iPhone issues - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**70STOVEBOLT** · 10-08-2020, 07:59 PM

Anyone else having problems with this site while using an iPhone? If looks like the pic below and when I log in it does not work. I thought it was a wireless issue but does the same when wireless is turned off.

My guess is it is selecting the Desktop style format instead of the mobile phone variation of the web browser. I am not as familiar with iphones, especially the newer models, so I don't know how to do their setting off the top of my head. By the looks of the screen, you may want to select the alternate mobil.... to see iif that corrects it.

I have been running the "desktop" version on this phone for years with no problems. Other websites seem to work fine. I tried using a different browser, same issues. It works fine on a desktop computer.

**Boog** · 10-09-2020, 08:04 AM

With the forum opened on your phone scroll down to the bottom of the page and look at the very left corner. It should display desktop like this.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 10-09-2020, 08:10 AM

My page doesn't look like that. It looks like this:

**70STOVEBOLT** · 10-09-2020, 08:11 AM

It doesn't matter which style I choose, it still looks the same. I tried it on my wife's phone last night and it is the same way, with or without wireless turned on.

**Boog** · 10-09-2020, 08:18 AM

Ah. Try the search button on this forum for phone issues you will see they have come up before, sometimes after an update. I have had them also.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 10-09-2020, 08:32 AM

I can choose Desktop style when the page opens, then it looks normal, I log in, and when I choose a forum, it reverts back to this:

**70STOVEBOLT** · 10-09-2020, 08:32 AM

Then it doesn't matter if I choose desktop or mobile, it doesn't change. Weird.

Chrome is doing it. Go back to the Safari browser. That's what I had to do.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 10-09-2020, 08:02 PM

It started with safari, that’s why I installed chrome to see if it was a safari issue

I can’t get out of the mobile version on safari. I use chrome and it seems to work fine.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 10-13-2020, 07:40 AM

It started working again, partially. The only thing now is that I cannot sign in. When I try and hit Login it just takes me back to the home page and the login info comes up again.

but you are logged in posting? Are you not posting from the phone or?

I dont know if this will work but worth a try. Open your Safari browser and at the bottom of the screen there is a book icon, open it. If this site is bookmarked or in your favorites delete it. Next move over to the clock icon at the top right. Touch that and clear your cache and history for all time.

Go back to your browser from there (click done) and search for 67-72chevytruckforum

The first one that comes up works for me, the second one for me opens like you keep showing.

Use the link from The 1947-Present chevrolet and gmc truck message board.

When it opens you might have to hit desktop mode twice. When (if) you get the correct window I would add it to favorites/bookmark

I still have to hit the open in desktop mode whenever i first log in here via my phone, but I dont get that impossible version you were having to deal with.
