with a typical qvc font..enjoy. Peace. I had to use 3.4 reading magnifying glasses to just type this! On with the show.  HA!

Is everyone okay with this, now?
