For me the site hardly loads, the interface is busted and gets stuck, every time I try to click to a forum or messages it takes 30-90 seconds before that page is completely loaded, the ads won’t close for similar time lengths. Its not totally consistent, it runs better in the early mornings. I gotta think the owners know HOW to fix this and just are not, for some reasons.
It is the best resource that’s why I want it to be more functional. Maybe it’s fine on chrome on a desktop but the majority of folks use mobile now. And iPhone is the most popular device by far so it should be optimized for iOS and Safari.

Turn your phone off and turn it back on again, turn your modem/router off and turn it back on again.

IT techs crack it because no one ever does this and just blames the IT people for not doing their job.

While you are there clear your cache and your cookies. Also clean out anything that you do not use. All simple things you should be doing regularly anyway.

It is an iPhone so go into settings and see what is using the most resources, if you do not need what is bogging down your phone then get rid of it.

The problems are on your side not the websites, if it is working better in the mornings it is because you have better band width or your device is cooler and can process data easier.

This website is known to function at its best using the latest addition of the Chrome Browser. It's always been this way since BYC hit the Internet. That's not to say other browsers won't work flawlessly, however if you are having an issue here, it's worth a try to give Chrome a shot since we are designed for it. The app is known to be of lesser quality than the browser addition and has little to no advantage or differences over Chrome. It's not worth the headache.

I have been here nearly 14 years and I have learned over his time that your Internet connection will effect your experience using this site. If it's even a tad slow, pages will freeze, photos won't load, even typing becomes a pain. Everyone likes to think their Internet connection is up to par but unless you put a meter to your signal strength or know what Band you are using, you can never be sure.

I have purchased many phones over the years. The amount of money you spend on them has nothing to do with your surfing experience here on BYC. We are designed to work with all devices, one not working better than another according to price. New phones can and do have glitches, a couple of years ago I purchased a "lemon", all brands are vulnerable.

And lastly, if you are addicted to BYC and are constantly visiting this site, you NEED to occasionally clear your cache and cookies from BYC. This is a large site, lots of data, your device will get overloaded from time to time with sluggish responses and freeze ups.

I just downloaded Chrome like someone here suggested, using that fixed everything 🤷‍♂️
