Display issues with Safarai on iPad and iPhone

[Navy Moose]

There has been a near constant problem on my devices with weird displaying of avatars and other images all over the screen on my iPhone 6 and my iPad. Both are running the latest iOS (8.1.2).

For instance, the same avatar will appear on every thread over and over.

If I can figure out how to take a screen shot, I'll add it to this post.

Thank you.

Ditto. The only way I've found to temporarily "fix" the issues is go into settings and clear cache and cookies.

Note, please, for what it's worth: I frequent other fora using vBulletin and variants thereupon, and NES is the only forum which displays these issues.

Yep, it gets pretty trippy. I've had all the emoticons temporarily turn into someone's avatar. I've just been chalking it up to a safari / vB 4.2 artifact bug.

Same here, thought it was just me

And it may be a bug. But why, one wonders, are other vBulletin forums working correctly?

Here is a screen shot showing the repeated avatars. Please note, this is not my avatar being repeated. Mine is usually the very last one.

I'm glad to see it is not just me having this problem.

Mine has been doing it for awhile too.

Same here. Thanks for binging this up. I've been meaning too.

 

[terraformer]

Me too. Just the phone, not iPad or Mac.

I have seen it too....a hard restart makes it go away for me (hold power and home button till you see the apple).

 

[SteelShooter]

Lol, just got it again as I was reading this post

 

[ISOTOX]

Just my I-pad doing it ....

Shut off java script and problem gone. It started happening when I updated my software 2 months ago.

The issue lies with the way the new version of Safari interacts with the server setup at NES... unfortunately there really isn't anything I can do about it on my side short of completely changing the server makeup - nor anything you can do about it on your side, short of downgrading iOS which isn't really possible either.

Here's a decent writeup:

If Safari users shut off javascript the issue will not be a problem. That is what I do when I use the I phone on this site.

If that works, so be it. Given how dependent a number of sites are on javascript, however, that may degrade your experience significantly depending on the website.
