Cannot Access Forums via Safari Web Browser

I can access the main MSE website using Safari 10.1, but if I click on the 'forum' tab all I get is a blank white page. In order to access the forums I have to use Firefox browser.   Safari is my main browser so I'd like to access the forums using Safari..... (Because of the blank white page being displayed, I thought that the forums were down for the first couple of days).

Any help would be most appreciated.

    I had exactly the same issue. The only way to get onto MSE is to do a complete reinstall of the latest iPad update. I tried everything else and nothing worked at all

  • I’m having exactly the same problem. My iPad is too old to load Google Chrome so I’m stuck with Safari.

  • This isn't a solution for me because my iPad is several years old and cannot be updated to any version past 10.3.3. So I would need to buy a new iPad - not very money saving!

    I have reported that issue to the snagging team,  we have a very old ipad here and that cannot take the new updates either so can no longer access MSE at all.

  • Thanks for this, but my iPad will only run iOS 10.3.3 so I can’t update it any further. I can’t install Chrome as it won’t run on this version of iOS. 
  •  When I turn my iPad landscape it works, get nothing portrait just a blank screen

    Thanks for the replies. At least it's just not me having this problem. I'm using a MacBook Pro running macOS Sierra (10.12)
    Soolin, will the MSE forum snagging team get back to you with an outcome?

    My iPhone 5 has similar issues because I can't update the ios any further.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
