i will have to try again with a different browser this time, i was using safe browser by Kaspersky on the iPad and it wouldn't let me type a reply, i could only quote a post.Malcolm:
If you are using the HTF app on your iPad, yes, it is now dead. Something new is in the works.
In the meantime, the forum is now available through whatever browser you normally use on your iPad. And it has been configured especially for that experience. It is "mobile-friendly."
