Having some navigation troubles with new iPad. Say I'm looking at a thread in Mumsnet - there's a link - go to that link - how do I get back to original thread? Also having trouble bookmarking favourite sites etc., miss favourites.
Many thanks.

You can follow links on MN on iPad? I'm jealous, they don't work for me. :( In the meantime, do you have a back button at the top of the screen? (I do, but am also a virgin with this contraption.)

I think if you press safari at the bottom all your open pages will show up

I just leave my favourite pages open on it permanently, thye stay when I switch off and on again

sorry, hang on I just got my ipad and checked.. if you look at the toolbar at the top of your page, there should be a number on the left? The number indicates how many pages you have open, click on it to navigate to one of the other pages

Click on the two squares thing at the top, this then shows all your open pages.

Thanks to everyone, will try all suggestions. Love the iPad, but still love my "old" laptop.

Press the square at the top left with a number in it, that will show you all your open pages and you can then choose a page, or close pages, or open a new page from that screen

The book icon beside it is for bookmarks.

trixymalixy · 26/06/2011 11:37

The square with an arrow coming out of it next to the book allows you to add bookmarks b

OldLadyKnowsNothing - to follow links on iPad you have to either touch them twice or hold the link till the menu comes up & then touch 'Open' Touching links once only brings up the 'bookmark' button.
