On the iPad the first post where the advert goes it doesn't convert the template properly and the advert covers up half of the post. (I hope you understand what I mean)

also when someone uses spoiler tags. You can't view them.


Just thought I would see if these were normal nags and bring them to ds' attention..

So please DS can you sort this?

It's not idea,, but if you stop the page from loading when everything bar the ads have loaded you can bypass the ad problems. And to view spoilers quote the message and view in the reply.

Not ideal though....

It's normally when you have a quoted message in there...

I noticed it too. But big sites like DS will make themselves iPad compatible in time.

I copy and paste spoiler text into some other app (Notes will do) to view it.

I find this problem but not all the time. Does anyone else have problems viewing Digital spy on there iPhone? I use to be able to get the whole site now it has changed to the mobile site with no forums! I had to keep googling to find them until I bookmarked them. If I then click on the digital spy logo it goes back to the mobile site!

If you press the quote button, you get to see the spoiler inside the message box where you type your reply.

Hi,

Is anyone able to take a screenshot of the advert problems when the first post contains a quote?

Thanks

Opera browser used to send many sites untowards.

So at the time I abandoned the browser for Firefox.

As you say it's only when there is a quote. Here's a screenshot (from an iPad in this case). But I've seen it on other platforms too, especially using Safari.

I'm pretty sure it's a problem with WebKit (the underlying engine used by Safari - both the Mac/Windows version as well as the iPhone/iPad version and Google Chrome).

It was fixed in a newer release of WebKit, which Google rolled out quite quickly, but Apple didn't. I think it was corrected in Safari 5 for Mac/Windows, but they haven't fixed the mobile browser yet.

There's a "Switch to Web version" option right at the bottom of the mobile page.
