    Need help from someone with a non-Apple tablet

    I'm the webmaster for the Henry Lawson Camera Club hlcc.asn.au ** and I recently did an update with the latest version of the web authoring software I use (Website X5).

    Now the pages no longer display correctly. I've put this at the top of the home page but while it displays correctly on late iOS and my PC, it doesn't on early iOS. My iPad has iOs 9.3.5 (latest for it) and doesn't display correctly, my wife's has 10.4.2 and displays correctly.

    Note for iPad users:
    iOS 9.3.5 (and possibly iOS versions before 10.2) and earlier will not display pages properly as they do not support CSS Grid objects. There will be a large expanse of white below the header image. Scroll down to see the rest of the page. I'm not sure what work-around can be done. The developers of the web software I use, say there is no work-around.
    I'd like an Android or other tablet user to view it as to tell me if they see a normal page or just the banner and a blank screen below it. If the latter, you should be able to scroll done to content.

    ** You won't find my pix there, I recently deleted my photo essays and gallery as I was no longer a member of the club even though I am still webmaster (I built the site).

    I have a Samsung Note 9 phablet running Android 9 (Pie). It shows the page banner and then some empty frames, and it doesn't scroll down.

    I've also got a Windows tablet running Windows 9 (I think) and the website displays perfectly.

    Need help from someone with a non-Apple tablet

    Just hopped onto my mum android tablet

    oh and can now read you message to Apple users, problem is they might not be able to see the message as I couldn’t see the message on my iPhone. I didn’t bring my iPad this trip.

    Everything looks to be working fine on mum device
    Galaxy Tab A
    Android version 5.0.2
    Kernel version 3.10.49-5975985

    Appears software could be an old version

    Thanks everyone.

    Yes, I had noticed that the message can't be seen on old Apples. When I put it there I hoped it would be visible but it wasn't to be. I left it as I hoped users might see it on other devices and would know what to do if they then accessed the site with an older iPad.

    Re not displaying on a phone - that's something else that's changed. I had also noticed it and wondered what I have to do to fix it. Gaaahh!

    Thanks araphiles for the info about the Samsung not displaying nor scrolling.

    I think I'll have to revert to an earlier version of the authoring software (and probably lose something).

    The other site I am webmaster for Blue Mountains Amateur Radio Club uses WordPress and it displays correctly (albeit differently) on a phone.
