But it does not seem to be an ipad  problem, as I have exactly the same results on my pc.  Could it be an account problem?

I'm not sure at all on that, it's an odd one.  So there are boards where you're not seeing all of the threads?  If we can find an example of something that's missing at your end, we can try to replicate on other machines and see what the problem might be?  Obviously it's hard to see something that's missing but if there were any boards in particular with issues we can try there?

The photos section was one a couple of people reported issues with earlier:

Oddly enough, for the photos link I get "The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you." but the 18th century link works. None of these links are visibly seen however on my main board. I am using Google Chrome and frequently clear my cache.

Which does seem to be some sort of permissions thing in the account if there's something that locks people out of certain areas?

Just out of curiosity, I checked my own profile and found a whole bunch of settings under several headings including "look and layout".  It might be worth seeing if your account has something other than defaults that is affecting what you see.   Sometime, somehow, some might have been set in a way you dont want.

Thanks for the idea Dave, I had not looked at my profile before. Unfortunately, however, there appears to be nothing out of the ordinary there, so the hunt goes on!

Mollinary has sent me some screenshots of the Forum homepage at his end, which actually match mine, so can anyone else have a look at this for us?  If you go to the Forum homepage and scroll down to the 'Wider Wargaming' section, do you have the sub-boards visible underneath 'Genre/Period Discussion'?

Or does it just look like this:

Genre/Period Discussion
For discussion of different genres of wargaming or specific periods of history.

Must be a profile issue?

It's specifically the 'Genre/Period Discussion' board we're looking at here, so you're not seeing them either from your screenshot?  There should be sub-boards showing underneath the 'Moderator: Lord Speedy of Leighton' bit?

If anyone clicks into 'Genre/Period Discussion', how many sub-boards are you seeing at the top of the page?  There should be 5?

Ah sorry!

It's *within* Genre/Period; I'd misread that as being the only one you could see within wider wargaming :D

No, I see five there as per Monsieur Speedy ;)

I see the expected 5 sub-boards under Genre/Period Discussion on all my devices.
