I don't know if there's been a change to the code on webmasterworld recently, or a change in iOS, but this is just to let you know that you can't seem to increase the text size of the site very much in safari anymore.
(You can still do it, but the max size is a lot smaller)
us middle-aged people with lousy eyesight used to be able to use the iPhone's text-resizer to make it more readable

Safari's defaults have changed (at least on Mac OS 26.0.1), but you can edit settings for "Page Zoom" - up to 300% - by following the Safari menu: Safari > Websites > Page Zoom > 300% or whatever you want.

You can make the same changes in iOS 26.0.1 following to Settings > Apps > Safari > Page Zoom > up to 300%.

Heh, been a few years since that WW font size function disappeared. I, too, have eyes that need help. Just shifted to a browser text zoom for WW (20%, high contrast display mode looking like 1980's 16 color CRTs) and all is good.

Don't use iOS, but I THINK the Safari text zoom is Command + + to enlarge and - to reduce, and 0 (zero) to revert to default, with changes being 10% increments. Should remember for each website changed, but that's merely my Firefox/Win experience.

Think it's to do with the banner advert at the top of this site. If you view the site in mobile portrait then you get a horizontal scrollbar because the advert doesn't resize.

That's what stops you zooming as much as we could do before
