I have loading/lock-up issues when on my iPhone 6 using chrome, both on wifi and data. ISP is Frontier FIOS and cell data is AT&T. Same as a week or two ago but went away after a day or so.

Haven't had issues using a computer though.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Sounds like it may be a caching issue. Have either of you powered off your devices then turned them back on again? If not, please try doing so. If that doesn't help, please try clearing your cache manually: http://www.technipages.com/chrome-for-android-clear-data

I'll fire up my test phone and see if I can reproduce it.

Hmm, good thing is I think I see what you're talking about. Seems to be an issue with V2, as it doesn't happen on V3. That gives me something to go on

Had to restart to get out of screen lock.. still slow typing.

Noted. Every bit of this information helps

Way too many tracking cookies and they slow things down. There are 5 even before logging in

This is something that has bothered me for a long time. Unfortunately we don't have the revenue to run NWFA and tell the ad networks go play in the street.

I have been looking into alternatives for NWFA V3, but I won't be able to do anything until that version is finalized.

Did the power cycle and it helped shorten up the delays but they are still present.

Is V3 released to all members now? How can we tell which version is running?

Good to hear it helped a little, still tracking this down.

V3 is only an option for Supporting Members, Vendors, and Volunteers at the moment. Once we get a little closer to the end of the beta we'll be opening it up for everyone to try before the launch.

The problem carries over to other browser windows that don't have NWFA open as well. Have to close all NWFA windows to use browser normally. Also seems to be more frequent when creating a post rather than just reading through them

On my phone today images and videos would not show on the page, now that I am home it seems to be fine on my PC

Is this issue still occurring?

I could not connect at all this morning. "Could not find server" message.

Still having sporadic issues on my phone but now it does not seem isolated to NWFA

It's slow at times but there has been a lot of improvement...

Yeah, we had more DNS issues this morning. Luckily we got it resolved and most people are able to connect. There are still some who haven't had their DNS fully propagate yet, hopefully soon.
