New phone weird UI bug

[iamnuff]

Basically, I got a new phone and when browsing qq on that phone, there's no account drop down on the top bar widget thing.

Like, right at the top of the screen there the options menu denoted by three horizontal lines, site logo, T that alters text size, your avatar that you press to see account stuff, then the envelope for PMs and the bell for notifications, right?

Well the account icon is gone. And I've no idea why.

It's the one that you press to see your likes, content, change your sig, ect.
There's no blank space either, it's just gone.

It's still visible on the old phones, both phones are android, old one is Sony, new one is Galaxy.

Genuinely no idea what could have caused this.

Hey, that's not a bug but an intended feature. Sounds like the width of your device is to small so your avatar icon was moved into the drop-down menu (horizontal lines). Sites do this to be responsive and not squish elements together.

You might want to try changing text size in your browsers accessibility settings, but this would affect all site, or try another browser and hope for the best. Brave or Firefox for example.

Sadly mobile browsers aren't as customizable as their desktop counterparts, so you wont be able to zoom in or out per site like you can on a computer. Although Firefox for android does let you install extensions so if you know how you could create Userscript or Userstyles to fix the issues.

Here's something chatgpt made if you want to go that route. It should work. If your on android use Cromite or firefox for userscripts, or Adguard for android also has a userscript manager but that's paid software.

Or you could just get by lol.

Nope, the screen size is the same as my old phone, and there's plenty of room between the logo and the T (room for at least two more icons)

Also, the drop down list has my avatar icon (double checked my old phone, and it isn't there on that, so you are right that it was 'moved there') except it doesn't have the same functions at all.

If I press it, instead of opening a menu with all of my account stuff on it, it just takes me directly to the 'account details' page where you change your username, password or avatar.

Stuff like 'all content by you' 'news feed' 'reactions received' 'all reactions given' 'following' 'prefrences' 'ignore list' seem to be completely inaccessible.
Changing text-size does nothing.

Again, there's space for the icon up there on the top bar. My new phone is no smaller than my old one, nor are any of the Ui elements larger.
As far as I can tell, this UI element is removed for no reason.

If it's in the drop-down menu, then it's just a hyperlink to your profile page. Again, this is normal. This is just how xenforo works.

Even If the screen size is the same your resolution could be different which would affect it. Try a different browser.

I'm an idiot, just looked into browser settings and you can zoom in and out. You just need to enable it... In accessibility settings enable "Show zoom option in main menu" and it the option will show up in the menu.

Then that's not what I'm looking for, since it doesn't have the same functions as the missing UI element.

I don't want to zoom. This is the correct zoom level for me.
I just want my ui element back.

There's plenty of space for it already, it's just gone for no reason.
That's why I posted this as a bug report

That extra space you're talking about is likely the sites custom font size. Display: none; is applied when the viewport is 359px or less, so it doesn't matter if extra space is available.


Luckily, there's a quick fix you can do. (If you're on android, don't know enough about brave ios to say. )


Download Brave, Go to settings > Brave shields and privacy > Content filters > Create custom filters, and copy the following:

forum.questionablequesting.com##.p-navgroup-link.p-navgroup-link--user:style(display: flex !important;)

It will use adblock to stop it from being hidden. Tried it out myself and it works just fine.
