Since I read the forum postings on my iPhone, I’d be happy if Apple’s Reader Mode could be used:

On my Mac this would be nice too:

The fault lies with your iPhone and Safari and not with ProZ.com, if I understand correctly. Reader Mode analyzes the page and then changes its view, so perhaps it simply isn't smart enough to handle a site like ProZ.com.

You're right. I also installed and tested Mercury Reader for Google Chrome for a distraction-free reading experience, and only the first posting in a thread is displayed:

Firefox! Nov 5, 2020

Firefox probably has the smartest implementation of a Reader View/Mode. It can show whole threads in Reader view:

So it is indeed a browser-related issue.

Firefox for iOS Nov 5, 2020

Firefox for iOS has a very nice Reader View that also allows you to select a sepia or dark theme:

Search web pages Nov 6, 2020

Off topic but a great feature: Firefox for iOS allows you to search web pages for words.
