Page Size and what is displayed in the viewer

I first published my comics (Travelfar Adventures) about a year ago.  The pages measure 1600x1066- smaller than recommended, but the viewer, at the time, displayed them using the full screen, and I was quite pleased with the result.

Well, after being away for some time, I came back to the site and the desktop viewer is now displaying the pages very small, smaller by quite a bit even than their true size.  Is this a bug, something that can be controlled with a setting, or must I republish the pages with a larger size?

Just to provide a bit more context, when I am on the "Edit Release Settings" page for one of my releases, if I click on the gear icon for a page, and then on "View Original", the page is displayed full screen.  But when I view the same page as a user might, it is displayed quite small.

Thank you for your attention.

What settings are you using in the reading experience? For reference, I mean the settings like "single page, double page, etc" and "auto, fit to height, etc". I tried a few different settings, and some were small, as you mentioned, and some were large and easy to see.

I also noticed you essentially uploaded non-typical sized pages, almost equal to a two-page spread which would be very hard to read on mobile with the sized text that you have. It might be well worth your time to add frames for the immersive reader to create a smoother reading experience for your readers.

Thank you for replying. The settings you mention are almost certainly the issue- how do I view and change them? I just do not see them anywhere!

When in the reading experience, tap on the center of the page to bring up the overlay. On the upper right corner you should see a gear icon for the settings.

Alright, thanks so much! We can chalk this one up to "stupid user" :)

Not "stupid" at all! We all have to learn how the site works on our own time.
