Developer forum doesn't load correctly on android 12

Useally the title is in Bold. And the posts are centred but this has changed and some menus genuinely look not positioned correctly upgrading to android 12. Not sure if this is a website bug but weird to have this issue just upgrading my android.

I think it’s just bc android 12 contains lighter text and android 11 used bolder text?

Nope, you got the app just like me

Roblox Devforum is actually run by a third-party service. I don’t believe Roblox can do anything about this problem.

It’s a bug in general, texts and icons are poorly structured. It happens regardless of the device, screen resolution, browser that is (Chrome, Firefox, Android, iOS, 1920x1080, 1366x768, etc), as is reported in this post:

You happened to upgrade while they were upgrading the light theme, there is nothing wrong with your android version, just the DevForum itself.

Can you explain what you mean by ‘weird’, if this is actually a bug, saying that something ‘weird’ is occurring does not help engineers.

I just want to clarify that the Roblix Developer Forum operates on an open-source Forum software known as Discourse.
Maybe this information will help you :man_shrugging:


woa that me


Just tried on my tablet android os 12, same issue

Change to Roblox dark theme then make your text “normal” on interface setting?

Text scaling doesn’t work.
Char limit

I think it depends on your browser, I use Edge and the PWA functions as a shortcut.

Can also confirm on Android 12, Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro, I think this is due to the footer Roblox added though.

You should try using the Discourse Hub app, it’s the “software” the forums use. I’m on iPhone so I’m not sure if it’s available on Android but you can search up the app and download it.

iOS app link: ‎Discourse Hub on the App Store

There is an Android version as well, I prefer not using Discourse Hub though

Thanks for reporting this issue. I looked into it and made some changes.

Are you still experiencing issues with the menu positions?

Yes I’d also like to say that the font seems really weird.

In your screenshot, what menu position would you expect to see?

Hello, originally the menu use to go all the way done to my taskbar of my screen with no gaps its hard to explain but it basically use to go all the way down.

I see, we had it constrained to only take up 80% of the screen height at maximum.

Just made some modifications so that it should occupy the whole height of your screen if you have enough notifications to fill the space.

Thanks Its definitely back to normal although did you guys change the font at all?

There are some styling changes that adjusted the font across themes (namely Roblox Dark uses HCo Gotham SSm and the rest use Arial sans-serif).

The team is also looking into a separate report that the font-weight is hard to read – `font-weight` was changed to 300, text is difficult to read and inconsistent - #4 by Eestlane771.
