I can't use WP properly on my phone

Post Reply New Topic

Lately when I've been accessing WP on my phone, it has been awfully slow. When writing a post, it keeps pausing and I can't do anything until it decides to end the pause and let me carry on typing the post. Other times when reading threads, it the page refreshes itself, even though I have auto-refresh turned off in my internet settings. It doesn't do any of this on any of the other sites I go on (Facebook, Wikipedia, Google, Buzzfeed, Youtube, Hotmail, and a few others), just WP. So I don't think it has much to do with my phone, more to do with this actual site.

Also when browsing WP on my phone, pop-ups keep coming up saying I have won something, then claims that I have 4 viruses and that I have to download an app to clean my phone otherwise my phone will be locked or currupt or something. But, again, when browsing on any of the other sites this has NEVER happened, only on WP.

Is it something to do with the poor and glitchy performance of this site? Does anybody else have any problems with this particular site when accessing it on your phone?

I have none of these problems, except for occasional slowness. I use an IPhone.

i had a lot of trouble tying to post on WP too when using google chrome on my iphone. pausing, specifically. switching to safari fixed that.

i saw some other members having similar problems with scams and pop up ads, it apparently happens on PCs and desktop computers as well.

so yeah, i'd say it's a site problem.

I don't have the option to access my PMs when using my droid & I tend to have a popup on the bottom of my screen unrelated to AS that moves to the middle when I scroll & flashes when I type.
