Hey folks, Using my IPad to view the Fire is nearly impossible. It keeps reloading the page saying "a problem occurred". Also, it is crazy slow, especially while trying to type a post. Is this common, or do you think my IPad has issues? Thanks

My iPad is nearly worthless on here.
P.S. and I am using the ad blocker browser as Safari is worse

It's not your ipad its this site. Its over run with obnoxious ads that constantly attempt to redirect. The owner is well aware of the problem and never makes any serious attempt to correct the problem. I can only assume that allowing those sorts of obnoxious ads on his website must be highlly profitable.

I'm using my iPad now and generally always do. I'm having no problem. Are you sure AdBlock is on? Go to Settings, then Content Blockers and confirm Ad blocker is turned on. Settings - Safari Content blockers If that doesn't work, you might try clearing your "website data".

Hi Kingston,Thanks for the reply. I don't see a "content block" tab in my settings.

Did you click on the "Get Adblock Now" button? That should take you to iTunes. Mine says "OPEN" because, I've already got it.

Ever since I downloaded Adblock's free browser, I've had no other problems surfing the Campfire on my IPad Mini. It's the only way to go, IMO.
The Fire had become Un-usable on Safari.
