Do people use FanStory on their phone or computer?


I'm just wondering if people are generally using FanStory from their PC/laptop, or from a smartdevice (phone/tablet).

Poems look really good on my laptop, but on my phone everything is squashed horizontally, so there are all these unintended extra line breaks. Should I be concerned about formatting my poems so that people can enjoy reading them on their phones? (Also, does anyone know how to override the screen resizing?)

Thanks!

You can't prevent screen resizing but at least on an iPhone you can turn off the tilt orientation. A lot of pieces wrap and look terrible in portrait view on a phone. I use the white-space:nowrap CSS property in short poems to prevent this. This is a long explanation to go into and you can read more about it on w3schools.com. Or, just do all your writing in the "advanced" editor and never have to deal with HTML.

Laptop. I use my phone to make calls, send the occasional email, take photos and map walks and listen to audiobooks. The screen is far too small to use if for FS
