iPad query re lost tabs. Basically my collection of tabs cleared itself... [View all]

This has happened before, and all I could figure was that I might have accidentally hit something on the screen with my thumb that told it to clear. It’s really annoying, but I’m usually able to retrieve by googling.

This time, however, I was trying to catch up on my daily newspaper for the past 2 or 3 weeks, so over a dozen tabs were up. The e-version of the LA Times comes in my email, I click in the link, and get to read it online. BUT, I have to click every day and keep the tab open till I’m done. For reasons I don’t know, I can’t just go back to day before yesterday’s email link and get day before yesterday’s newspaper — it automatically reverts to today.

So an hour ago I did something that caused the whole damn thing (the tab bar) to clear. All I have left are today’s newspaper and DU. Did I inadvertently open a second window? If so, how do I undo, and find the window with all the tabs I’m not done with yet?

I feel stupid. But I’m also really hooked on the convenience of this pad — I can sit wherever I want, and (of increasing importance) I can blow up the font for readability.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
