Is anyone else finding the IT problems with FT getting worse and worse?
 
Is anyone else finding the IT problems with FT getting worse and worse? All the time now threads and posts go missing, even the direct links don't work. How much longer is this going to be happening for and when are they going to finally get it fixed?

One problem I noticed is that when I try accessing FT on my iPhone, the page automatically gets redirected to some weird websites and then the app store opens and some weird apps like uber pops up.

I don't have this issue on desktops.

Is this while you are on the mobile version of the site? And is there any particular ad that triggers this, or at random?

We are not getting such reports.

If you're experiencing this, being as specific as possible so we can investigate is most helpful.

As an active member and as a Moderator (five fora, previously Senior Moderator responsible for all fora without appointed Moderators) who is on daily and performs a number of maintenance and curatorial tasks, I'm certainly not noticing this. I'm guessing this is less about FlyerTalk and more an external factor - your device(s) or use of incompatible software to mediate FlyerTalk.

I am having great difficulty opening any posts for the past two days. Forums open fine, but if I click on any topic, I get a blank page and a spinning blue wheel on the tab.
Sometimes after about five minutes, the topic will open, like this one.
Haven't changed anything on my computer recently so I don't know why this is happening.

I don't think IT is why posts go missing, Sean.

I'd recommend sharing information about your device, operating system, etc. so Admin can get a bit of help in troubleshooting.

And again, if anyone is using software to mediate (e.g. block ads) FT, there's really nothing that can be done from this end.
