I've always been a PC / Windows guy but recently got an iPad. When I select "new posts" with it I get a "there are no results" type of response. If I go into the individual forums I can see that there are new posts and can access them.
Can one of you Apple types help me out? Do I need a SS app?
Thanks

No - my iPad functions exactly the same as my MacBook (laptop) and my PC. I never use the "New posts" link but a quick check and it seemed to work fine on my iPad. I always just click the various forums and the threads with new posts are in bold, so I check that way.

There is an app called Tapatalk that is used to read forums such as this, but the forum software has to be updated to support it and I don't believe this Shopsmith forum has been. I can't speak for the iPad, but I use a web browser on my Android phone and tablet to access the forum frequently and the "New Posts" link works just fine.

I started having that problem when I updated my iPad to iOS 5. Clearing cookies for me is a temporary fix at best. No problem when I used iOS 4.
My workaround was to change my forum-browsing style. Now I start at the top menu level, and drill down wherever the highlighted icons indicate unread posts. But I have to be careful to drill back up through each menu level ... not using the Back button ... or else the icons will still show unread posts.

A better solution is to use Android instead of iOS.

I won't get into brand wars but I have tried the suggested fixes to no avail. OK almost no avail. Inexplicably, every once in a while it forgets and works as expected.
I will change to browsing individual forums. (That'll teach it)
