Can't sign in

Just last week, I was able to sign in to lichess, but now tapping 'Sign in' has no effect. Can you please fix this?

I am currently using Safari on iPad.
Unfortunately I can't try out safari, that browser won't run on Linux. Can someone else try to login using Safari? With or without an iPad. Thanks!
I'm having a similar problem. I can't sign out. I'm using Chrome btw
fx e o to mobili
a workaround is: click for 2seconds on the sign-in-button, click open in new tab - voila...
This is a rambling post that is really work procrastination. It's probably a good thing that I can't easily use lichess on my iPad.

I tried chrome on an iPad 4.

The 2secondPress-newTab workaround worked for the sign-in, but then I couldn't use the drop-down menu to reach my profile with my game list. It did offer a new tab option, but the url was en.lichess.org/#.

The work around for that was to go to the 'people' tab, then click on my username.

But like guzu above, I couldn't sign out.

In github.com/ornicar/lila/blob/master/todo,
the only ipad related entry seemed to be: '31. not possible to copy the link URL invite when using a touch device. Can this be easily fixed by adding an automatic "copy" button next to the link?'

The color and language drop down lists also "don't work". I suspect that there'll be problems whenever the interface needs to temporarily create something 'floaty'. I'm guessing that lots of little changes would clutter the nice simple interface. It might be better to wait until after the next big lichess overhaul. Or until touch devices work nicer :-)

Is it possible for lichess to 'ask' the browser whether it's a touch device? Perhaps conditionally change the interface to convert the drop down lists to links to pages containing the information.
I wish I have the time to fix that, but I don't. It's on the todo list tho.
