crankypig 457 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Anyone know why I sometimes get a little blue square with a question mark in it on my iPad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma. 1,533 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 That little blue square with the question mark is an image placeholder that is telling you that it couldn't load the image. Internet Explorer uses a small square with a red x in it and Firefox uses a small ripped page icon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,424 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I don't know if its just me, but NS is becoming almost unusable on my ipad. Long waits for a thread to come up and when it does scrolling just locks up again and again. It is like it was a few weeks ago before CT deleted some material. I don't think there is a problem on my ipad because other sites seem just fine. For some reason things are o-k on my laptop, but I like to log in now and then through the day and the ipad is more convenient. At least it was. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,424 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Just discovered something for us iPad users. I am using Firefox on the iPad. Out of curiosity I logged in on Safari. Everything seems to be o-k. So it looks like some kind of issue with Firefox. I will dig in to Firefox a bit more and see if I can fix it. If I do I'll let you know.

FLY2 10,108 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I don't know whether iPads get full, but I NEVER save ANYTHING I've browsed. I also double press the button when I'm looking at the screen, and it shows every screen I've been on, such as Safari, games, cloud, emails, in fact everything. I then with one finger move every screen upwards, and it disappears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,424 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I checked for IPad updates and downloaded the latest. Things are much better now so the problem must have been in Firefox. I also had to switch totally off and then reboot it before the update loaded. I have a bad habit of just flipping the cover shut. This turns off the screen but it does not reboot, just comes straight up the next time you open the cover. Probably a good policy to switch it totally off now and then. That would totally clear memory etc.. So, problem solved for now. Plenty of spare memory in the iPad. Unless you would save a lot of photos, videos etc.. So memory was not the issue.
