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 work. Anything else I could be checking?

I also did all the basic stuff (restart phone, clear cache, clear history, etc.). Nada.

EDIT: Just wanted to add – up until yesterday afternoon (US CDT), the SDMB was working perfectly. Then, just like that - _[snap!]_ - nothing but white.
