Latest updated to style (last 2-3 days) made experience on iPad worse. You should target mobile style to iPhone only since iPad has much more real-estate.

I agree with Tekimono. On the ipad the font is now giant with no ability to zoom out. Have to hold the ipad at arm's length to read

I had to wall mount my iPad and stand back 6 feet to be able to read giant fonts. :mrgreen:

No, for reasons I explained in Does HB.com have a handheld form-factor, e.g. for iPhone? If my tweaks to the standard template aren't good enough, there are mobile templates for phpBB3 out there.

Would you post the user agent string? Click here and post the result. For me, the iPhone shows:
iPhone4 wrote:Browser is Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Mobile/8B117 Safari/6531.22.7
Based on what I read online, the initial keyword will be 'iPad'. I added a check that ignores the iPad as a mobile device under the assumption that its resolution is good enough.

Good, that's the agent string I expected. The check should ignore it as a mobile device now. There are fancier checks that could take into consideration its higher-than-normal resolution, but given what I've seen of it in the Apple store, it really doesn't need scaled down access to this site.

Nope, it doesn't. It's big enough to work well using native display options

thank you.
