Guys:
Right now, unless 8.1.3 is much better, the Mercury browser is the workaround. This is a widespread problem, and Apple is aware of it. I was advised to use Mercury instead of Safari by an Apple rep. Also, my iPad 2 was replaced by Apple due to the i0S 8 "upgrade."
This will get you going cleanly with Mercury in 30 seconds:
Click this link:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mercury-web-browser.../id331012646?mt...Click the icon with the cloud and arrow, and it will download.
Open.
Top right hand corner, click the three-line icon.
Click Settings.
Click "Popup Options," select "Block All Popups" and click "Settings" again
Scroll down and click "Extensions"
Turn on AdBlock.
Click "Settings."
Click "Done."
Got to Campfire and log on.
Goodbye Safari.
Please let me know if that helps.
