Is anyone else having trouble typing stuff out? There's always an extreme delay. I wanna say it's my phone but this is the only site I have this problem with.

I get that too sometimes, right before my phone does a brief vibration then tab crash.

This is a problem for me too.

Block javascript and the site works, with a few hiccups like not having the tag buttons, quote and edit not working, and spoiler tags.

What I don't get is how GameFAQs has just decided to not fix their broken site. They have to know by this point.

Thought it was just my phone. It happens a lot recently and I don't know what's causing it.

Yep.

The mobile ads run so badly that they lock up the browser which prevents it from getting the typing

There was a time when I checked the site on mobile. An ad kept showing up where you have to tap on the X.

The most annoying part about this was that there was a delay before it pops up, so right when you think oh the ad hasn't shown up, maybe it only pops up once and you're good, but nope.avi

It shows up every time, and it baits you because right as you are about to click on a link, the fucking ad pops up and you tap on it.

The worst thing about the Internet is that nobody seems to be capable of specitying a damn height attibute on anything, so right when you're about to click somethibg, something up above loads and now congratulations you just clicked the link to llama porn instead of whatever you wanted to click.

I noticed the boards you have set as your favourites are very buggy from the board manager now. It keeps thinking you want to resort them when all you're trying to do is access the board.

The new thing for me is I have a hard time clicking links to open posts or go to my board manager. It doesn't register them the first 10 or so times I try. Then when it finally does and ad shifts the page and sends me to another post.

I can pretty much guarantee that was a more pleasant and doable experience than current GameFAQs mobile.

See, back in 2005 the site still worked.

The site is just fine when you block ads. I'm using Firefox on Android, and Ublock to block the ads, which works well. The other option on mobile is to disable JavaScript, but you'll break some features like quoting and such.

At some point some... uuhhh... "interesting" things were being advertised, and the management's response was something along the lines of "we don't make the ads there be nothing we of can do LOL :P " followed by "IT'S YOU OWN DAMN FAULT FOR NOT REPORTING EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE OF EVERY SINGLE OFFENDING AD!", it was so irritating.

Note: I'm obviously paraphrasing, but that was the spirit of their response to the situation

I thought it was ads (no blocker on Windows mobile) but the ticket responder said it wasn't, and that less than like 0.1% of users here use a Windows phone or something lmao, man that's small, so they don't test the site with it or something like that.


that's messed up :/

Ads popping up is barely any issue if you can get rid of them in 5 seconds by downloading an app.

Again, that is an issue with the site. GameFAQs is the only website that gives me an issue with typing lag followed by crashing. I shouldn't have to download an app to get by this. I'm giving it a go but this is far from a problem with anyone's phones, contrary to your post.

Right, and that's awesome and I believe you. However, that isn't the case for myself or others in this topic. It is not a safe bet to write this off as someone's phone when multiple people are complaining about it who have different phones. Not to mention GameFAQs being the only site to give this issue.
