  I’ve just read that the on swipe theme for iPad has been disabled. Why? Nobody was told or warned that this was going to happen. I use I pad all the time and sometimes I do use the iPad theme, not often I grant you but it just seems odd that WP have done this so suddenly.

  Added to this the very poor response on the IOS forums I would say that iPad users are getting a raw deal.
  Any other iPad users on here who thinks this seems a little arbitrary.

  Did you read the sticky post at the head of the support forum?

  @timethief,
  Yes, I just saw it today. But I had no idea this was about to happen before then. However, I’ve just been deactivating it etc. I just wondered why they had done it as iPad users do seem to be low down in the pecking order. The waiting time for a response in IOS forums is very frustrating if indeed you get one at all.

  Thanks anyway TT.
