I don't know, I probably touched something without knowing,,,
On my I-phone, the CJ2A page forums page is too big for the screen - I have to keep scrolling back and forth sideways to read posts. It wasn't always this way, and it's only the CJ2A page that seems to be affected. Maybe some little kid will read this and tell this dummy how to fix it . Thanks. BW

Sounds like you are in mobile mode. Go to the bottom of the front page and choose classic

Thanks Jeff, but it's always been in mobile mode. If I change it to classic, I can see the whole page, but the print is so small that I can't read it. BW

hold down the "power" button and the "home" button at the same time until the screen goes black then the Apple appears again.
this causes a "soft" reset back to a known safe point.....

Somethings went screwy. Not at all uncommon for electronic devices to have to sometimes.............. do this.
Close all open pages and apps Then go to settings on your phone Scroll down to Safari Scroll down from there and Click on and clear all history and website data. Whatever the problem is this step should clear it up. Then do a reset on your Iphone as described by lowenuf That should finish eliminating whatever history storage glitch that is messing up the page When your i phone boots back up Be aware that you will at this time be asked to sign back in to the forum and possibly any other apps or forums that you use. Examples could also be you WILL have to sign back in to pay pal, whatever photo app you use, and Facebook if you even use it No IMPORTANT information will be lost if you can remember your passwords or have them stored on your phone. Once logged back in you should be good to go. In theory the glitch will be eliminated Charles Edited by PapaC - 18 July 2016 at 1:11am |

"In theory the glitch will be eliminated"
Well, Lowenuf's idea didn't work, so I tried PapaC's suggestion, and that didn't work either. BW

Ok sorry. Scratch that theory.
Here's something else to try and I'm not EVEN commits myself to a theory on this but it won't take long to try and this time you won't have to re-set your passwords. Try closing everything again and go back to settings Safari And temporarily change search engines. You should see a choice between GOOGLE, YAHOO, BING, or DUCKDUCKGO. Haven't ever messed with the last too but change temporarily from yahoo to google......or from Google to yahoo. Then turn off your phone so the setting will fully take effect and see what happens. Remember and luckily even though you change search engines you won't lose passwords. When I've done this before i usually wind up going back to my own favorite search engine which is Google but that's a matter of choice. Note that once in the past I too had the cj2a page blow out of portion but me memory won't let me remember exactly what I did to fix it. I THOUGHT it was the first idea I posted but uh.....,that theory has been proved to not hold water!! All I can say is sorry Charles Tate |
