[Kung Wu]

Had a pretty heavy upgrade to do today. It went a little weird, so please report back if things are broken.

[WstateU]

So far, so good... checked in after lunch and couldn't access the site. Started to get "tweaked" out...

I keep getting text boxes that pop up after I click on a New Topic then come back to new topics screen. I am on an XR, iOS 13.4.1. C7DB92B6-5C43-4C51-B05C-E273952231F8.png

Same here...

Okay it may be a bit before I can test it -- no Apple products around here at the moment. But I will definitely take a look.

Maybe if another geek on Shockernet has access to an iPhone or iPad they could help troubleshoot?

[Kung Wu]

Sorry for the interruption there for the last 20 minutes!

WstateU I haven't forgot your iOS issue either -- I just haven't been near an Apple device to check it out yet.

We are struggling to reproduce this on an iPhone, but we may not be understanding exactly what you are doing. Just to make sure:

1) You are clicking the hamburger menu and selecting New Topics,
2) then clicking on one of the topics, and
3) then going back to the hamburger menu and select New Topics again, and
4) that's when you see some popups overlaying the list of topics?

Your screen grab is small enough I can't make it out. What's in the popup? Something related to the topic?

Not positive, but I think it was the first part of the post in the pop up. I have much more luck posting from my Windows 10 desktop at my office. Honestly, I’ve always struggled to post gifs, memes, tweets and photos with my iPhone or iPad (I’m sure some of you are thankful). I’ve just about given up posting anything but text (like I’m doing now). Windows 10 is a snap (much more user friendly for an older fart) and I’m old school and pretty efficient with a mouse. My preferred way of computing.

I don’t want to complain because I thoroughly enjoy this site and appreciate what you do... it’s awesome and helps me keep my sanity.

Concerning iPhone and iPad, great technology, but I have to admit there are times when I’d like to dig up (assuming he wasn’t cremated) Steve Jobs and kick him square in the grapes. $hit, why can’t windows and Apple have some kind of consistency. F$&k! Guess I’m just out of touch.

What browser do you guys use for iPhone? Safari? Have you tried Microsoft Edge for Apple IOS? I haven't had any problems with Edge on Android. It works pretty much the same as Edge on Windows 10.

Edit: It looks like Microsoft is using the same browser engine that Safari uses for IOS, so it might not make any difference whether you use Safari or Edge. Or you can just use Chrome for IOS.

I have the same issue using Chrome on iPhone.

I have tried Firefox and Safari. Got same thing on both.

Is this still happening?

[Kung Wu]

WstateU ... is this still happening on your mobile device?

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

No more text boxes, which was the major concern. Still doesn’t refresh to new list of unread topics, but I can manage that.

Kung Wu Thank you again, for all you do!

Haven’t had any issues this evening. I’ll let you know if I see anything wacky. Thx!
