My iPhone has stopped working properly with Pistonheads. If I try the Pistonheads address I get a page won't open, too many redirects message. If I click off a daily news email it is fine.

If I try to go onto the forums from the homepage it gives the same message, but if I open the 'discussion' from a news story it is fine. I can then navigate the forums from there.

If I try to leave the forums and go to the homepage I get the same error message.

I haven't been able to view Classifieds for over a week.

I tried clearing the Cookies and Data as suggested but rather than cure the problem it just closed the other 2 panes I had open then when I tried PH got the same message again. Is this to do with the mobile re-design stuff???

Should mention this is all from the full site, as I don't like the mobile layout, although mobile site isn't loading anyway.

It may not help, but does the mobile beta site work?

Mines been doing this for a few days now. It's ok if I click to go straight into the forums though.
I can get on to the mobile site ok and then the classic site from there no problem as well.

It is version 5.1.1 on an iPhone 4 (non-S). Haven't gone to os6 as not sure effect on performance / battery life on an older phone.

Not sure - iPhone used to try to default to mobile site but that doesn't seem to work now. How do I find the mobile site please?

At top of page click on "my preferences" select skin & you will see "mobile beta" click this & save.

Its happened to a few of us. The mobile site stopped being default about a week ago. The redirect message still appears when you clear your cache too. Theres a gremlin in the works somewhere.

Edited to add that saving the mobile beta version makes no difference - still end up with the full site after the redirects message.

Yes, I have this problem on an iPhone 4S running iOS 6 when trying to load the full site. I don't like the mobile site. It's hard to look back at old news. Refreshing the page usually sorts this problem out first time for me however.

Just for the record, I'm running iOS 6.1 on an iPhone 4 and have never had any problems using the forums at all. I have a bookmarklet on my phone that goes straight to the My Stuff page. I tend not to look at the home page much on my phone so can't comment on that.

Must be the homepage only then.
