Question Ipad and TOTV

I have been accessing totv on my ipad probably for the last year without any problems. However, for the last 2 days I find that the formatting is all screwed up. After clicking on new posts I get a list of the new posts. However the pages are in the upper left hand corner, not in the lower right. When I access a message the print is too small to read and the message goes off the screen to the right. Of course I can increase the message size but never had to do this before.

Probably no one else is having this problem with their ipads and totv but just wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone has any good recommendations for a fix. BTW, the other websites that I go to are normal.

I do not have any problem with my IPAD and TOTV. I would like to recommend you sign out of TOTV on your IPAD and then sign back in-you will have to log in with your log in and password. See if that helps. Just an idea.

It seems to be working ok now. I did log off and then on again but initially that didn't change anything. Went to my settings but didn't change anything there but it 's ok now. Hope this lasts.

Excellent! Sometimes you have to log out of a site when it becomes challenging and log back in, it seems to clear whatever ailed it.

Don't know if you know this or not, but you can change the size of any page by using two fingers on the ipad. Place your thumb on the screen and then move your index finger as if you are scrolling.This will increase the size. If you pinch the two fingers together, you decrease the size. Perhaps your thumb was touching the screen. Hope this helps.

I tried to change the size with my fingers and was able to make it readable. However the formatting was off.
