@Bournesnr I don't have an ipad so I'm not sure whether the controls are the same as on my android tablet, but basically I hit the 3 vertically aligned dots menu and then scrolled down to where it said Desktop site. If it's unticked you're using the mobile site and if it's ticked you're using the web version. I tried replicating the problem on my tablet the other day for the benefit of you and @bazjonster, but it was working fine for me back then. However I tried it just now to check the precise wording of the menu and it looked similar to what you described (except without the ads). Switching over to the desktop version of the site did the trick, and it seems to be fine again once I go back to the mobile version. Can you guys give that a go and see if that works for you as well?
Thanks for trying aliwibble but I don’t have the dots menu, I have been all through my settings menu and cannot find anything referring to mobile or desktop, this started when I was away using a strange WiFi the battery died and when recharged I had the access to CL problem, back home now but the problem persists, not sure if this is re
Problem resolved for me, bazjonster try:
Settings
Safari then from the right hand list select advanced I turned off the JavaScript button and hey presto I can now see all posts.
I must be more computer savvy than I thought.
Update perhaps I'm not as clever as I thought, I now have another issue whilst I can see all posts when in my profile if I click the 'like' button or 'lol' button I get the message that I need JavaScript enabled, think I can live without seeing who's liking my posts.
Hmm, the fact that it worked ok when you turned javascript off suggests there's a script running that's causing a problem. Unfortunately that side of stuff is not my thing, so I can't really help - @LoOkOuT have you got any ideas?
The difference between the two different versions of the site is interesting, and rules out one possible workaround, so thanks for that. This is going to be a case of the blind leading the blind here I'm afraid, as I don't use iOS, so I've got no idea what the config options are like. Try this to find the version info: https://www.lifewire.com/check-the-version-number-of-safari-446563 (you'll need to scroll down a bit for the "Find the Safari Version Number on an IOS Device" section). It's also worth checking to see if it says you need to update to the latest version. If it does, don't do the update straight away, as it might be a good idea to do some backing up of important stuff first, but let us know what it says.
Just putting my ten pennyworth in here for what it is worth I had a similar scenario of only seeing adverts when i had my IPad, and it was on IOS 9.5.3, and wouldn't upgrade as it was too old, which i took as an answer as to why CL wouldn't load, and would only show the adverts. Went on to purchase a laptop, and all's well on that. So, what i am getting at is for what it is worth, is it just the IOS being too low, and unable to run CL (not sure what IOS CL is on? )
Have followed the instructions and it appears I'm running 10.3.3
Thanks for the input eastterrace mine is an old iPad but was working fine until 3 weeks ago.
No problem Bournesnr, my IPad was just too old and wouldn't go past 9.5.3, and as you, just all of a sudden only adverts, so it may be time to upgrade, you are not too far above where i was. Maybe AFKA will shine a light on your problem
Seeing AFKA post above, looks like CL runs at an IOS of 12.4.9 and if so, your 10.3.3 is too low, and maybe an upgrade is answer. Be interesting to find solution
@stonemuse sounds to me like you might have a content blocker (or the changes Apple's made to protect you against data collection) that's affecting the Twitter embeds. Have a look at your Safari preferences.

cabbles: Once the bitcoin market has closed.
AFKA: Never, it's a technical question.
Aliwibble: Once she has moved 400 quotes to different threads.
Bigrob: He will look into it.
Checked on Google Chrome and no problem there.
Is this now a fact of life or can I do anything to correct it?
Cheers
