Forum problems

Hey,


I know this is more to do with the software upgrade fomr the provider but here goes....


(This is my 4th atempt at typing this without a crash or display problem)

1) I cant use a search function which means my main use of the forum when out and about on my mobile looking through old threads when i remember something i want to touch on / learn from is not useable....

2) The new design keeps crashing chrome on my Samsung phone forcing me to use Firefox, which lags, it also does not display correctly on either in my phone, with large parts off page and unscrolable, adverts displayed accross thread text and also causes regular crashes.

3) The new design crashes opera on my Apple computer often (typically once every 5-10 mins) and simply does not work in a usable way on firefox of Chrome on my Ubuntu 13 system.... The above display issues also make it very laboursome to use..... The most common issues are script errors and just a total crash followed by constant display issues.

These combined, especially the loss of use on my mobile and tablets have cut my forum usage by half..... Not for want of trying, but this eve I tried to post this on my phone, gave up on attempt 2. Attempt 3 on PC aborted due to scrolling issues and freezes.... this is No4.... The biggest issue when it does work on IE on an old laptop which I never want to use is........... no search.... but the convenience is certainly gone!

I know at least 3 other people having problems with it.

    Thanks for the heads up David

    Is anyone else experiencing problems accessing or viewing LJN?

      Nope nothing... I look on my iPhone 5, iPad Air and Apple Computer, Aye uses his iPhone 6 Plus and iMac. No issues at all. Gosh I sound like an Apple addict lol

      I have the issue with searching Just kicks me to landscapejuice.com. Windows 7 and Firefox.

  • PRO

    I sometimes have problems posting and viewing. its as if it tries to connect and just gets stuck in a loop. Mac OS 10.10, iPad mini iOS 8 are both affected

  • Not had any 'site' problems here (Windows 7 and Chrome browser), search works fine and only issues I have are where search picks up posts that have been removed (but it always did that!).

    Loads fine on my Motorola Moto G Android phone - although pictures are slow if not on WiFi....(excuse to stop at MacDonalds or other Wifi hotspots.

    New layout took a touch of getting used to, but I quite like it now.

  • I find the mobile experience a bit slow and unresponsive compared with the previous version. It seems to me there is no longer a true mobile optimised option as my view and when I request desktop view it is the same.

      No Similar issues experienced using;

      Desktop - FF & Chrome - ok (but occassionaly I have a problem with one of the chrome plug-ins that crashes my browser - but that is not LJN specific). Chrome has a memroy leak if left in session on any site, often crashing or slowing to the point of being unusable. Given up on IE anyway for many other reasons

      iPhone with iOs 6 displays fine using Safari. I now use my iPhone more to access LJN than I did previously as I find the experience far better

      iPad with iOs 8 displays fine using Safari. This is most used means of accessing LJN now, including for Chat.

      One obvuous action (which, Im sure you've done) is to clear all cache, cookies and history) and upgrade to latest releases.

      I did some testing on mobile access time with V2 & V3 and posted them in a previous post. Access was similar and in some cases fater.

      Overall, I see no more issues access LJN than I do accessing or using other sites .....

      • Thanks Gary, indeed I regularly keep my phone clear to insure it's running smoothly.
        I don't have any major issues assessing this site other than I would another site that didn't have a stream lined mobile optimisation.
        V2 had a very different mobile site than it did desktop (so much so I preferred the mobile optimisation for simplicity and speed)
        However V3 to my mind seems to offer the same but in a slightly different layout....

        I still enjoy using the site I just find the mobile experience a little slow and cumbersome....
  • I haven't had any real issues with the site. It crashes chrome/firefox a lot on my tablet, but all sites seem to do that. I have a feeling it's a flash issue, or maybe some popular JavaScript that the android browsers just don't like much.

    On a side note, is there a way to go to last read post on here? I'm getting annoyed at having to go through the first page to get to the option to go to a different page of the thread if you get what I mean. It's the little things that bug me :P
