I have seen some others have problems also. I do not visit this site but on my phone and itwill take me away from the site every time I visit. It tells me congrats I won ! It really does suck and it makes me not want to get on the site. That being said I guess I will just stay the course unless there is something else I can do?

I'm pretty sure that Yosef checked into it and found it to be an Apple issue and not a site issue, but I will make sure that he is aware of the problems you are having.

I always had those problems in Safari, but I downloaded the Dolphin browser and turned on ad-block and have had no further issues.

I use the Samsung S4 and this happens to me very frequently and it is very frustrating as this seems to be the only site that does this on my phone.

It still happens to me on my iphone but not nearly as often as it used to.. For awhile there the instants I signed on,it would take me away, EVERY time. Couldn't get on with my phone at all. But lately, its gotten way better. Now I just get that "Congrats youve won an iphone" crap you mentioned and its only once every few times. And I wouldn't mind that so bad if you could just X out of it and get back to the site , but you can't. You have to close everything down and start over. Pisses me off.

There's probably other similar apps, but I downloaded the Lionz blocker app and only enabled the feature on it that blocks ads and data trackers. I haven't had any pop ups since. Lionz will block all sorts of stuff (like images, comments, and scripts) that you probably want to see, but you can just uncheck those features.

Yea I've been having a couple of issues on my iphone as well. It no longer takes me away from the site but it does now ask for my location. I can open up the message board but when I try to click on a thread, it gives me a "502 Bad Gateway---nginx/1.8.0" message. I downloaded the tapatalk app so I could read the threads but it doesn't seem to update in real time when I compare it to threads on the MMB.

Instead of being negative why not email the administrator? Use a laptop, simple answer. I do not use my phone as I have this problem as well. Use a lap top, use a a tablet, other than that post something useful. The site is not a mess. End of post.

Not being negative man, just stating the facts. Most of us don't carry laptops everywhere we go like we do our phones. That's kind of why iPhones are so popular, ya know? The administrator is well aware of the situation, no need to keep bothering him with everybody emailing. And by the way, tablets have been having issues as well.

Took me away today on a "Congrats you've won a new iPhone 6S" ...Locked my phone up... It was not Apple but some other site. I WON'T be using again with phone. When I did get phone back on it said I had no SIM card installed. Seemed malicious to me.

I really do. I liked seeing the thread on the side and knowing which ones I've already read (which tapa talk doesn't do and tapa talk is the only way to read on my ipad).

I sit in front of a PC all day at work and can sometimes check in on The Cabin with no issues. When I go home, I use my handy-dandy iPad so I can sit in my favorite chair, watch football, and cruise the internet. I am not at all a fan of Tapatalk and will not use it because of its limited functionality. Yosef's Cabin via an iPad is far from useful.

What I've been doing more often than not since the switch to this format is visiting other boards for my App football fix. The boards for GaSo, Troy, ULL, and stAte all work just fine on my iPad.

The problem I see is that, with fewer visitors able to access a functional site, traffic and interaction here will drop off leading to fewer visitors and less interaction, etc., etc.

My preference would be interacting with App fans here; however, I'm not likely to sit in my home office with its PC just to do that after working a minimum of 10 hours during the day at my 'real' office PC. So ... until the site is iPad functional, I'll stop by when I can and participate far less than I would have ordinarily (not that anything I ever had to say was of that crucial a nature ...).

Meanwhile, let's go bowling!

I don't mean to pile on and I'm damn sure not the type of guy to complain about a FREE service, but my activity on YC has become less frequent for some site reasons. I've used Chrome and Firefox with a pop-up blocker on my lap top and still the video adds are so numerous that if I leave a tab open with YC it eventually crashes my browser (usually after 5-10 mins). I had a Galaxy Note 4 until recently when I got an LGV10 and an LG tablet and the same problem abounds on all three devices: the characters appear seconds after I've typed them and it's hard to keep a train of thought waiting to see what I typed. On the tablet the key pad covers the text box and I can't read what I typed at all. When I'm not logged in I can't open threads on my phone either.

Again, not bitching about this FREE SITE just to complain, but I thought I would let y'all know the things I've been having a hard time with in case you wanted to fix it.
