Hi
I view this forum on my ipad and what I would like if possible is bigger tabs for changing to the next page on threads with lots of pages.My fingers and thumbs are to big
Do other members have the same problem? D3 HSE

Not sure there's a lot Martin can do for Apple products tbh ...they don't tend to take well to the forum software 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Does not matter, iPhone or iPad, you can still zoom in on the page by "pinching it" and then click the buttons....
Or you could get smaller fingers Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders

I'll have a look, perhaps implement the drop-down system used on the mobile site. Just don't expect it this side of Crimbo 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Martin - another "upgrade" that would be useful ( that is on other forums) is the preview that appears in a pop up when you place the mouse cursor over a forum topic/title. First line or two gives the start of the post and whether it is what you are looking for.

Last time the site catered for the inadequacies of Apple the rest of us ended up with buttons half the size of the screen

Hows-about using one of them there touch screen "pens"?
A lot of sites (to be fair, all of Martin's LR sites are pretty good) have buttons etc that are too small for good sized fingers. So, if I'm doing a lot of shopping, for instance, on my stupid iPad thingy I use one of those "pens" which can be got for a few £'s off the bay-of-e.
Only a suggestion.....

I've looked at this before, and from a technical perspective this is either massively database intensive (it'll slow the site down) or requires another modification to the code and database, then applying to 1.38 million posts and counting 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
