Any chance of getting the old-style Latest Breaking News column back on the home page? [View all]

That's my most-used DU feature, by far; I've come to depend on it to efficiently keep up with what's happening in the world. It's all the way at the bottom now, and worse, the posting snippet isn't shown -- just a headline.

What kind of device are you using? EarlG Sep 2023 #1

Actually, snippets are not shown on PC but they are shown on phone William Seger Sep 2023 #2

Curious EarlG Sep 2023 #3

PC is full screen at 1920x1080, phone is 2400x1080 William Seger Sep 2023 #4

Hmm EarlG Sep 2023 #5

Yep, three columns, center very wide, news in narrow third column - EDIT: It's Firefox William Seger Sep 2023 #6

Please see my reply to Yonnie3 below EarlG Sep 2023 #9

I'm having the same experience Yonnie3 Sep 2023 #7

Aha, so this is an issue in Firefox with the screen zoom on EarlG Sep 2023 #8

Thanks Yonnie3 Sep 2023 #10

Okay EarlG Sep 2023 #11

I am at 1366 x 768 - I meant to include that tidbit earlier Yonnie3 Sep 2023 #12

Okay this definitely makes sense EarlG Sep 2023 #14

I will be upgrading eventually (soon I hope) Yonnie3 Sep 2023 #16

I was also at 110% because of small font. 100% works okay, but I'd rather be at 110 or 120. (nt) William Seger Sep 2023 #13

For now, I think your best bet might be to wait for the "larger fonts" option EarlG Sep 2023 #15

A great work around is available on Firefox Yonnie3 Sep 2023 #17

Oh, perfect EarlG Sep 2023 #18

Yes, I think you should continue on the fonts Yonnie3 Sep 2023 #19
