Browsing Issues.

[bcblue1878]

Have had big problems on i Pad/iOS for a while now. Opening up threads, the page constantly bounces back to the top of the page - this can happen loads of times!
Just typing out this post the page has “refreshed” about 10 times already!
Tried the site on my PC yesterday for the first time in years and had no issues at all?

And both are relatively recent issues - as in they didn't occur until recent weeks?

Mine - probably last couple of weeks or so! As I mentioned have tried the fixes already mentioned but it’s still going on, “refreshed” the page 5 times while typing this!

….No, I’ve posted previously about that view so it’s happened for a bit now. Also difficult to switch forums, often need to come out of the site and go back in.

That’s the template loading problem caused by either a slow load-in or a break in conmection.
It continues to use the broken template after things have returned to normal. Another symptom is the site appearing in Times New Roman.
The whole thing loads in using Times New Roman than ‘fixes’ to the proper typeface. Sometimes if the interruption is before the ‘fixing’ you are left in TNR which looks a bit odd.

Close the page then reopen solves it.

Still getting stuff like this below, page reloading quite a bit when am able to browse and general sluggishness. Not major issues but just highlighting incase it can help towards resolving the issues

For my own ref/tech folk.

Disabled HTTP/3 in Cloudflare following reports;

ARRSE Not Loading - 28 Apr 26

Been getting this off and on all day. Loads ok when I click the button.

Page could not be loaded

I just had this happen to me as well, really surprised me. No ad/content blockers, SSL certificate is fine. Does your site also on Cloudflare? It happens sometimes here on XF because Cloudflare DNS is down sometimes.

‘Page could not be loaded’ error

I’m curious how many folk have been seeing this absurdly non-specific error over the past few days. I’m seeing it a lot, and I know some others are. I’ve no idea what it means. Google gives me nothing tangible. There are no errors in the XenForo admin control panel, no errors at the server host...

had this for the past week on my iPhone. Have to scroll very slowly but even then it still happens within a few seconds. I can refresh but it happens again.

Touch wood but mine’s been fast the last day or so.

Again with the caveat that I’ve had some false dawns , so far this morning it’s been fine

Thanks for updates.

It's a widely reported issue on XenForo forums (the forum software) and looks like an issue between iOS/Safari devices and Cloudflare (a paid for service we have to use). iOS/Safari and Cloudflare release updates and it seems one has caused an issue.

Despite being widely reported, we're still in a space where forum admins are trying to cobble together what is broke and a temp fix until iOS/Safari, Cloudflare or XenForo provide a patch. As an admin on another forum mentioned;

The thing that surprises me about the current issues is they don’t result in any errors at ‘my end’, i.e. regardless of Cloudflare delays or time-outs anywhere in the world XenForo and the MySQL database that lies behind it manages to keep all its ducks in a nice neat row. This thread has given me a whole world of pain, but no matter how bad the end-user experience my bit (XenForo) saw no data corruption or anything bad. Zero errors in the admin CP log. The issues are purely with the CDN, which is ultimately out of my hands.

^ it's a nightmare to work out the issue because everything a forum admin can control says things are fine.

It's not an issue with the server, or our forum.

Apparently the temporary fix which people have reported some success with is disabling HTTP/3 on Cloudflare which we've had enabled for many years, which I did at 4pm yesterday. It could be worth repeating the below if you haven't since 4pm yesterday;

• The Service Worker on your iPhone might be trying to load an old version of a file that no longer exists on the server.
• The Fix: Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data, find the forum URL, and swipe left to delete it. This forces Safari to register a fresh Service Worker.
