Is anyone else having a problem with their screen keep freezing. It only does it on this site, not anyth8ng else at all on my iPad? @everydayupsanddowns any advice?
That happens to me occasionally. I just log out then log back in again. It’s not persistent. Don’t know whether it’s peculiar to iPads, and it’s not happening often enough to discern whether it’s at a certain time of day.
The last couple of Saturday mornings, there’s been half an hour to an hour round about 9am when I either couldn’t get on, or couldn’t load the next page, I got one of those vague messages that the server was having problems, or that there were too many people using the site.
I'm on an iPad.
Yes I’ve noticed that, just during the last week or so. Usually as soon as I visit the site it hangs, does recover if I wait patiently enough but it's a bit annoying! Shutting down my browser and restarting doesn’t make any difference. It's nothing to do with logging in as i don’t usually bother unless I want to post something, if I'm just browsing I don’t. Doesn’t happen on any other website. I’m on an iPad too

It’s been happening a lot recently & not just on my iPad; my MacBook Pro & iPhone too! Some photos don’t load either & I can’t see what members posted but, come back on another time & the photos DO load; all just a bit dodgy recently about seeing things on this site, getting booted off suddenly & can take ages before I can get back on? 🙄
Hi. I've never had a problem with this site with screen freezing but I use a fast desktop with cable connection to the router. I suspect it could be your Wi-Fi or broadband?

Yes, it’s been happening a lot for me over the last week or so very roughly. It freezes, it won’t load the page, I click on a thread and nothing happens. It’s very, very slow and much harder to use.
I suggest following the usual advice to clear all the cached data and things. On an iPad that's in Settings under Safari, and there's also "Website Data" in the Advanced section.

The Website Data part is per-site so you can just clear this site's data. But yes, the rest (cookies and history and things) seems to be a general thing so could be annoying. (In desktop browsers it's possible to clear cookies more selectively but it doesn't seem to be on the iPad.)
Never. Though pages sometimes take a bit of time to finish loading on my android tablet.
I'm using mobile data exclusively, both for tablet & desktop PC.
