Can we fix the wiki on mobile?

[Tony Atkins]

Hi, All:

When the dust settles, I would like to take a few minutes to leave a proper
bug report on the problems we encountered, as it seemed the plugin was
obviously trying and failing to deliver the content rather than delivering
the wrong content.  Avtar, can I get a copy of the atlassian-confluence.log
file for yesterday?

Thanks,


Tony
