My original full size iPad only displays an exaggerated Polk background when I connect to the forum at forum.polkaudio.com, while the iPad Mini is okay. It started sometime this morning. Anyone else having issues?

I’m on an iPad Air and not having any issues, but I DO get the screen below for about half a second when moving between screens on the forum (took me a few tries to get a screen shot of it, as it’s that brief...)

Yes, that is it all the time on my full size iPad with iOS 9.3.5, which is the last version Apple supports on this hardware.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

I am getting this on my tablet (iPad Mini 2nd Gen) and my computer as well (Win7, Google Chrome.) I don't have the problem with that showing up all the time.

What browser are you using?
In Chrome you click the three dots on the top right, select "settings" I think? And then scroll down. It may be under advanced at the bottom of the page.
I can't remember how to do it in Safari. -
Found it. Thanks.
Same problem. No help, and now I have to re-add all my sites. LOLLumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

The issue, most likely, is the OS version on the iPad. Apple quit supporting the iPad hardware I have, first Retna display. The real problem is Vanilla does a terrible job of QAing their updates.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

Ding ding ding... Winner!
Also, I get it that companies can’t support hardware indefinitely, but a 10-12 year old iPad should not be abandoned to the trash heap. Unfortunately, when they stop the software updates, they are forcing you into new hardware. I still have my first iPad, and functionally it works great, but from a software point of view, it’s almost useless. Now it just runs the Oppo app to control my 105.

Yeah... I fired up an iPad mini First Gen just to test this, but it shows only that background image posted earlier... no links, no menus, nothing to click.
My current iPad Pro has no problems, nor does Mac OS (even on an ancient MacBook Pro from 2010, which I keep around for testing purposes).
I’m wondering what other browsers could be installed that might get around your problem, but honestly, with the new entry level iPad at $330, including compatibility with an Apple branded docking keyboard and pencil, I’d advise moving on. Tablets are more like phones than laptops when it comes to lifespan, so even if older iPads still function, you’ll have a much happier experience with something shiny and new.
I consider 5 years to be the usable life expectancy of iPads and laptops anyway (although laptops will continue to perform well with some Linux distributions for another five years or so). You may not realize it, but you’re losing out after that, in both functionality and comfort, and it really shows when you try an updated model. Smartphones will work fine after 4 or 5 years also too, but for those I enforce a self-imposed lifespan of three years before upgrading, for similar reasons (you just don’t realize how much you’re missing out).

Okay, I did some searching on the iPad Mini 1st Gen.
Firefox, Chrome, Opera Touch and Edge browsers are NOT compatible with iOS version 9.3.5. However, Puffin browser will work. So that could be your solution for now. It has good reviews from what I can tell, but honestly, I used it for the first time ever just a few minutes ago!
I’d still consider a juicy deal on the new iPad, or a refurbished iPad from Apple. They’re like new, and it’s impossible to tell they’ve ever been used. Not a single scratch or blemish anywhere.

Refurbished iPads from the Apple Store
Every iPad I’ve ever purchased (over ten of them, between the kids, the wife, and myself) has been through the Apple refurb shop. With the exception of the one my daughter broke dropping it on the tile floor, every one of them still functions. The only reason the old ones are not in service is lack of software support.

Checked on the significant other’s iPad Air 2 (from 2014) and Club Polk works fine in Safari on that model (which will also be upgradable to iPad OS when it is released) so only iPads stuck on iOS 9.3.5 seem to be affected by the Vanilla Safari bug (Safari works normally for everything else). Everything from an iPad Mini 2 and newer is compatible with iOS 12.x, so they shouldn’t experience the bug.
Since iPad OS is about to be released (in lieu of iOS 13 for iPads), here is the full list of compatible iPads from OSX Daily
12.9-inch iPad Pro 3rd generation (2018 model)
12.9-inch iPad Pro 2nd generation
12.9-inch iPad Pro 1st generation
11-inch iPad Pro (2018 model)
10.5-inch iPad Pro
9.7-inch iPad Pro
iPad 6th generation (2018 model)
iPad 5th generation (2017 model)
iPad Air 3 (2019 model)
iPad Air 2
iPad mini 5 (2019 model)
iPad mini 4
... and just for gits & shiggles:
iPhone models compatible with iOS 13
iPhone XS
iPhone XS Max
iPhone XR
iPhone X
iPhone 8
iPhone 8 Plus
iPhone 7
iPhone 7 Plus
iPhone 6s
iPhone 6s Plus
iPhone SE
It’s not the end of the world if a device is NOT on the list. It will still function normally, but some applications will not get updates in future... and as shown here, things like Vanilla might stop functioning normally.
I still use a 3.5” iPod Touch 4 from 2010 almost every day, and it’s surprising good for everything that I use it for, even though it’s stuck on iOS 6.1.6!Alea jacta est! -
