Hello everyone
For a school project, I need to access yahoo finance on my iPad, but unfortunately, yahoo gives me the shrunken-down tablet version of the site. It won't let me do everything I need.
I am wondering if anyone knows how to make it load the full site?

I don't have an iPad but access the full site all the time on my iPhone. If you go to finance.yahoo.com it does indeed default to the mobile site. However, if you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page you should see

View: Mobile | Desktop

Just tap the Desktop link and you will be taken to the full site. Also, if you link to specific pages on the site, those should be completely shown. I have a link to my portfolio that I view all the time on my phone and it's the same thing that I see on my laptop.

I need to create a portfolio, with some sort of custom view. The create new portfolio is not the same as on a desktop, or at least it doesn't work the same.

Well I access my portfolio custom view on my iPhone and it looks exactly the same as it does on my MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. You just need to use the desktop version on your iPad, as I described above.

But I don't know, maybe this is different on the iPad and iPhone? I wouldn't think so though.
