Hi  I seem to be experiencing problems when viewing POL on Safari (iPad/iPhone) where the contents of the top line menu bar are missing. It works fine on Android and Windows, its just Safari that has the problem.  I have cleared the Safari browser cache but it still is wrong.  Anybody else got this problem or is it just me?  I have already mailed Dawn so just checking. Ta Screen grab attached.

I have never noticed this before but using safari on my MacBook, I get written links on the menu bar.  On my iPad I get icons, fewer of them but there is a standard 'stack of lines' at the RHS that gives a drop down menu. Certainly not the blank menu bar that you are getting.  In the process I did discover that my screen shot key presses don't work - isn't technology wonderful!  I did however manage to grab some iPad screen shots by screen mirroring - see below for what I get only iPad.  Both using Safari.

Thanks folks. Glad I'm not going mad - misery loves company. My guess is that it is an IOS level or settings related issue introduced yesterday by the POL team as I'm not getting any issues on other websites.  As I said I have already emailed Dawn.  Thank you again.

I have done the same Fiona and like you still having problems , no issues with other sites .  Checked the security settings etc but all ok with the setting , possibly to do with update by the tech as they are working on the spam issues , doing a fine job of preventing them posting their rubbish .
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Thank you for bringing the issue with the mobile menu on iOS devices to our attention. We believe we have identified and resolved the problem, which was related to a third-party provider of icon fonts. Could you please try again and let us know if the icons are now displaying correctly? We are aware that the icons may briefly flicker when loading. This appears to be a performance-related issue beyond our immediate control, but we are monitoring it closely. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Mark.
