Yes Robin, I am the chosen one and I am very happy to be. :D

I don't use my phone much for surfing or shopping and as I stated.....
The phone mobile version, although rarely used by me, seems a bit tedious to get around.
After reading AVO's statement....

I tried this for the first time and have found the same thing.

Now you can be happy. I have discovered something that doesn't work well.

CW Web Site Needs to be iPad Friendly

Post by gaf1958 »

I've found it very hit and miss on my iPad. The zoom function, as mentioned, heads off screen, but the thumbnail image selection under the main image is flaky. Sometimes it works, sometimes not - it's inconsistent and is more of a bother to me than the zoom function's behaviour. Generally speaking though I can live with it... but it would be nice if it was fixed.
Edit - I mostly use chrome, but it's the same on Safari

Have you tried using Tapatalk? It works really well on my phone, much better than a browser. Give it a try on the iPad.

We are talking about the CW sales site, not the forum. Isn't Tapatalk just for fora?

Oh that could be right. I don't have enough posts to access the sales area, I've just been using Tapatalk to browse the forums and its worked well for that.

Two completely different things:

CW Forum (this site - Sales Corner is part of it) - http://www.christopherwardforum.com/index.php

CW official site (the one we are talking about) - http://www.christopherward.co.uk/
