Why is this site constantly unstable?
Read it on an iPad in portrait and the thing shimmies then devolves into 5 point font.
Read it on an iPad in landscape and it does the same sh1t.
If I try to expand the magnification, that might work until the ad header changes, then it devolves into sh1t again.
Like now with the Guardians of the Galaxy ad.

If your readers cannot engage with your site, I’d suggest your website is crap.

Have you tried on a different device or browser?
Is it displaying the 'desktop' or 'mobile' version of the page? Maybe toggle that and see if it suits your device better.

Thanks.
I am using the iPad browser, not the app.
I will try the pc browser tomorrow to test the stability there without changing any of my current preference settings.
I will let you know if I have the same issue.

I remember Luke laying waste to the middleweight division and just assuming he’d reign for years to come… then his chin turned into talcum powder.

Poor bastard

He's also as dumb as a bag of hammers

Well, apart from me having a whinge, why the site instability?

I think the site is built for specific devices chief. It has something to do with the company that built the website. Down the bottom of the site you'll see their details.

Same page, seconds apart.
Then if the ads change, the whole page distorts.

Hands down the worst trash talk I think I've ever seen in any pro sport.

Perry isn't that far behind. The press conference for the fight made me ashamed of tuning in. Poor bastards can't string a sentence together between them.

I've written up a bit of a reminder for some Bigfooty terms and rules, please see the thread below.
If you have any questions or concerns please try to keep them in that thread. Thanks

Rules - Bigfooty Rules Reminder

Hi everyone, Due to recent activity both on our board and around the site, I wanted to post a quick refresher on a few rules for the benefit of our posters and newcomers to the board. I encourage you to read the official Bigfooty Terms & Rules for a clear understanding of what is and isn't...

Cheers. I've used Firefox and Chrome without issue on a Pixel phone, Galaxy tablet and Windows PC and haven't experienced this.

From your further posts it sounds like it's related to ads - have you identified a specific ad, or type of ad, that causes this specific issue?

Bisping getting the KO against him was one of my favourite moments in MMA.

Weirdly doesn’t seem like a money thing, at least, with his name and profile I suspect he could make better money doing other stuff, I think he’s just a moron.

The two screen shots above are good examples of one of the impacts.
There is no discernible difference with the ads though, simply whatever happens to pop up in the first rolling banner thread and the next, more static, banner thread below that one.
Extremely difficult to then navigate the site.
Where it totally screws up is the ads which shrink the site image to allow that and the ad to fit the page.
Yesterday, these ads were for Guardians of the Galaxy.
I will take a screenshot and include it in a reply post to you.
The impact of these two factors is worse in Portrait than Landscape.
The remedial action is to hit refresh until the cause disappears.

It honestly looks like a confused service. It started as an alternative news service bent towards the left and social justice. Had little flirtations with the right, tried to be serious, tried to be click-bait then just looked like they couldn't work out where they were going. They probably needed to go with that more Friendly Jordies style guerrilla journalism model. The hard right is much better at using social media and alternative news platforms to sell their message.

Lesson #1 in beancountery: don’t pay for what you can get for free.

Is the lesson before or after the lobotomy?

This is a version of a quote made by the then NZ Prime Minister (“Piggy” Muldoon).
When asked about the migration of New Zealanders to Australia, he responded by saying that it would raise the IQ of both countries.
Best backhanded insult in diplomacy ever.
As you were going for in your post.
BTW: Piggy was his nickname because he had a face resembling that of a pig, and all this happened before your father had pubes.
Proving that I am as old as Methuselah, and just as handsome.
