Title: Avatar mix up
Post by: silly moo on April 08, 2016, 02:46:15 PM
I'm using an iPad and on the forum a lot of the avatars and adverts are mixed up. Lots of sheep in beach buggys are appearing all over the place.

I can still read everything but there is a bit of a mix up of images.

Malc has just told me that my avatar appears as an advert.

There was a recent Apple software update but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

:thankyousign:

I had a vaguely similar problem on iOS earlier in the week - an image from a thread was being tiled across the whole page, rendering it unusable.

I usually use an iPad to view NGF and have installed the recent Apple upgrade you mention.

Haven't experienced any of the problems you describe

Sorry I can't be more help

I don't see all the problems Ronnie has seen, but I do get part of the advert for the N'porium appearing where her avatar normally shows. Only appears to be on her posts tho'. I use an IPad as well. Not checked on my phone or a PC yet. Will try Firefox on the iPad now.

Fine here on ipad, pc and iPhone except that I still get a problem which I posted a couple of weeks back where I have to log in every time on the ipad. (It's fine on both pc and iPhone).

Sorry to hear that.  I have no problems on my devices and browsers, so I can't help.

It may be a good idea to clear your iPads cache, as this may clear the problem.  http://lww.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5007/~/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-ipad%3F (http://lww.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5007/~/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-ipad%3F)

Everything is OK here on an IPad running 9.3.1

Are you running safari or chrome / Firefox?

NGF works well in all 3 here

No probs on Samsung Tab3 either. Looks like another Apple idiosyncrasy.....

If you use the private mode on Safari, the problem goes.
