Fix website rescaling on every forum-list load?

[Shenanigunner]

The new(ish) forum platform has an annoying characteristic I've seen on a lot of sites and platforms adapted to a "responsive" layout: each time the main forum listing first loads, it does so at about half-width, then snaps to full width. Every time.

 

This has something to do with the meta viewport defintion; I've fixed it on several different platform-based sites (WordPress, MediaWiki, DokuWiki) by changing that page's viewport definition. I don't have a specific fix to point to for this platform but I'm sure it's out there, or can be figgered out.

 

This would be trivial if not for the repeated visual irritation, and that sometimes it takes an appreciable amount of time to 'snap' to full width; unless I wait it out, I am likely to click the wrong link as the page shifts under my tap- or click-point.

 

If someone webmastery has a minute... it'd be nice, thx.

That doesn't really bother me, personally.  The main problem I have with the forums is when I hit "unread posts" it takes like 15 years to load.  😛

It's a simple tweak to fix, and I can't be the only one irritated/inconvenienced by it. If it was one time a session, who cares... but it's every time you return to the main list. squinch... boing. Arrgh.
