First, it was your spammy, virus-ridden ads that caused me to install a blocker in the first place. On an ipad, the ads you choose make the site so slow that it is impossible to use. Second, you have taken away my choice and that does not sit well with me. Sad.

Same issue - desktop mode on both iPad and iPhone, Safari 12.2. I have no issues using Dolphin browser on same iPad/iPhone.

I often get a blank screen on Safari on up-to-date OSX 10.14.6 - this thread for instance, the BA dashboard and many others do not open properly. Sometimes I see a flash of the page requested but then it goes blank. Seems to work ok on FF and chrome. All history and caches cleared.

+1 to this, but the workaround I used was to reload w/o content blockers (....... Plus). Deleting cache also worked until I logged back in again (which took me out of mobile view again). While it worked I saw a more obnoxious nag msg about the blocker. It was flyertalk’s annoying ads (usually when abroad) that first prompted me to install blockers in the first place. It still boggles the mind on why websites opt to nag users rather than switch to compliant/acceptable ads that will get whitelisted/permitted by the ad blocker.

Not sure if it’s just me but the like button functionality is intermittent at best (in safari FWIW)

I'm having this same issue with Safari on my MacBook Pro, I'm having to use Chrome to view any threads.

using Full Site display mode on iPhone, I can see the front page of the forum (specifically Alaska and Delta), but only get a blank screen when I select any thread to display ... works ok if I switch to View Mobile Site mode **but that’s not how I want to navigate the site**

not a fan of the rollout so far ...

And those yellow "non announcement" streaks do the same


From the posts in this thread to date very obvious that QA, checking & testing with various common browser software was not part of this software downgrade.
Why do FT/IB want to drive customers away? :confused:
Change for the sake of change.

Agreed. That's how it looks to me, too.

Oh, one more thing. The blue "Subscribe" and "Reply With Review" buttons don't seem to change at all on rollover. Consistency and predictability are good things in website design and functionality.

Indeed. cf the picture above.

This is definitely an issue: there's not enough font distinction between read vs. unread on mobile devices. :td:
(It's fine on the desktop version. ^)

However, it does not behave like I hoped/anticipated. It takes me to a thread where there are new replies since my last visit. However it lands me at the first page and first post of that thread. From there I can do "View first unread", but I am wondering if the View next unread" at the bottom couldn't link directly to the first unread post of next unread thread?

To my knowledge, the orange/blue/grey buttons are to aid accessibility, both for new users and those with visual impairment.

This is really annoying, I hope it can be fixed by going back to use bold font for threads with unread replies and regular for read threads. With the current implementation the board becomes unusual on the iPhone for me.

I asked for this formatting back. In the meantime, the red dots on the right side of the thread title will denote if you've read it or not.

Hi guys, I've asked Tech to take a look at Safari/Mac/iOS compatibility and stressed it's very high priority. I have no reason to believe that it's a content blocker, since we just use pop-ups to ask you to turn them off, not blank out your screen without telling you what's going on.
