Is it just me gang or have others noticed the site not loading up too well at the moment? it seems there are too many animated ad's loading up before I get my page to read. It's very jerky and keeps refreshing the pages when I am trying to hit up articles -which I find very annoying. I have a pretty good broadband connection: It's been this way for a couple of days on all my devices. It is getting to the point not where it is so sluggish I'm deferring to other sites for my ios information and reading.
It appears to be since the Chocolate Tycoon ad's went up they don't seem to be formatting at all smoothly on my iphone 4 or my ipad. As for ditching my ipad to browse on a desktop??? -I can only presume you are joking 'Dino. Other sites loading fine. I hit up TA maybe 20 times a day it's just been a niggling me the past couple of days or so, -so I thought I'd put it out there.
Jeez. What is it with you guys!? Scott, The ipad is MADE for web browsing, try sitting in front of the tv with your desktop on your lap. Besides, I have a painful nerve disease and ipad is much easier to use than holding a mouse. So your trolling/sarcastic quip was unhelpful and unnecessary Scott. I created this thread to guage if others were having the same problem.
It does seem a bit odd trying to dissuade people from using portable Apple devices to browse a website promoting portable Apple devices.
I don't know that I've really seen a difference lately - it always has seemed a little slower loading some of the ads (for me, they are the ones at the top of the screen, Vester). I'll be thinking I'm hitting a thread link just as the ads load, the thread will jump down, and my tap will result in me ending up going out to iTunes via one of the ads. It's a little annoying, but I've tried to get into the habit of waiting the extra time for it to finish loading, so it's not a huge deal. And definitely agree - browsing on the iPad is great.
Hey thanks that's good advice Vester. Thanks for a constructive tip. Actually now it's back to the standard front page it's loading up nice 'n fast again bit I'll keep what you suggested in mind for the next time the site overdoes the ad's. Like I said, many thanks.
I just use the .99 app "perfect web browser" You can disable images so any ads will be gone but the links at the top will disappear too. But the app also gives you a option to stop refreshing the page for those animated ads.
