Does anyone check these threads for issues? The iPad version of the forums only display the first post on each thread on Safari. Works perfectly on Chrome, so there must be some wonky User Agent configuration.

EDIT: I'm a dummy! My ad blocker was blocking comments - who'd have thunk!

The issues I'm still having:
1. When I go Back to a Categories section on a browser on my phone, I am either shown as not logged in, or the browser does not go back down to my position I left the page at (a very typical feature on most reading-heavy sites)
2. The white space still bugs the crap out of me on my computer
3. On non-mobile devices, the default width is often wider than the browser window. Obviously this makes reading threads very annoying

    Different issue than the one I'm having! Sea - by the way, this is an iPad Pro 9.7" (and I've seen the same on an iPad mini as well), if your dev team needs that information. It occurs when the site is loaded on both Portrait and Landscape modes. Thank you for responding :)

    Having exact same issue here! Now it won't even accept my log in information after typing it in correctly 2 times. Stating I will be locked out after 5 attempts. I just happened to had been logged on from my iPhone which seems to work fine. Any solutions?

    I reset my pasword, which nnow requires upper and lower numbers and special characters before the reset button lights up to make it offical.

    To add to my first post:
    1. When I go Back to a Categories section on a browser on my phone, I am either shown as not logged in, or the browser does not go back down to my position I left the page at (a very typical feature on most reading-heavy sites)

    3. On non-mobile devices, the default width is often wider than the browser window. Obviously this makes reading threads very annoying
    4. My first post about the forums being literally unusable on an iPad at this point. No comments are listed except the very first on each thread

    There's obviously a lot of trial and error going on with the site. I'm guessing they don't have a secondary environment to test in, all these problems being evidence.

    Agreed. Having been in IT for a bit, there's huge value in having a testing environment. I would gladly spend my PJ Forums time in a beta environment, if requested - and I'm sure many others here would too.

    Hi Benjs, :)
    Do you have lots of room left on your iPad? Under Settings and About, it shows I have 9GB of room left.

    Kat - please disregard this!!! I installed a Content Blocker, and while I thought it was restricted to just ad blocking, I found a setting to "Block Comments" that was active. So happy to have my home back on my mobile device :)

    Thanks for your help!
