I can no longer zoom text which means text is unpleasantly large on tablets

Should be fixed now
Hey! Thanks for this! The thing that is bothering me is that I can't see the whole sidebar, especially recent comments. No worries if it's not fixable.
I removed the sidebar because I couldn't figure out how to make it work well, but then when doing the same thing with lesswrong I figured out a way to put the sidebar at the bottom and have it look okish: http://www.jefftk.com/lw-testing/discussion-new-bottom.png
So maybe we should do that here too?
I like this idea.

It looks like: landing-bottom-new.png
The new one still doesn't have recent comments (seems to jump from 'getting started' to 'recently on EA blogs')?
This also seems like a good opportunity to register a stronger version of what Benito said; losing recent comments immediately stopped me from using the EA forum on my mobile phone except to monitor specific threads.
Should be fixed now!
(Sorry it took so long)

I believe that's just because of how I have it hacked onto jefftk.com, and here would have the whole sidebar including recent comments.

Gah, sorry! I didn't realize it was widely used, and I didn't try hard enough to keep it the first time.
I think it's good to remove the sidebar for readability, but I'd love to have a link to a recent comments page at the top somewhere.
I miss having the sidebar on the main page, but not on any of the articles.
Should be fixed now. The sidebar is now at the bottom on narrow screens
Thanks for doing this Jeff. I think this is (or should have been) a reasonably high priority update for a while now, so thanks for pitching in!
Justified text is kind of bad when the line width is narrow (as it is phones), because it leads to awkwardly wide spaces. http://designforhackers.com/blog/never-justify-type-on-the-web/
Dunno if you fixed this already, but changing from portrait to landscape sort of zooms in instead of keeping the text size the same and making the page wider.
If you haven't recently tried the EA forum on a mobile device, I'd encourage you to test it out. An updated mobile-specific view rolled out yesterday, and if it's causing any display issues for people I can figure out how to fix it.
(The new mobile view is not a full rewrite, it's just some css tweaks to make things tolerable on mobile. So there are probably things that will still be awkwardly small. If there's something that's bothering you, let me know and I can have a look.)
The post titles are strangely small when viewed from the main page.

Thanks! I think we need:
