I understand that this site needs revenue and I appreciate it's existence SO much!
That being said, I've noticed very poor performance lately while using safari on my iphone 5s. The typing display often late far behind my actual typing, I keep loosing many posts when I hit the post button, pictures show that that take a very long time (minute or more) to upload to a post and often aren't actually posted.
Worst of all the adds for gaming apps keep redirecting safari to my mobile's App Store which is hugely frustrating and infuriating. Not sure that there is anything you can do about it but if you can, PLEASE DO!
Ads are fine but being constantly redirected to the App Store is making this site unusable. If anyone has got a work around it would be greatly appreciated.
The redirects come from tracking.crobo.com
Occasionally the browser actually redirects there as it's redirecting iOS to the App Store.
Seriously annoying. Makes using the iphone (my main access point) almost a nonstarter. Now I realize that this is likely due to the ad maker themselves exploiting some fault to iOS but serious LJ's can nothing be done?
The folks that run this shop need to contact whoever they use for ad servicing, most likely Google. If Google, they take this stuff seriously and will get it fixed by removing the offender (crobo.com) or getting them to shape up.
So far I have not been able to replicate it on using my iPhone or a tablet, but I will talk with our team tomorrow to see what I can find out. I know we were having problems with pop ups on phones which have since been blocked so let me see if they have a solution.
Cricket if it helps, it's only occurred with the game apps, the two that pop up constantly are the one recently seen on TV that "game of war" the other is some kim kardashian game.
And I haven't heard anyone else report this, but I'm having difficulty doing the Select operation within the "Have your say…" block on LJs. The options appear then disappear very quickly, taking multiple tries to get it to stay (to make the options selectable). Very frustrating.
Like now. If I want to 'copy' the word "frustrating" above, I'd tap and hold the word and "Select", "Select All" and "Paste" are the options. The bar that shows those items appears like a strobe, and disappears. Urgh.
I haven't had that particular experience but from my phone whenever I type into the text box it is very laggy. Sometimes it takes several seconds for the text I type to actually appear within the box (in fact it is occurring as I type this). I use several other online forums and have not seen this experience duplicated at any of them. I don't believe that any of them share a similar forum program to LJ's.
