Site displays in plain text with a whole lot of space, blue on white. Maybe I gooched a setting in my phone, or site has problems, only TB is affected. But I can't see any mention here so what do I do to android settings?

Resolved TB formatting gone, or just me?

Looks/works normal on my android.
These phones do have settings for "mobile view" or "desktop view".
I think I also saw a setting once where it will flip the colors on websites, like white print on blue background instead of blue print on white background, but I can't remember the name of what they call that. May have to root around in the menus.

Rooted around in menus, can't find anything for desktop vs. mobile in the phone, nor anything in TB menus. Selecting Talkbass 2014 Style doesn't change anything
When I'm on mine, you have to have an internet page open (like this one), then hit the menu button on the bottom of the phone, then desktop/mobile view will be an option there, though I don't think that's the problem.
The menu button gives different choices if you hit it when you're in different functions of the phone, like internet browser, texts, email, etc.
I'll dig around in mine and see if I can find that color flipping thing.

On mine, if you start from the apps menu, hit "settings", then hit "accessibility", there is an option in the accessibility menu called "negative colors" that reverses the color scheme of the screen.
If that's not the problem, I wouldn't know what is.

It's like everything is there but for the borders and colours, and the font is all the same and same big size. Weird.
Maybe it's broke; and on the off chance it isn't give it to your child they can fix it, they can fix anything.
I checked TB on my Windows 8.1 desktop, my Apple iOS 7.1.2 iPhone, my Android 4.1.2 phone, and my Windows 8.1 tablet. It's looking normal on all those devices.
Hahaha, good answer sissy kathy. Well played.

Is the font set to some really big size?
There's settings for font size as well as forcing website text to fit in the screen, so you can zoom in to make it big enough to read without having to slide left and right to see the end of the sentence, though that doesn't work with every website out there. Some are made in some way they don't jive that well with phones.
TB will do that once in a while, but if I set the font to like 150%, I can make the words big enough on the screen to read easy before they run off the edge.
Haha. If all else fails, give it to the nearest teenager, then have them explain what they did.
Man! You seriously got all that stuff? I have a smartphone I can't answer and an alarm clock I don't use.
Post this in the forum usage issues forum rather than off topic. You'll get better responses there.
I Don't think it's an issue with the forum. Maybe more of a phone problem thing.
Mine seems normal.
Forum usage issues is still the forum most likely to help him get it resolved. I suspect his issue is similar to this thread, for example: http://www.talkbass.com/threads/crazy-display-issues-with-forum-at-work.1088898/
It's only TB that has gone back to Link Removed style.
No kids here to rescue.
It's a Galaxy S, still going great guns.
I do. The Android and tablet are mine, the other two were provided by my employer. I work for an IT services company.
