iPhone glitch- I think

Louise

Hi Greg
I've noticed that when viewing the forum on my iPhone on some threads I have to press several times to get the thread to open. Also some of the threads I can't expand. You know when you put your fingers on screen and drag them apart to make the page bigger. It's not on all threads I currently have open Diana's off topic thread on drugstore conditioners and I can't expand it. I refreshed the page and now it's working. It's hit and miss with both issues I've not spotted a pattern. I've got an iPhone 4 and its got the latest software update iOS 6.1.3

Hum perhaps it's my phone? I've tried my iPad and no problem?

Thanks for reporting this Louise. One question: does the problem ever persist after you refresh the page?

No once I refreshed the page all was fine. I wonder if my phone was having an 'off' few days, I've just tried it out again and all the threads I opened worked fine?

I think you were seeing a remnant of an earlier bug. Sometimes browsers are too clever for their own good and try to re-use older code instead of loading it fresh. I do things to force a reload when I update the code, but that isn't always successful.

I have noticed this on my phone too -- I have to tap on a link 3 times or so before it will execute, or hold down until the popup appears and select "open". I also have noticed that you can't double tap on the text window to zoom out any more.

I'm seeing this double tap issue too. I'm on it.

Double tapping should now be working again.
