May I suggest a return to the old (standard) format for the discussion group. The new format for not give the same amount of information while browsing the index.

The coloured box format does not suit my mobile phone (Android11)

(My screen shot is just over 500kb so I can't v upload it.)

I’m afraid I don’t understand, Cushie. May I suggest you download a resizing app so you can post the pic. We can then see exactly what the issue is. 

This one is quite good and is free.

maybe the club could get their act together so pictures don't need to be resized to the ridiculously small 500mb .... the cheapest/simplest cameras & phones take photos in Gb's Every other forum I use allows pictures to be posted here that are hosted elsewhere.

Well the original screen shot was 530kB so here is my attempt to reduce the file size: 297kB.

I'm guessing all mobiles will show this view ( in colour)

There are 2 things you can try. Turning your phone sideways to landscape mode may fix it. Alternatively, select Desktop site to view in the preferred format.

I don’t think this is a CT thing but something that happens on phones.

Thank you Tinwheeler, the desktop site is much better at seeing a choice of interesting  topics.  I can just remember the last century when desktops were all the rage and telephones were tied to the wall with cables! πŸ™‚

I agree, the Desktop version is much easier to use. I hope you’re sorted without having to resort to a CRT monitor attached to a steam driven processor unit.πŸ‘πŸ»

Thanks Cyberyacht, my laptop, a bit like me, is clocking on a bit, the phone is so handy for just catching up on chatter. I did once get into real trouble doing a financial transfer on the phone due to the small keyboard  by adding an extra '0' to a sum to be transferred, so that's when I pull the laptop out of 'sleep'.

Best wishes to all.
