Why under "Versions" are the years always truncated? (19.. or 20..)

This happens when I'm both plugged into a large screen, or when I'm on my laptop, so it's not a screen autosizing problem.

But, under a release in the new gray framed box that frames all the different versions of the releases the year column is always not expanded, and it truncates the year to "19.." or "20..".

Very annoying when I'm trying to locate a certain version, and the year would be helpful.

Thanks.

You mean on a master release view? I see the years in full. Which browser and version are you using?

Is my assumption right that you're likely accessing Discogs on a smartphone or tablet in desktop view that you connected to that large screen?
Then unclick it and the issue will disappear.

At least I can replicate that issue on mobile device, but I struggle how this would occur on a proper desktop machine like a Laptop or a PC.
Or is that so-called "laptop" in fact just some Chromebook or alike?

Edit: Oops, I didnt realise the location of this thread at first and now I'm wondering why you posted this in the "App"-forum. Are you trying to run the mobile app on a computer or are you accessing the website with a (mobile?) browser?

I wish I could post a screenshot.
I put it in App because it has to do with Discogs as an application on the web browser.
I'm indeed on the web version. Is there a better place to post this?

I'm in both Chrome and Edge for browsers.
Yes, under Master Release is a good example.
The Title, Format, Label - Catalog Number, and Country columns all appear correctly.
But the Year column only displays the first 2 digits of the year, then the trailing dots.
So, I just see it as "19..." and "20...", which is funny because the 2 numbers would fit there fine (because they're equivalent in size as "...".

Wondering if there's a solution to this.

And, I'm on a Lenovo laptop (not phone or tablet or laptop-ish tablet).

Thanks, I did try zooming in and out, the table doesn't seem to auto-adjust to view.
I looked at the code for the page and it's ~infinitely long, so I don't have enough knowledge on how to find where the table widths are set.

Load the image to https://prnt.sc/ and post the link here.

Posted, you can see the years squashed to only showing "20..." - which is kind of hysterical because I'm assuming "00" and "..." are nearly the same width, :) .

OS? Browser? Screen resolution? Any script blocker plugins running?

It would be interesting to know whether anyone else is experiencing the same. Because so far, no one.

One thing I notice in your screenshot is that all the text in the list of versions is emboldened. That's not usual nor intended, and I suspect there's something in your set-up which is causing this to happen on your screen. Do you had any readability/accessibility add-ons installed?

Yeah, I just checked on my work computer, and it does not truncate the year, so it is definitely some setting on my computer.
I have a "regular" PC laptop, Lenovo X1, display is 1920x1080, Windows 11 (that's 1 main difference between this laptop and my work laptop is its on Windows 10 still), no add ons or accessibility functions or blockers.
This occurs in both Edge and Chrome.
I notice that most or all of my text is bold on the Discogs site, so if anyone knows where to switch it, that may be the fix.

It does have something to do with the site's font formatting. I switched Chrome's default font setting to "Large" and above, and it displays correctly, but it doesn't at Medium or lower (it gets worse with some settings, going down to 1 digit years "2...". Unfortunately, "Large" is terrible on all other sites. I wonder if there's a way to turn off "bold" or if it's a Windows 11 mis-communication?

I figured out how to fix this finally.

I found the website "Styles" code by right clicking at selecting "Inspect".

The Discogs site uses this as it's font selection. I had Helvetica Neue installed on my computer, which is a heavy bold font, so it was defaulting to that. I had to Uninstall it and I saved the font file in a different folder in case I ever need it.

html, button, input, select, textarea {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans", Arial, sans-serif;

Note, discogs, maybe Helvetica Neue is not the best first font choice! Because, the boldness of it affects the display. (Assuming that this code is coming from Discogs' website programming).

It would be worth posting this bug, and the solution you found, in the Development section of the forum, as it is more likely to be picked up there: https://www.discogs.sie.com/forum/topic/843

In other words, they've set Helvetica Neue as the default font, but it doesn't work with the design they've created.

Thanks for digging into this and finding the cause of it. I can't promise they'll fix it, certainly not any time soon, but it would be worth posting it there. I doubt the discogs is actually monitored for pings.
