I want to join in this. It’s terrible. Awful
1. My cursor and every ing I’m typing disappears into the top of the reply box, it’s totally obscured I literally can’t see what I. Typing.
2. I have no clue how long a thread is if I access it fro. Google. No first oage and no last page, just never ending posts.
As a result I can’t find what I want and can’t reply to stuff.
terrinle, utterly awful

iPad workarounds
Hi, iPadders,
We realize there are some quirks to using the iPad on FlyerTalk. Let me try to help.
First, we are planning to get this fixed. But it will require replacing the entire text editor on the software that runs FT. A big task. It will take time.
Meantime, you can try this:
Good luck!
Paul

Meantime, you can try this:
- Use the mobile skin! The annoying keystroke lag and the disappearing cursor do not happen in mobile skin. Go to the bottom left of your screen and use the dropdown to select Mobile New (to go back, go to the top-left "hamburger menu" and select View full site).
- If you really don't want to use Mobile skin, you can try clicking the little gray triangle in the lower right corner of your text edit box. Sometimes it works and it keeps the cursor from disappearing under the menu bar. Hit or miss.
Good luck!

We already had a thread about iPad issues with FT.
iPad Specific Display and Related Issues
Maybe the Mods could merge the 2 ?

I too have very annoying issues with IPAD and Safari. When scrolling it jumps around crazy within the thread backwards. I 'think" it is due to the over the top ads that seem to give my IPAD fits when scrolling due to not able to keep up with the ads loading, so resets to last starting point. And the IPAD I have was the top of the line one recently purchased at Best Buy?

- ipad model
- ios version
- browser type and version
- type of connection (wifi, LTE...)
- assume you are using the mobile skin and infinite scroll -- if otherwise, let me know
- any ad blocker running?
- post a screen shot -- video is even better if you can
- link to a thread where it is happening
- describe exactly what you're doing when it happens, and what the "jumping" is?

On my ancient iPad with the desktop site and my up to date iPhone 8 with mobile skin I keep getting the pages reloading after a couple of minutes with the message saying there's an error with this page so it was reloaded. I don't have ad blocker software and I'm wondering if it's the adverts causing a problem. Any ideas? It's been going on a few weeks now.

Constant iPhone/iPad page crashes when ads reload has been reported by lots of folks - see comments on this thread: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/29857686-post294.html.
Apparently ad blockers stop it reoccurring per some users.

Same issue I believe. The message from Safari says web page reloaded due to a problem. It’s a page crash, Safari reloads the page. And enough of them it will give up completely on reloading. Looks like it’s approximately each 2 minutes or so, when the ads refresh.

I have done a search and I have found a list of things to work through to try and solve the problem. I will do that when I can. FlyerTalk is the only website I'm currently having the problem with, although I have previously had the same issue with the website for a UK newspaper. I suspect the problem is something to do with adverts. I'm not having the problem on this page for posting a reply which is advert light.
