I don't know if this topic has already been covered by others, but ever since this site was updated, pages on Android Google Chrome load much slower than before.
Even after the ads have all loaded, it still struggles to load the entire page.
Now daily I fail to click on the thread that interests me and I can only after several attempts, always risking to report comically the posts selected completely randomly (luckily a window appears asking for the reason), because the page jumps continuously and unexpectedly. Nothing serious, of course, but it is an unexpected annoyance, especially if due to an update of the site, which should improve it.

Greetings. 😉

What kind of android device is it? Is it an older device, or a new one?

I haven't noticed any major slowdowns like that when using my phone with chrome, although the ads sometimes mess with me too, lol!

A Samsung phone (Android 8) that is 4 or 5 years old.
Hmm, okay. Mine's from December 2016 and has Android 9 as it's last update.
Stupid question, but have you tried rebooting your phone lately? Or have free space?
Mine is slow as heck at the moment because I've filled it to the brim with music. 😅

I reboot it every month after recharging the SIM card. And there's over 10GB of available space plus 7GB on microSD. I forgot to specify that these page "jumps" happen mostly in the main "Forums" section, and more rarely within a thread. I also want to specify that I use a 3G (H+) data line, if that counts for anything. :)

Edit. I also checked using 4G, and the same thing happens.

Did you try the edge browser? I didn't see were running android 8 so I'm not sure if the app would be compatible with your device.

If that didn't work try using kiwi browser. I've used that quite a lot with no issues aswel
Current MS Edge should run on Android 6 or newer – 8 is not a problem

Kiwi is my choice as well because of full browser extension support.

No issues here either, Android 10 & Chrome. Though i should note, sometimes when i scroll it kind of glitches out & stutters, scrolling up and down fixes it, but doesn't happen very often.

Same here, man! Gotta have my tunes with me at all times.. Though my phone is not slow because of it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mine doesn't have an SD card, only the internal storage... And it's so full I get a warning that some functions might not be available and stuff 😂 I hope that's the reason it suddenly has become slow, will clean it up and convert some of the music to lossy formats!

Mines got a 128gb internal storage and 512gb external. Only use about 60gb for games. I use modded versions of Spotify or YouTube music if i want to listen to anything

I have both the internal and SD card close to being full, with the internal around 5GB & sd around 10GB free.

Could be an Android 9 thing, i never encountered it with Android 10.
ill clean it up and convert some of the music to lossy formats!
Oh no, blasphemy! Are you using flac? Same here, just downsample if you're using anything higher than 16Bit/44.1Khz. Unless you're already using that 😄

I think that is just a general problem with the mobile site as I aslo get the same problem on my note 20 using Samsung Internet Browser and also when I occasionally use Firefox.

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves
