I have an older IPad. From 2015. This past 2 weeks something odd has happened. I cannot get into the message board section of the SDMB. All I get is a blank page. I can get into the home page and Cecils message and such. But all I get is a blank page for the message boards. Nothing else is acting up on the IPad. I can get into all the other websites I regularly go on. At first I thought maybe the boards were down. But then I used my computer at work and was able to get on the boards. Any clue as to what’s going on? ---

See this thread, from this post on: > [@Site is no longer formatted for mobile, screen width is way too wide](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/site-is-no-longer-formatted-for-mobile-screen-width-is-way-too-wide/964282/31): > > I’m using an old iPhone 6 with an old iOS (12.5.4, unable to update further). Ever since the Discourse update yesterday afternoon, the Straight Dope Message Board appears only as a featureless white screen – both in Safari and Chrome. No banner, text, buttons, posts, images … nothing at all. Just a sea of white. No changing themes because there’s no way to change that. Any ideas? I checked Safari’s settings - Javascript is enabled, and I know without that the Discourse board software will not… Just FYI, the Site Feedback forum is the main place for talking about technical issues with SDMB. ---

Thanks for that. BTW I thought the technical issue was with my IPad not the boards itself. ---

I got that. Just letting you know, when something on the site is weird or not working correctly, I always check there first. More often than not there is a thread about whatever it is. 😆 ---

I have several older iPads (including the first and second versions). Very little actually works well with them. They are pathetically slow and many websites don’t load. As for my iPhone3, I just tried this website and it complained about secure connections. ---
