Weird leggy scrolling issue...

[Dankology]

...on my Android device. Just on basschat, just on my phone and not improved by resetting or even giving in to a much delayed Android update.

 

As I scroll through any forum (but not the main pages) the text sort of accumulates rather than scrolling off screen and starts to flicker and flash. Worse if there are photos or videos. It makes the site essentially inaccessible on my phone. 

 

Any thoughts?

Yup. I'm getting the same thing for the past couple of days. Not sure if it's a site issue or a browser issue. It only happens on Basschat when using Chrome browser. Any other site using Chrome is fine, and Basschat using a different browser is fine. It seems to be a combination of those two things.

I think this has come up before:

(why does my brain file stuff like that away but not e.g. what chores I need to do tonight???)

Doesn't look like a solution was found last time either. 

 

To be honest I don't see how it could be a device issue when several people are seeing the same thing.

It was my original post and the issue persists.

One strange thing, if you zoom in on the stripy bits ( thumb and finger on the screen method) then the text becomes clear.

Only happens on Basschat.

Yup. It's certainly annoying. I use Chrome browser for everything else, but now I'm having to use a second browser just for this site.

Just bumping this as it is still happening and actually seems to be getting worse.

Out of interest, what browser are you using? I get this on Chrome but not on my phone's built in browser. 

[Dankology]

I'm using Chrome too. I don't really want to change browser just for one site...

 

Apologies for any formatting errors - having to reply essentially blind

I initially thought it was only on Basschat, but I had the same problem today on my Distrokid page. So it's looking like it's a Chrome problem rather than a Basschat problem. If you read the reviews on the app store it seems like loads of people are having problems. Might be time to dump Chrome.

Started happening to me during the week. Only on Basschat.

Same issue here... Since I do most of my bass chatting on android it makes me very sad...

Definitely a Chrome mobile problem and not a Basschat problem. 

 

I'm now getting it on any forum that uses quotations. 

 

I'm wondering how many people who are seeing the issue are using Android mobile with Chrome browser? 

 

Here's an example today from a totally unrelated forum.

Yep, I've noticed it on at least one other forum this week.

 

I've just logged here in using Firefox for the first time and all seems OK. Dreading exporting all my logins/passwords across though.

I have Android/Chrome and get that but only on Basschat.  I don't visit many forums (fora?) but the others are fine.

Not having any issues today - including on threads that had been basically unreadable. Odd.

I've just checked and it seems to have cleared up for me too. Maybe Chrome has had an update.
