Block visibility for tablets isn't working properly.

On my iPad, I see blocks that aren't checked as visible.

On mobile, it's fine, but on iPad, it's wonky.

I'm specifically talking about the blocks located in the right column.

Could you let me know which blocks you are seeing? Just so I can take a look at reproducing on my end

Looks to be an issue generally. Reported this, thanks

Since the start of version 4, tablets in Invision Community have been defined by a screen width of 768px to 989px.

These days, tablets have significantly different resolutions (some of which overlap with laptop screens), so the term is quite redundant now. I've just enabled the "Tablet" setting on my local install and it's working as intended, but only when my site is viewed within the "tablet resolution range".

My suggested solution here would be to remove the tablet option altogether in favour of just "Small" and "Large" screen options. In your situation, your iPad is displaying the Desktop version of your site. Your widgets are being displayed since they're technically being viewed on a desktop resolution.

I'll add this to my list for a future update, but I don't have any immediate solutions just yet.

Perhaps tablets "in general" are identifiable via another parameter on the device itself. Like a user agent that would return information about the device type, without any doubt, and base its decision on that parameter for tablets rather than the resolution. I'm thinking aloud, sorry...

Thanks for writing that down somewhere for consideration.
