Not sure how to ask this so I will make a post:

It seems over the last couple days, pinch to zoom has been disabled on mobile devices on this site. I didn't realize how much I used it until it was taken away. I can't read half the posts on my mobile device without it. eg: Any post That has text in images is usually too small to read.

If this was disabled intentionally, is there any way we could get it back?

Thank you


Edit: Solution from scyenceFiction below:

Weird. I never lost the capability. As a thought... go into accessibility settings for your browser, there should be an option to override sites' zoom settings, for instance, in Brave:

Three dot context menu at the bottom right of the home screen (aka hamburger) -> Settings -> Accessibility -> check 'Force enable zoom'.

My concern is that this was an effort to raise the conversion rate (or cluck count) rather than for some technical reason.

@doggos, please consider reverting this" feaure".

It was due to some browsers (Apple, as always) deciding to zoom on their own accord. The inability to manually zoom is a side effect that I will look at fixing.
