When I mumsnet on my ipad if I follow a link I can't find the back button and end up having to close the page (browser) and opening mumsnet again. Is it just me?

Are you using the app or safari (or a different browser?)

If you hold your finger on the link an option box will come up saying open in new tab. It would stop you losing the original tab you were on by opening the link in another tab. Might help?

My links open in anew tab, so I just close the tab to return to the thread I was on

If you're using the app, following a link will take you out of the app and into Safari, so there won't be a back button. To get back to the app (assuming you have multitasking gestures turned on in Settings-General) use four or five fingers to swipe across the page and switch back to the app.
