Default TOTV site problems on new iPad

My new iPad seems to be working ok except on the TOTV site.

It displays a weird background (e.g., multiple lines that say "clubs" repeatedly) and odd colors. Any ideas on how to correct this? Other sites I access look normal.

Already tried turning it off and on.

Welcome to the club. Mine works okay for a day and then it's back to multiple identical thumbnail picture all over the place or smiley faces - the only site I have a problem with.

I can't get "New Posts" on my ipad. I just shows the TOTV graphic. Weird.

I can get New Posts, but the background (clubs, clubs...a million times and the graphic banner) make it difficult to read.

Try a different browser besides Safari such as Chrome on the iPad. If it persists it is a web design issue.

Try hitting the refresh button at the top of the screen twice. That fixes the problem for me. Saw that on a previous thread

Admin has been trying to fix this problem for weeks. Some days are better than others. Occasionally, I haven't been able to read one word on the entire page!

The "refreshing" worked for me. Thanks for the tip MrGolf.

I have an older iPad 2 and mine does it also.
Apple is so pripriatory, I am sure it is their protections causing the problem.

I had a problem after I did the latest update on my iPad, the site looked crazy, I posted on here and was recommended to just do a refresh of the page and it worked wonderfully. At the top the URL bar do a refresh tal the arrow circle to refresh the page and see what happens it worked for me.
