The mobile version of the boards has a problem, can't see posts in threads. I can see the thread titles though. Everything is pushed to the left side of the screen as well.

    Try this:
    1. Go to 'Settings'
    2. Tap on 'Safari'
    3. Kick yourself in the ass repeatedly for buying a first generation over-priced and under-powered tech-novelty just because it was shiny and 'magical'
    4. Access the boards on a REAL computer - then berate Speedy for being insensitive.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    It was given to me shit bird, i don't by the hype either but it works as a media consumption device. Just trying to let the people who work on the forums there is something not right. Sorry you are insulted by a product you cannot afford.

    Speedy is my friend, I wouldn't expect anything less from him. How ya been Speedy!?

    It's not just the iPad. I've been using my iPod touch to access the board for a couple of years and all of a sudden it got all freaky. It looks a lot like the PJ app - similar format, less functionality, there's no access to PM's, etc., all the reasons I didn't use the app for long - except also the font is white on a white background, so you can't read any original posts, only quoted posts because the quoted part is on a dark background. What gives? Not I basically can't access the forum from my iTouch at all. When accessing through the browser, shouldn't it take me to this same page that the browser takes me to on my laptop? It always did, but they've obviously changed something. I wish they'd stop trying to make it all fancy and just change it back to normal. If I wanted to use that format I'd just use the app. It's very frustrating. :(

    scb ... I'm on an iPhone and the same issues kicked in at the beginning of this week. Knew it wasn't just me as was travelling for the shows and none of us could read anything on the board (unless it was quoted or someone had decided to type in a different colour font) ... maybe give us the option to access the full site as well as the mobile site ... and definitely change white font, white background :lol:
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Yeah, it seems like there should always be an option to access the full site. I guess I just don't really understand how these things work. :?

    Weird. I just checked again on my iTouch and I'm still having the same problem.
