Browsing Issues.

Is it the PWA app? Screenshot please mate

This popped up five times in a row whilst I was trying to praise Beto for that goal!

It’s playing up in incognito mode too

More weird full screen ads that pop up, I swipe away and then they come back until I leave the page

Sounds like a joint Widnes rugby and football sides effort might be the way forward to keep a smaller ground going. I suspect with OT, the emptihad, KD and BMD to choose from, Elton John is unlikely back in town soon. Makes me wonder how the economics of old grounds used to allow them to survive. Standing vs seated, in for pennies and a few pints, semi-pro's on tiny contracts, local owners, provincial stuff.

Sign o'the times.

The site seems to take forever to load on my phone, almost like it`s warming up and also frequently freezes too.

The new ads absolutely kill the performance of my whole pc, both home and at work. Windows 10/11, Google Chrome, up to date. Ad Blocker back on for now. Performance much better (ie actually useable) with ads blocked.

Stagnating
Slow response time
Drained Battery
freezes at important times
Repetitive errors

Sounds all to Familiar..

I'm afraid I can't fix the Safari/iOS issues. I can see what browsers you're using and 90% of reports in here are using Safari.

It's not a fault our side, it's with Safari/Cloudflare. They pushed an update out that doesn't play with the other. The problems are occuring across all XenForo forums - I linked a few forum threads earlier with all the same messaging.

I've applied the patch/disabling HTTP/3 on Cloudflare - that, and you performing the below will/has improved things;

• 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.

But ultimately;

iOS and safari on iPad and phone are fine now for me.

Tho did have numerous problems last week, like others have stated.

Found browsing on private or using alternative browsers like opera/brave resolved the issues.

^ That is your best bet until iOS/Safari + Cloudflare resolve the issue.

This thread wasn't for reporting a few rogue ads - while appreciated - they'll always happen, it's for the OP issue.

The ad performance arent as good as the last ad agency, they load a little later but seems OK to me overall.

This place seems to keep knocking off my Speaker driver.

To be fair I am always on it so it may not be the case but it feels that every time a pop up video comes on I lose my sound and have to go into device manager and restart it.

It's not the end of the world (and may not even be this site!) but its a bit annoying.

I'm on Vivaldi/Chromium.

I have Firefox as my Default Browser on my laptop but I had to start using Chrome just for this platform because Firefox wouldn't stop telling me I was adblocking, when I wasn't.

On my Android phone I realised I was using Firefox aswell, although no permanent adblock warning, which doesn't make sense when it's the same Browser.
All the Issues I've mentioned before were happening non stop, I changed to chrome on my phone the other day and it was totally different, though I don't want to tempt fate..

Just tested both different browsers on my phone and there definitely seems a browser Issue, within about a minute my phone was burning up again on Firefox..

I went to look into this mate to fix it then clocked your a previousy banned multi and you also had adblock enabled. At that point I give up an figured easier to ban again than try an work an resolve.

I’ve had all the same problems as reported over the last few days.

I tried the fix this afternoon, your message outlined, for Safari/IOS/ iPhone and it’s a big improvement.

Fingers crossed.
