Logout changed?

A couple of days ago I noticed while viewing with my droid that my avatar was gone from the top header where I marked the spot in red.

Is this the site or has something on my end that's changed? Consequently I had to search my account info to logout.

I don’t see an avatar there either on iOS but I’ve never paid attention. If you click the “burger” menu icon on left it shows….

I still have my tab when logged in with my PC. So, it must be my Samsung S8 that has an issue. Hmmm...🤔

Layout issue. As the layout gets narrower, items are removed from the top menu and "overflow" into the "hamburger" menu. If text size has changed, for instance, that could force your account item to be moved from the header bar into the hamburger menu.

(This is part of responsive design--it moves elements around based on screen width.)

Hmmmm...I'll have to ponder that for a minute.
 
I might be an idiot (please don't cheer too loud) but, I thought I'd turn my S8 to landscape view and lo and behold! It's there. I wonder if my phone abitrarily changed settings without my knowledge or approval.🤨😬

Well, of course it might...

Whattaya think @Rudy ? Phone shit that I could conceivably change if I were anal enough to be bothered by it?

Guilty.

I should possibly get treatment for my OCD personality (NOT!) but, I'm afraid it could alter my audio obsession(s).😝😂

In my case, if I increase the text size in the phone's settings (which affects everything on the phone), that has occasionally thrown off the layout of some sites.

It's hard to say what it might exactly be, as there can be other variables that might cause a shift in the layout, like the "dpi" setting of the phone (dots per inch...basically, the number of pixels per inch on a display, which is one of those settings buried deep in the phone OS which may not even be accessible without connecting to the phone with a USB cable and issuing commands from an attached computer, or downloading a specialized app which can change it).

Even a change or update of the forum software could cause it (which is one thing I'm looking hard at on another XenForo-powered site I'm in the middle of developing). But since the current version here hasn't changed for over a year (version 2.2 has been around for a couple of years now), that's likely not the case.

This forum, BTW, can be saved to a home screen on a phone or tablet, and a version of the forum will open up in a "chromeless" version of the browser without any of the browser controls. That makes it work similar to an app. However, it would not affect the layout, other than providing a little more room top and bottom for scrolling.

Wish I could give you a concrete answer!
 
Thank you, that actually helps me understand.

EDIT: dropping the text size back to a smaller font fixed my inconsequential issue nicely! Thank you @Rudy that was easy!🤠🥳

I figure the less I understand, the less likely I’m going to fiddle with something and make the problem worse. At least when it comes to computers and software stuff.
Ignorance is bliss.
