Can’t Work Out How to Open a Thread?

Options
Hello
When browsing the forums and I see a thread title that I want to read, I click on it and nothing happens except the little bookmark icon goes red.  What am I doing wrong?  I’ve been using internet and forums since 1999, so I’m a bit embarrassed at not being able to do such a simple task!

 I’m on an IPad with up to date iOS.  No issues anywhere else. Tia!

    Hi there

    Unfortunately there is a known problem with iPads and the forum.

    If you turn your iPad from landscape to portrait, you should be able to navigate to a thread.

    It's not ideal, but hopefully some changes that we are currently working on will resolve the issue.

    Thank you, @MSE_James. I do use the iPad in portrait so it’s not that.  I can see the thread title and whether anyone has replied or not. If they have, I can click on their name and then look at all their replies.  That’s how I found this.  Looks like I’ll have to wait for a fix!  Until then I’ll just scroll through replies like a caveman 😊

    Sorry - I got that the wrong way round - I meant if you use the iPad in landscape mode it will work as expected. 

    There is a glitch when viewing the forum at the exact screen width of an iPad in portrait orientation.
