Buggy Sites on Thurrott.com

Hello Support Team,

I would like to report a major problem with the Thurrott website. The pages do not work properly depending on the size of the display in the browser.

No problem on the desktop, but very unpleasant on an iPad Pro.

The problem occurs with almost all sub-pages. The main page and podcast page are OK.

The problem has been there since last year. I thought it would be fixed soon. But this is not the case. I already reported this directly to the support but thought it wouldn’t hurt to document it here.

        <blockquote><em><a href="#397470">In reply to goetti:</a></em></blockquote><p><br></p><p>That ticket has not been closed. The issue is in the queue with our front-end developer and is slated to be released in the next code push we make to this site which is likely to happen within the next 7 days. </p>
