I've noticed something lately when browsing the forum using my normal Firefox browsers. This happens on Windows, macOS and Linux. I keep getting files downloaded, and they have seemingly randomly generated names like fPoEyEhh.html and are 0 bytes. It seems to happen randomly just clicking on links. I can't so far establish any pattern.
Just tried Firefox when logged out (so all the adverts) and clicked around for a while. I didn't get any file downloads. I'm on Windows.

Try clearing your cache and cookies, I avoid clicking or going anywhere near that push notifications bar at the bottom of the forum, I had all sorts of shit popping up from even closing it using the x.

I use Firefox on Linux and this never happens to me
 
Got a new one in the past 24hours, to add to the fucking adverts that only appeared a fortnight ago….

Anyway, I’ll be tapping away, writing yet another winner of a post and my onscreen ipad keyboard will disappear. Coincidentally enough meaning, that if I’m typing fast enough, when the keyboard disappears, I end up hitting either the fucking advert, or the “use the forum advert free” link.

Coincidence? I fucking think not.
 
Pretty much a disaster on my iphone. Keyboard keeps disappearing every few words I type, which means I click on the adverts that have been appearing over the past few weeks.

Happened three times whilst typing this post.

I pay the £1.50 or whatever to not have adverts, but I have found this as a general iphone issue on occasion, where (on other apps and sites) the keyboard will fuck off to the cognitive realm and I can't do anything to summon it back unless I refresh the page.
 
Admin Admin - Is the “add quote” option on posts time restricted? I was just trying to add older posts to my quotes but there’s no option.
 
For some reason when I'm writing replies on here now, the reply box keeps 'deselecting' itself, leading to accidentally posting before finishing, or clicking on a banner advert.

Its happening on mobile and laptop browser, so not device related. Any ideas?
 
iPhone has been fucked for months. Did mention it a few times, got bored with the tumbleweed, so just post less instead.

I'm on Android, and same on PC so seems like a forum issue.

Admin Admin any ideas?

For me at least it seems to be somewhat random but I can confirm it isnt dependent on input - the reply box will deselect after a period of time even of you don't touch anything - almost like something is triggering it on the page.
 
There isn't really anything I can do. I think the editor is known to be a bit buggy, the forum software developers are supposed to be releasing a new version but it's not out yet.

That said, I don't see an issue when using it on android Chrome browser or Edge browser on my laptop.
 
I've also noticed that sometimes everything I click on the page leads to an ad, like if I click on a subforum or previous/next I just get taken to an ad, only goes away after I refresh the page a few times. Seemed to start around the same time as the disappearing keyboard.
 
I have a problem in the last few days.
Every forum page takes ages to load but only when Im connected to my WLAN at home.
When Im using mobile data everything is fine.
WLAN also works fine with everything else.

I guess that’s not really a forum problem but I didn't know where else to ask for help.

Any ideas anyone?
