No Zoom or Text Size Increase on Touch Site

On the touch site on android phones and tablets there seems to be no way to increase the don't size or even zoom in to be able to read pages properly. Most other sites have either a textb size setting or they allow zooming in by double tapping the page. The boards touch site seems to be blocking any attempt to zoom in on any page.


Edit: it appears that zooming in is possible but only on some devices, the stock browser on the galaxy s3 being one but moto g, Acer liquid e3, lenovo s6000 tablet, kindle hdx and the lenovo yoga tablet do not have this functionality on any browser whether stock or downloaded from the app store.

Strange one that the other browsers you list don't include it, seems like an obvious necessary feature for small screens. I'm a Chrome user on my own touch screen devices (a HTC One M7 and a 2012 Nexus 7) and it has the Text Scaling option in its Accessibility settings as well as a Force enable Zoom which will always allow you to zoom regardless of the site's own settings.

I'll definitely get this added into the list for touch. and the native apps, anything that makes it easier to read is time well spent.
