DBO Mobile bug? (DBO)

I've noticed something strange while reading DBO on my iPhone over the past couple days. The menu buttons on the front page (about/official media/creations/forum) don't work on my touch screen. Every now and then I hit the "front page" button by accident (lol) and I can't get back using the menu.

Is this just me, or does this happen for others as well?

*EDIT*

I've got an iPhone 5, running iOS 7.1.2

I use it on my phone multiple times throughout the day. No issues from me so far.

About/Forum work fine for me.

Drop down menus are a little finicky, but they at least respond to my input.

I'm not sure I've had this issue, but I do have an issue where the forum only loads about half of the threads. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 refreshes to load the whole thing.

Sometimes when I reload the forum page a hundred times in 60 seconds the hand of Beorn reaches out of the screen and slaps me. Is that a bug?


All jokes aside...

Any particular reason you're running such an old version of iOS? Not that older versions of software shouldn't be supported, but it might be more than the tiny DBO crew can handle. Hopefully though it's something they can find and fix easy.

there's a mobile site?

by Schedonnardus, Texas, Thursday, August 06, 2015, 15:57 (3407 days ago) @ CruelLEGACEY

i've always read the regular site on my HTC One M8 just fine.

I don't think so

by Earendil, Thursday, August 06, 2015, 16:02 (3407 days ago) @ Schedonnardus

There is just the regular site as viewed through a mobile browser.

It works fine for me on iOS 8.4 (latest) FWIW.

I feel your post lacks the sarcasm required to present such an award of honor and dignity. You may try again, son.

Yes (don't know whose fault, though)

by nash, Thursday, August 06, 2015, 17:11 (3407 days ago) @ CruelLEGACEY

I've noticed the same since yesterday. I couldn't get several of the front page news links to work yesterday and thought the posts' HTML must be incorrect. Today, though, I can't get the menu links to reliably work. It's been about a 20% success rate after multiple reloads/refreshes.

iOS Bug?

by Beorn @, <End of Failed Timeline>, Thursday, August 06, 2015, 17:34 (3407 days ago) @ CruelLEGACEY

Yeah, not sure what to tell you other than "Upgrade to iOS 8." It's very likely an implementation problem on older versions of iOS.

Or, you know, swipe right to "go back" a history step? I'm not sure why you would be looking at the front page anyway… ;-)

That's probably a safe bet :)

lol... I already told you it was an accident! ;p

I agree with the upgrade solution but I don't see how it could be an iOS bug if it only started happening recently. It's not like iOS 7 had a recent update. Then again, did the front page?
