The text size changes sometimes when I refresh a page...

...or when I open a new thread.

It's not a problem with my phone, only happens on DU.

The larger type goes back to goes back to standard when I sign out and back in, but that happens again after opening a few posts.

I'm slightly concerned it could be an indication of some kind of malware in my DU account.

Any thoughts?

It wasn't huge yet had all the features, camera, sim chip and it displayed the time.
Lasted for years on my wrist like Dick Tracey.

Refreshing the page usually returns the text to proper size. Alternately, selecting a post and then returning to the previous page does the trick. Still a bit of a nuisance, though.

I know that small things like that, or even the phone getting warm for no reason, can be an indicationof some bug or virus or something try to mess with the phone, so I thought I'd ask.
