    • This way in the event you have no content in blocks to left or right of the center column. Your content in the centre column will remain in the centre column. I'm not sure if this is your issue but from the looks of it, it could be. Otherwise, my bad. Someone else can take a stab at the solution for you. 

      • I have the public feed outline like set up. It works fine on desktop and iPhone just not the iPad. This is true, I only have one column on the home page. I have the outline public feed set up so it should fill the whole page. The leaderboard for the points module should do the same. If I do it as you suggested it will just go down the center. Thanks for the input.

        • Hello Tim Burleigh  ,

          Thank you for the report, we will check it. This block has new design in incoming update.  

          • There is also the problem with the public feed (outline) not displaying properly. it is also displaying in one vertical line on the homepage Andrew Boon 

            • Restart the iPad. Close all other pages and apps. See if the problem persists. 

              Apple has an unsolved memory distribution issue with ipads, laptops, and desktops, too. Their system software just gets bigger and bigger. Less memory is available for apps and web pages. So, in some instances, the device runs out of memory BEFORE all the css and javascript on a webpage can be downloaded or executed.

              Of course, Apple with their silly commitment of minimalism at all cost, is not going to give you a friendly pop-up box telling you what the simple problem was. That's YOUR problem, not theirs.

              (Most of their devices leave the factory with WAAAAY too little memory because memory is their highest profit product. They want to sell you more at the beginning and do not even allow for extra chips to be added later. In most cases, that is. Few exceptions.)

              Try your memory intensive front page on other computers, such as windows or linux. I have had the same ongoing problem with the iPad as you do now. Of course, it could be something else behind this frustrating issue.

              Good luck, Tim. 

              • I have restarted the iPad several times. It works properly on all other devices. Also I do not have an app. My current website is on browser only

                • A few weeks ago, I was at Walmart and checked my front page on one of their for-sale tablets. Sure enough, the iPad displayed it wrong and it was obvious that my custom template css file was not being loaded. I checked it later at home on my MacBook pro and it was pixel perfect.

                  I should have checked it on an Android or Windows tablet but I didn't think to. My gut tells me it is an Apple issue. Which is why their Safari browser continues to decline in popularity even though it is free and the default browser for their devices. Try downloading another browser for your iPad. Chrome or Firefox, for example.

                  • Thanks, I will try that.

                    • I downloaded chrome onto my iPad. I get the same result. I have a Amazon Fire tablet. It works fine.

                      • Interesting. I guess it's time for professional help. At least you and I have called attention to this annoying issue. It is real. Perhaps the developers here can find a work-around for the iPad.

                        A few years ago, I had a similar problem with Apple products. They would not alway play my UNA videos. Others platforms played them just fine. Thankfully, that is no longer the case..

                        Again, let me state the CSS rendering that was missing on the iPad were the very values and selectors I had put in my custom template setting for Protean. Which were supposed to overwrite the original settings. Something got held up in this process, imo.

                        I can also attest that when in the Apple Safari browser, if many pages are open - say 15 or 20 - the css does not properly render but there is simply a long list of items on the timeline home page.

                        • Outline will be displayed in a single column on iPad in vertical orientation, if you rotate it to portrait orientation it should be more columns. 

                          • I have tried that also and get the same thing.

                            • Don't give up Tim Burleigh you will figure this out

                              • Tim Burleigh this suggesting my be something you have probably done already, but have you tried changing the layout and clear cookies and cache

                                • Yep, done all that multiple times.

                                  • on the screenshot you provided it looks like you're displaying the "leaderboard" - is this correct? or is that your 'admin' homepage? when i go to your site, the homepage for me shows timeline posts.....

                                    • It was on the homepage. I took the leaderboard down.

                                      • All posts on the homepage are showing up in a vertical line on iPad. I still have not been able to get this corrected.
