Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted November 15, 2016 Moderator Share Posted November 15, 2016 Websites must be built specifically to deal with the various device platforms. You have different versions for cell phones, Ipads/tablets, computers etc. in order for content and functions to display and work correctly. If site is not built to show correctly on the various platforms then you get issues such as you describe. Forums are an older social media platform. I still think they are better than new media platforms for serious discussion, but that's me. As a result fewer forums are built or upgraded to deal with all the different devices available. Hope that helps. (Source: My father is a website designer... as well as being a pastor!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted November 15, 2016 Moderator Share Posted November 15, 2016 I'm not saying its the forum is not built for various devices, I'm saying that it could be the issue. Of course the issue could be your Ipad.... I think florduh hit on it - Apple could be the issue. (Disclaimer anti apple guy here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffodil Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Sounds like an internet issue, not an iPad issue. Sometimes it does slow down a bit. Sometimes, though, I find it does help to do a full shut down of my iPad. When it reboots it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
