Agree with Adam Smith on all counts -- I'm happy to dump on Apple
but I am another Android user who does not see wikis in mobile mode. If I force Opera to show desktop mode, then I see them. Same thing in Chrome -- wikis do not appear in mobile skin, but do appear in desktop mode.
EDIT: I'm now using Chrome on my laptop, and even on a desktop browser, appending ?styleid=22 to the URL causes wikis to disappear. So the issue is clearly with the mobile skin implementation/coding of FT, not any particular platform like IOS or Android.
Dear IB, it's almost 2023, it's just ludicrous to ignore the mobile browser market when designing/testing features.
In particular, many long running threads have wikis with collected wisdom/info accumulated by FTers over the years. Newbies or people with common questions are often referred to the wiki as a resource of information. When they can't even see the wiki they're going to wonder what the heck people are talking about, and having a subpar experience turns people off from wanting to use FT in the future. So if nothing else, appeal to your bottom line...
(And this isn't even considering the long standing issue where because of *?#$@ infinite scroll you can't even see wikis in mobile unless you tap on << to go to the first page)
