    I have hesitated all day in posting this, but the knot within my stomach tells me, out of a sense of obligation to MA and all of mankind, to warn you about what is no less than a Zombie attack for world domination on our community. Apparently, this horrendous invasion only affects users of iOS 8 tablets (i.e., iPads). If you use Android moblie devices, presumably and thankfully you're safe. :fingerscrossed:

    Now, before you check the evidence below, please be warned that the images could be harmful to your psyche and the well-being of your children and the elderly. Please make sure none are within viewing distance before you continue. :eek6:

    You have been warned!

    As of 8:00 this morning, every message on MA looks like this on my iPad, and 9 hours later it's still happening! :frown2:


    [​IMG]


    That's right - every message is scrambled and includes an almost life-sized photo of Dave.0! And no, I'm not kidding. :yikes:

    The proper authorities have been notified, but if you experience a similar life-changing event with iOS 8, please report it to Nathan or post it here so someone can make an appropriate sacrifice to the Almighty Ruler of the Internet and fix it.

    The future of our civilization depends on you! :Thumbsup:

    Thankfully for the sake of my own eyes I've not been able to reproduce this issue.

    Yet, it is something that I'd like to solve. Anyone with insight please feel free to guess.

    What is identified above, Nathan, is quite similar to what I emailed you about that I was/am experiencing on M/A, since I got my new iPhone 6.

    Yep, me too, on my iPad. Sometimes it's the avatar, sometimes it's the sig, it has the pic of the last poster in a thread, or sometimes the random garage picture in every post. I tend to get a bunch of mrtnd's and a whole lotta Daves (which is both amusing and disturbing); even a few Minimarks. But no Dick's, thankfully.

    Welcome, brothers and sisters!

    Anyone besides me having a problem with iPhone 6 running iOS 8 remembering the log-in info to MA? I have to log in every time I go there, but this doesn't happen on the iPad. :crazy:

    I've always had to log in whether I used a 4s or the new 6. Kinda PITA, but I love this place!

    Interesting.

    I can't reproduce it on either my iPad or iphone6. Both are running iOS 8.1.2. Tried with both safari and chrome and everything looked fine.

    No issues with tapatalk either.

    Good luck Nathan.

    Had a similar issue a while ago. Pretty sure a cleaning of the browser cache and history bits did the trick.

    This happens on my iPad from time to time also. It's an iPad Safari issue. All you have to do is clear cache and restart your apple product.

    It's not a big deal.

    I have the sign on thing too, I gave up on that one. And a new one: sometimes, when I hit the "marketplace" button, I get this uncontrollable urge to buy a bunch of crap. But it's ONLY with the marketplace tab. Weird.

    Cleaning the cache makes sense for the other stuff.

    This didn't work for me. I never had any problems on iPhone or iPad until I "upgraded" to iOS 8 - and the problems are different on both.

    Mine is a completely random thing. Mostly, it's screwed up. At least I'm guessing the issue only affects our view of the problem. When I'm looking at a member garage, etc., I don't think I'm seeing the "End of the World" issues most of us are experiencing. It's sure frustrating - And I don't even have a Samsung device.

    Yea what Dave said. I usually don't have to restart my device but I have to quit out of Safari completely and clear the cash and cookies then it works.
