Default Forum runs slow on iPad?

Anyone else notice that Rennlist has been painfully slow to load on an iPad the last few days (but runs fast on a real computer -- on same router)?

I am also having difficulty logging in with Google+. it takes two times to log in - first login I get a error message, then the second login goes. Strange.

The Garage talk app sucks too. The only thing I use.

Internet Brands really needs to spend some $$$ on what their core business is.

There is a new Apple software update that I've been avoiding because every time I do one, I always have issues with the app. Maybe the issue with you guys?

I primarily view RL on an iPad, and I do keep the iOS up to date. I have noted some days the site will slow down, while other online sites seem to be operating at the same speed, during those times. I am no expert but my guess the flow and route of data communications is complicated and can vary. Mostly I find the RL speed is fine, only once or twice has it slowed down to the point I gave up and came back later, or the next day. Sometimes on a Sunday morning my entire online experience is painfully slow, I chalk that one up to my service provider doing system work, or God telling me I should be in Church not at home looking at cars/aircraft, and boats on my iPad.

What ipad do you have?

I can tell you that the latest ios update for my old ipad 3 has made the entire ipad slow. iOS 9.3.5 is the latest that ipad 3 will take and all of a sudden surfing the web on safari is slow (prior release of ios before 9.3.5 had surfing super fast on ipad 3).

Yet, latest 10.x release for my iphone 5S is fast (Appledid get in trouble kinda few years ago about some slow down and did a quick update release which fixed speed on the original iphone 5 - google the story).

Apple does this deliberating planned obsolescence (I am sure all hardware/software manufacturers do this).

I don't think it has anything to do with the iPad itself because I have not updated the software in a while and it's always worked well in the past. This is a recent development.

And ... with some more investigation it appears the Big Brother has decided to make Rennlist intolerably slow for anyone who is using AdBlocker on a tablet. Turned it off, and it's lightning fast like it always has been. Turned it back on, slow as molasses.

Wasn't that nice of them?

It's slow because your iPad is a 991.1 3.4L. LOL

It's more like a 912.

Interesting - I have been complaining to my wife that my iPad is choking and getting incredibly slow. Not that I feel any better, but at least I know now it's not just my iPad.

My dad just got the "the new ipad" which just got released like few weeks ago. It is super fast and very nicely priced. But in few years this "new" ipad will become old and slow magically by software - Lol.

I am just using my ipad 3 to read kindle books. The kindle app works super fast on it.
