iPad forum problem

BarleySugar

Please, can anyone help.

Tonight while browsing the MSe forums, my iPad 2screen has gone wonky. Text is now very small, smileys etc can't be seen and Thanks/Spam buttons can't be identified. Has anyone any idea how to fix this? Everything else looks normal, it's only the forums that are affected.

TIA

What browser are you using?
The forums are working fine on my iPad 2 with Safari.

The forum skin I am using is "New masthead, fixed width" - try using this one if you have a different one selected.

Try clearing history, and cookies and data on Safari.

Try closing all tabs in Safari, then exit Safari, and close all apps you have running in the background.

Try turning off your iPad (not just putting it in standby) and then turning it on again.

Those steps cure most cases of iPad oddness.

Thanks Humphrey,

I cleared cookies etc and all is looking fine now. Problem solved. Thanks for your help.

I find the same thing can happen on eBay, but only on the 'watch list' page.... it shrinks in stages - opens up normal size, then gets one stage smaller, then another stage a second or so later, then another.....

Will try and find how to clear cookies etc on the iPad

Also find that MSE tends to kick me out of Safari when typing a reply to a post on the iPad. It's the only website that exhibits this behaviour.
