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.

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ill stick with my Battlefield. Yea a predator hunting game like that would be cool. Esp if you can be Arnold and say "Get to da choppa"

    Double claymores to the face definitely kill a predator lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure I would want something on fire between my legs
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I'm sure at minimum the starter was fried
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Alternator and battery
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Prob alot of fried parts. It was still smoking when I left.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I would've said show me how it rides

    I'm getting sick and tired of cheap ass baking pans now
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I think it be cool to have one that would fit in my pickup truck bed, then I could put down ramps n drive it off.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Used this one 5 times already impossible to clean
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You need the $900 copper coated ones, they are good for at least 10 times cooking before they are un cleanable

    Condoms are only meant to be used once Ken lol
