Site Format Change??????

i see blue question marks on safari..... i probably have to readjust my tin foil hat for better radio waves.
 
I tried deleting the shortcut and accessing direct to no avail. No other site, among dozens have a problem. Seems it has to be the site compatibility.

As far as slowness, been like that for a year at least from my end

Try a different browser. I have no problem with Firefox and Ghostery ad blocker.

Why? I have been using Safari for years on the site and then all of a sudden with no change on my end it goes haywire. No other site I use, dozens, has this problem.

Given the slowness, ads and now this problem, I may just stick with the other T4R site. Not worth an additional browser for one site

been thinking about this for a while. I browse that site but don't have an account. when I'm browsing thread titles the ads take up half my screen lol
 
I also use iOS on an iPad. No change. Same pop up video ad and slowness. I assume the speed is due to the site being massive, ads something I just live with. I cut down my visitation and check the new topics only and select what I want to view.
 
Is it just me or did the site change???? Everything in blue and black?????

Yeah something happened recently. The format of the site is trash, the header up top no longer appears and all the tables and posts are wrapping weirdly. The "reply" button which used to be prominent at the bottom of a post is now microscopic too.

I attached a screenshot of this very post as an example. It's wack.

I'm betting some advertising or tracking bs got installed and is being blocked by some filter in Safari on MacOS. The mobile version still looks Ok for now.

I use iOS 16.3.1, what do you use??
 
It's screwed up on desktop Windows. Everything keeps moving to the left third of the screen, then back.

I visit this forum maybe 10% of the amount I once did. There seems to be no investment made into the functionality and user-friendliness of the site. For example, how many of you have clicked on something, said oops, clicked on what you intended to at first, and got the 15-second hand-slap of 'you're searching much too quickly'? Very annoying.

I use a Microsoft Surface Pro computer (Windows desktop) and have had NONE of those problems.

Others have belittled me for the use of Fire Fox browser with Ghostery Ad blocker, but then continue to complain vociferously about the problems they encounter on this site. Again, I have no problems.

Perhaps Ghostery is blocking something that is causing those problems for others.
 
The column-shifting has stopped at the moment for me. Nevertheless, this forum and its functionality could stand some improvement.
 
It's all the data mining software and ads loading first that cause almost all the slowdowns and conflicts. I used to track everything that loads first before a selected page and it was shocking.
I'm on a laptop with Win11 and using the newer CCleaner browser. It has restored the original speed and lack of popups. Best browser I've run across

Don't know what you Apple guys can do.
