I am just going outside. I may be some time.

It has become close to impossible for me to contribute to long threads. This has been a problem for some time but has got much worse in recent weeks.

Platform: iPhone 4S running the most up to date OS possible and the Safari browser, not updatable. No add-ons or filters are possible.

Symptoms: if I try to contribute to any long thread (working with the latest 50 messages) and try to edit my comment, the page will almost always crash and reload, losing what I've written. The only workaround is to write the entire contribution in the Notes app (or maybe some other text editor), copy-paste it and hit Submit immediately; no editing within the Mudcat edit box.

My guess as to what's happening: the page has got so bloated with ad code that the buffering required for text editing causes an overflow. Since I have no way to throttle the ad code, I can't improve the situation.

No other app does this. Nor does any other forum I view in Safari.

You'll have seen some uncharacteristic typos in my messages lately. That's because I can't edit anything properly. I refuse to make a fool of myself like that.

I might have a more reliable platform later this summer when the village broadband goes live. Bye till then. I can read this thread but won't post anything more to it.
