Is it me ! Or because there's no stars

Is there a problem with the forum then ???

  I am on FM useing my Samsung tablet and it is working fine

iPad user here with no major issues. If I go too high on the screen the grey banner is dropped down, I scroll to the bottom & it disappears. I also tap once then wait a few seconds. In the top left of the screen is the std 'buffering circle' that tells me the Tab is reacting to my instruction, so no need for further taps. I also have a Samsung TabA6 but the IPad is my default choice. Like Tinny I'd drop the forum before the Tab.

I'm wondering whether some of the older phones etc can be upgraded to improve the situation or maybe are getting out of date for some uses? 

The IPad is a quite well designed piece of hardware. (Expensive and not exactly good value for money).   Its just a pity that the IPad uses the Apple IOS.----- It's poor, has compatibility issues with many websites, and cannot be tweeked to improve performance. ----If I had one I would just use it for gentle quick browsing the net ----- but if I wanted to do proper intensive work on the internet, I would choose a quality piece of hardware and load it with a proper operating system. I have 3 of those and they all work perfectly.

+1, I find the ipads superb working with other Apple/IOS devices, but attempt any form of interaction with other formats & the Apple device rejects it, it will then offer an alternative that Apple supports(Apple kit) at a high price. I've slowly been replacing my Apple kit with Android devices, they accept interaction with Apple/IOS kit. My Ipads will still be my first choice until they fail mind.

Whhooooaaa! 

On a rare occasion, I have to disagree with my friend from north of the border.

Apple use a 'closed' operating system. That is, it is not open to developers to meddle with as they see fit (witness the many versions of Android, a lot of which lose a great deal of functionality when converted to, for example, a Kindle version) or the fact that all and sundry can meddle with Microsoft software.

By contrast, Apple protect their software from meddling. All apps are vetted by Apple before being made available.

Macs have a far better reputation for avoiding malware etc than Microsoft.

If only I could afford a Mac!

Stop using expensive CC sites, Ian. You'll soon have saved enough! Winking smiley!

Well thats a great proposal David, I think you as a MOD should be helping members use this site not making silly suggestions like that..Lets face it this new site has gone from bad to worse! 

Well as someone who used to post on a regular basis on CT I migrated away away about two weeks after the so called re launch of the new web site. I am now happily ensconced on a new we site and am really enjoying the experience.

It's got nothing to do with stars, or any rubbish like that. It's all do do with the freedom of using a friendly web site that works well. Is not slow and cranky, and is also the home of many old friends who left this site long ago.  I still monitor this site from time to time but do not regret my decision to leave.  For me it was all about the CC's failure to listen to our requests and their absolute failure to live up to their promises to deliver a totally new and up to date forum.

So with much regret, for I truly wanted this new web site to succeed,   I remain logged out.
