The Nice People No. 17

Looking at help online - if you are using Safari on your Ipad
Go to the settings on your Ipad
Tap on Safari
Scroll to the bottom and choose Advanced
Tap on website data
Tap on edit at the top right corner
Find the website from the list you want to change over to mobile view, tap on the red button to the left of it and delete
Tap done
Go back on Safari, go to this website and hopefully it should be the mobile version.

No idea if it works though but the advice seems pretty consistent wherever I have looked, maybe do more research to make sure you are comfortable as I freely admit to being a complete novice when it comes to Apple devices.

Thought I'd log back in to check if it got any better.

Nope.

Some threads I can quote and thank and others not and I don't know why.
If we leave and come back later, will it be less user-hostile?

I’m going to try that now.....never been into that part of settings before!
if I disappear, it hasn’t worked! Eeeek!

edit......just did that, but it’s all still exactly the same. Weird.

Thanks for your very clear instructions, though, Sue!

They’ve taken the Thanks feature away from The Arms, but I am hoping they will reinstate it, as it was one huge reason why I preferred the MSE forum to other chat forums.
a lot of people are asking for it back.

my keyboard has gone so slow and sticky.......only on this Forum.......I might have to leave errors in as it is tortuous, ditto the lower case letter at the start of sentences following a new paragraph.

Whether the powers that be will restore it, I don't know.
Some users were using it to be antagonistic, using the thanks counts of a post contrary to their own opinion to slate other posters or claim bias on the forums against their own opinion - at one time one pl*nker was actually listing all the users who'd thanked a post with which they disagreed and claiming that it was bullying.

Oh begger, sorry it didn't work, it was worth a try.
Have you tried clearing cookies/cache, closing MSE completely and starting afresh on a new 'page'? Erm, trying to think of all the old tricks here.

I used to thank every post, so I knew where I'd got to.  It's now not so easy to instantly spot where thanks given end.... as you have to actually focus on/check each one... whereas, before, it was a big green button that was there until you'd pressed it/thanked.  Overall, not liking this new thing at all.  Also, on the old system, there was a link close to the top that just said "new posts" and I'd usually hit that and see who was saying what... wherever it was.  Can't seem to do that now. Closest would be just being at the home page and being able to see the title of the last post in every category.

When  click on the thread title it opens at the first new post since I last read.

I no longer have the option to only show my sig when I want to, so sorry you're all burdened with that mass of text.

Yep, tried all that.
interestingly, on one iPad, this one, at the bottom of the main menu for the main MSE site,
it says......... Mobile DESKTOP
but on my other iPad it doesn’t have those words. That latter one is the iPad I can’t get any forum on at all! 
Nothing happens if I press on the word mobile though.
