bradybarrows Posted November 4, 2023 Posted November 4, 2023 There is a glitch I am experiencing when viewing our website on a mobile device (iPhone). It does this quite often on just about all the posts in the forum. Take this example: https://irosacea.org/forums/topic/4029-fake-rosacea-news/ On a computer (iMac) the following comes up (see attached file ScreenshotFakeNews.pdf). I can then click on the screen and it goes to the post. On my iPhone all I can view is the 'FAKE NEWS' screen on my device and I cannot figure out how to get to the post. This seems to be some sort of glitch on a mobile device. If this is how other viewers of our web site are struggling to find the post, I am sure they are completely frustrated and leave the site. Guests will be so irritated that they don't bother browsing our site for rosacea data. Is there a way to turn off this feature on mobile devices so that that the huge 'FAKE NEWS' screen isn't triggered so I can eliminate this glitch? ScreenshotFakeNews.pdf
opentype Posted November 4, 2023 Posted November 4, 2023 It looks like you are accidentally using Apple’s Reading View. https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-use-reader-view-in-safari/
Solution bradybarrows Posted November 6, 2023 Author Solution Posted November 6, 2023 opentype, you are so helpful. I feel like a child when you explain such a simple solution to this glitch. There is so much to know about keeping a website hosted on invision community, especially for a non profit organization. We simply don't have any volunteers to help me in this web hosting. I am glad Android users don't have to worry about switching from Apple's reading view vs whatever. We are barely hanging on trying raise enough donations to keep paying Invision Community's hosting fees. We have enough to get through 2024 but we can't get subscribers to post. They want rosacea data but they don't want to post at all. Weird. Twenty years ago it was so different, but now the younger rosacea sufferers are so different. They don't like to post in forums an prefer the social media sites which are mindless and difficult to search for research. We keep plugging away to trying to figure out how to attract rosacea sufferers.
