Investigating Scrolling Issue

[Kiki]

I'm definitely having issues with scrolling in the iPhone app.
But not so much on my desktop.

The app isn't "fixed" yet. Try using the browser on your phone instead of the app.

ry using the browser on your phone instead of the app.

Yup! Just to clarify: Use your built-in web browser (for example, Safari on iPhone) to use the site while we work to update the apps.

I find the scrolling issue is worse on my Android phone (using Google Chrome browser) because of the ad load.

The screen centers, then as the ads begin to load, the screent moves and scrolls on its own as the ads fill in spaces.

I also have a lot of ads plastered across reading areas which is frustrating. The worse is the ads that pop up when I try to type a reply on my phone. The ads completely cover the screen leaving me with a blind text box. I didn't have that with the old site.

Sorry, but I'm about to investigate ad blockers so that the mobile is usable, an I am trying to click the corners to tell Google the ad is blocking my content (which sometimes is present and sometimes isn't).

I suspicion the same is happening with those who do not have ad blocker on their screens with the pc's, depending upon the browser.

I want to support BYC, and I don't mind the inside ads at all, but the numerous pop ups are annoying and mess with your screen.

Thanks for the feedback! We're working to try and duplicate some of these problems, but on the iPhone and Android phones we're testing, we're not seeing these problems... which makes it really hard to fix.

@Lady of McCamley , when you say "pop ups", what are you referring to? We don't have any "pop up" ads on BYC, so this is definitely something we want to know more about. Can you post a sample screenshot of the popup ad you are seeing?

Hmm... those screenshots seems familiar to this discussion here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/typing-reply-on-android-phone.1175193/

That's with an LG k7. What kind of phone do you have?

Thanks @KikisGirls !! I've moved those posts to the thread about screensize so we can differentiate between the scrolling issue and the ad-loading / no-screen issue.
