This Site functionality

[Guiri Green]

Recently did an update on my Android Mobile Internet broswer and now find this Site extremely "jumpy" and unstable. It seems jittery and moves about a bit. Typing comments can be harder work.

Not had the same problem on other sites.Is it just me ?

Never had a problem, but I do use a iPhone to access this site

It's not just you Guiri, Pasoti on my Android phone has been slow and jittery for months. Very frustrating. It isn't that much better on my PC with Chrome either. I don't have any problem with other sites, so I don't know why it happens.

“Android Mobile Internet” sounds like some proprietary preinstalled browser, have you tries others like Chrome/Brave, Firefox or Opera/Vivaldi?

I find device detection struggles, sometimes I get the desktop view then it skips back to mobile/tablet, is that what you mean by jittery?

Also the page can reload, I’m guessing there’s a memory leak causing the tab to crash and forcing a reload.

It's all fine on my Android Samsung A something or other. I have no idea what browser I'm on but, whatever it is, it works without delay or jitter.

It was very jittery a while back but that seems to have been fixed for me (Android/Samsung).

Never a problem on my Samsung/Android.

I use an Android phone with Chrome browser. Find scrolling through a thread very jumpy at the top and then it smoothes out afterwards.

Yep 99% of the time (particularly with android) it's the person's personal set up rather than a site fault.

At this present time Pasoti is purring along.

So PASOTI is a Top Cat 😻

Same here. I'm back in constant cookie clearing mode.

Adam smoothed it out a few weeks back after it was virtually unusable, maybe another wrinkle is forming 😔

Edit: and no, I'm not going to change my browser settings, they work perfectly on ever other site.

Not sure how to work that out though, especially when the problem doesn't appear on any other site I frequently use.

 

[IJN]

The same this end though GG.

We can't search for a problem of say .5% of phones.

However I will ask Adam to have a word with the super geeks. 👍

If the browser supports a particular 'setup', and a site doesn't work properly with that setup, then it's 100% the site's fault.

Appreciate what you're saying about not being able to cater for all the edge cases (the least common 5% of configs), but the problem still sits with the site - it's not the user's fault if they're using a supported phone / OS / browser combo, and your site doesn't support it properly.

FWIW I use Android / Brave on a fairly high spec phone (Snapdragon 855 Octa-core, 8Gb RAM). Pasoti used to run perfectly, but the last few months it's been poor. My setup hasn't changed. Other sites continue to work perfectly. The difference seems to be the introduction of new types of ads on this site.
