Thanks Dave. I should point out (although I presume you realised this) that I am referring to the “mobile” version of the site. If I switch to the traditional view the page loads just fine on my phone – but I kind of like the mobile version…

This one is nothing to do with the Happiness Engineers!

I’ll report it as a problem.

Hi Big Dave!

The latest mobile version of the site crashes my phone! Literally!

I have an iPhone 3GS running the latest IOS 5.5.1 and when I try to load today’s (DT 26,870) hints it tries to load it for a while and then crashes completely – by which I mean that the Safari web browser just closes of it’s own accord. I’ve never seen that before!

It may be something to do with the volume of comments (101 at the time of writing) because it loads the current NTSPP page (currently 4 comments) just fine. I haven’t had a chance to rty any of the other pages yet…

Perhaps the WordPress Happiness Engineers are a bit grumpy at the moment?

I’m not aware that it needs a different address.

It only works on touch phones and there should be an on-off toggle switch at the top or bottom. If you are using the mobile theme it will have a title of “Big Dave’s Mobile Crosword Blog”, and it is a theme not a site in its own right.

Can anyone tell me the new address of the Mobile version of this excellent blog? On my Shameless android I seem to start on the right pages then as I enter the latest days blog it reverts to the pc version ….. I’m trying deleting everything in the phones memory but the old address is buried in it somewhere illusive ( or I’m yanking the wrong buttons)…..

Thank goodness the site is up & running again. I was beginning to get seriously worried that the Happy Engineers (or whatever they called themselves) had abducted BD! It was only a reply e-mail from Pommers that assuaged my concerns.

Yes- stop using Internet Explorer – it’s rubbish and doesn’t properly support current internet protocols (and never has!).

Firefox is much better, or try Safari, Opera or Chrome

it says ‘when a website causes a shut down or crash, internet explorer stops trying to recover it after two attempts to avoid causing an endless loop’ !! all gobbledygook to me, what a pain, is it just happening to me?

it also says Internet Explorer is having trouble with this website and has stopped trying to recover it, try going back to homepage, this happens if I press the comment or back button, just wondering if anyone else is having a problem?

Having a bit of a problem with the site today, when I use the refresh button it goes off and I have to ‘recover’ it

It was probably my explanation!!

Thanks Mary, but I really just couldn’t get this, even with all the letters in AND your help.
As I have already said in another place, I couldn’t solve it therefore i don’t like it!

The avatar is associated with your email address not your alias – you could go back to that if you logout and just enter Lostboy and your email.
