Broken linking on iPad

[vanx]

Hi,

Whenever I tap a forum section or a thread name, it turns green. I have to tap it one more time for it to actually navigate into the relevant item. This is being experienced on iOS 5.1 on the new iPad using non-mobile version of the forum.

Thanks for taking a look :)

I doubt this is a widespread problem but I'll ask our iPad hero Timan to take a look.

I can confirm this affects iPad 2 running iOS 5-5.2

I am not having any issues on my ipad, just went to the forum (full theme) and single tap is all that was needed.

[vanx]

For me, it happens only with forum sections, not individual threads. How can we debug it?

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

Been happening with me as well

Does it with other Forums as well, so doubt it's a neowin issue

*edit - oh hey it does turn green, how bout that.

[Timan Veteran]

Are you using the mobile or full versions of the skin?

I cant seem to get this to happen on my ipad.

Full.

Desktop version on forums, Pegasus theme

Can't reproduce it, only takes a single tap on any link so far.

Happens on mine as well, running 5.0.1 I believe. Full site version and Mobile do the same thing, turns green, gotta tap again.

Likewise here, iOS 5.0.1. Attached some photos of it after the first tap.

Not sure about the third photo if it's supposed to happen, but the forum heading becomes underlined. A 2nd tap then goes to that forum.

[Timan Veteran]

Can you try it on the "default" pegasus theme, not midnight/colors.

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

It's a double tap on links on the main forum, single for any link inside the forums.

Another way in which it is broken :rofl:

Still occurs on Pegasus:

I'm just guessing here, so please test to see if its fixed. (clear cache or refresh a few times)

[RatherLargeBear]

Seems to be fixed now. :)

Not for me. Now the first tap seems to "favourite" a forum section. 2nd tap drills into it.

Nope. Still the same.

[Timan Veteran]

Fixed. Now?

[nominak]

Fixed. Now?

yes it is

[Timan Veteran]

Finally. This is why we should all buy galaxy tabs and xooms

[vanx]

Fixed. Now?

No, it is not. The workaround that seems to be implemented is to mark all forums as favourite, which is undesirable.

[Damian]

Clear your cache maybe? It works fine here.
