Fantastic (er, to the extent that it helps us)! We'll investigate further.

I noticed tonight on my laptop that the real estate consumed by the delayed screen refresh was more tonight that previous nights. I use the dreaded ad blocking software whose name is anathema to Internet Brands. When I display "New Threads, I would have full screen used, then, an inch or so would be reclaimed on the right, though nothing was displayed there. Tonight it is 1.5-2 in.

I also see something similar to the above display on my iPad. I am pessimistic enough to believe that this reclamation of screen real estate is the slow, inexorable move to forcing ads on us.

Happening 23 Mar when not logged in. I had this problem maybe 6 months ago, then it went away until a week ago, now affecting me 75% of the time on FT.

I have a strong reason to believe this is related to some ad.

It looks like it's a bug in our code. Tech is working on it now!

Happening to me too although a little less frequently than it has over the past week or so. I'm on an iPad Air in landscape mode. Never happens on my laptop. Just happened a few minutes ago when I logged in. It's very annoying.

ipad using safari here.

Same for me on the log in screen-shows full size and then shrinks off to the left and as noted earlier, perhaps due to the ads on the right side of the screen/page

Still happening. Happy to provide more screenshots or info if needed. It is truly bothersome as the resize doesn't always work so we end up struggling to read the page or sometimes just give up.

I got this infrequently before, outside the US. Now that I've came back to the US earlier this week, it's happening very frequently. Annoying.

Still happening.
Also " A problem happened with this webpage so it
is reloading" at the top of the page under the banner. Page reloads but doesn't go back to where it was.
Happens every 3 to 4 minutes. Started about two weeks ago and ONLY on FT.
IPad Air, latest OS.
FT used to be really great, now it doesn't work well at all.
