    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.

    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.

    Problem solved!

    It took more than flushing the cache, dumping the history and restarting. After consulting Apple, the only solution was to back up everything to iCloud and reset the iPad to its original factory settings. After restarting, you have the option of setting up the iPad like it was brand new or restoring everything from the backup, which is what I did. It works normally now, and I didn't lose anything - although I did have to fix some settings. The whole process took about an hour. :Thumbsup:

    YMMV, but remember you need to turn off your mobile devices once in awhile to clear their memories. Otherwise, you'll have so much stuff stored that your devices will lose their ability to think clearly and function normally - sort of like some of the folks here. :biggrin5:.

    Interesting...

    This whole thing has led me to start looking at other mobile solutions other than Tapatalk. I think we are going to see something new supporting Mobile M/A soon.

    I never use Tapatalk. I always hit the original site here and at other sites. Mobile software filters out too much of the good stuff.

    It's not crapatalks problem. It's the wireless connection with the browser on any device. (Common issue)

    It's has to do with how web pages are cleared and refreshed in the browser on the device it's running on. I have this issue all the time on my wifi iPad but have never had this issue on my PC with a Verizon FiOS 150/150 fiber connection. My Workstation /Server has gobs of Ram and 2 TB of space. Wired bigger machines can handle these issue without any issues because they can easily clears it's cache and memory when you navigate to another page.

    iPads and Any Phone made is no match for larger more powerful wired machines, at least not yet. You need to wait a few more years for the wireless networks to catch up with all the data the world it putting up on the Internet.
