This is the same problem that I pointed out with my Android equipment. The new design is coded to block zooming on mobile devices. In Android, the solution was to switch to Chrome browser, go to the accessibility settings for the browser and select the option to over-ride no-zoom requests by web sites. I don't know enough about iPad to give you specific advice because I am in an Apple-free home. You should check to see if any of the browsers on your equipment have a similar option setting.

It shouldn't be hard to modify the style to make it stop trying to keep you from zooming. Not to imply that I have had anything to do with working on this software and style update...

Yvonne, I just wanted to say that what you did was one of the best theme overhauls I've ever seen. I'm very impressed at how quickly you've fixed issues as they have arisen.

Thanks, Stupac. I saw that late last night, but needed it to pop up again before I could attempt to fix it.

I think the behavior is caused by line 4 of the code which reads:
Quote:<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />
Maybe try deleting the maximum-scale=1" parameter and see if that breaks anything. I am not a coder so my understanding of these things is limited. I think Chrome just ignores this parameter when I set the accessibility option to override no zoom requests. Your iPhone may also ignore the parameter. As far as I can tell, the site works very well without the zoom limitation.

I am noticing something odd, though harmless. On my Android phone at least, when the table of contents page for the Cardboard is drawn, the New icons show up in orange for an instant and then are instantly redrawn in red.
