I have not had the chance to read in the forums for a bit because the whole appearance has changed, not for the better. I have two Apple computers at home and an iPad, and every time I try to access the forums the postings are so:

Every
word
has
it's
own
line
all
the
way
down
the
page.

It's too frustrating to read long and interesting posts! I do not have this effect with any other website. Is there something I need to do to get a revised version of the Forums?

Thanks, john g :(

New forum is here since one year IMO .

Your Apple gear need to be update , not forum.

My computers are all Apple , I Mac , Mac Book Pro , I pad and forum work very well after some tuning .

I keep checking for software updates and I'm apparently current. And this is the only website that does the vertical thing...

On my phone the threads and posts look normal but the page numbers go:
1
,
2
,
3
,
4
,
instead of 1,2,3,4,.
Again this is on my phone and it didn't look like that 2 days ago.

Not sure about my computer. Will check later.

It must be so frustrating knowing you bought the wrong phone. :-)

That said, since iPhone's became rubbish, getting a better alternative is a bit of a lottery.

You are not the first person to have this happen to them although you might be only the second. I'm sure I saw a post almost exactly like this about six months ago or so. I don't remember if it ever got resolved or not.

Perhaps search the forum for it. There may be some insight in it for you.

For what it's worth, I run all Apple now. MacBook, iPhone, iPad and I rarely have issues except on the phone. On the iPhone I have to turn the phone sideways or else I end up scrolling side to side in addition to just up and down. I'm talking about this website here, that is. It doesn't happen on any other forums I frequent. It doesn't show me one word at a time though.

One thought I have is maybe your preferred font size (on the phone display, in settings) is a bit on the large size compared to the factory default. Try it sideways and see if that helps.

The forum works on my iPhone, but I need my reading glasses to see the font. I have iMacs in the bedroom and the music room, and they both have OS 10.6.8. So maybe this is too old for this site? And I just had photos to post now, too...

That topic is here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=99773

The problem was with the Safari browser, switching to Chrome helped the OP in that topic.

And now on my first generation iPad, with OS 5.1.1 everything is vertical as well. Must be the software I guess. Darn it - upgrading to new software makes me nervous. Last time I bought their new system and uploaded it everything went nuts, and I had no choice but to dump it and reinstall the previous disc. And I just spent my Xmas money on another Strat, so I'm a bit broke now...

Yep I checked an older ipad running IOS 5.1.1 and have the same issue.
A more recent Ipad 2 running ver 9.2 is fine.
Looks like you will need to change the browser or upgrade the Ipad. :D

I'm an admin on another forum and a recent software change was a nightmare.

Different operating systems, and different browsers, all format the pages differently. We were having all manner of arguments about things overlapping and things looking poor on my browser in Android, on my hardware, while others screens looked fine.

There are so many variables to contend with.
