I'm always visiting this site on my iPad 2 and while looking at the Forum Topics/viewing posts in a thread, this usually occurs.

Any reason why?

I believe it is really hard to code for mobile (iPod, iPhone, iPad). That's why when you visit the full site some things go out of proportion etc.

That's quite unusual I must say, I've never really seen anything like this when I get on my iPad. Are you zoomed in or something?

Nope.

This occurs about 90% of the time while on this site.

Does Opera have a browser app for the iPad? Try that for research's sake.

IIRC, this used to happen on my iPhone when I was viewing a page (eg. a thread) then hit back to go back to the forum page.

Yup. I have it installed but it looks pretty crappy...

This happens with my i-phone as well. Another problem I have is being unable to select the submit button (i.e. it does not appear as a hyperlink)

I can't really think of any other reasons why it may be doing this. Is your Safari up to date? Maybe there is a bug or glitch that hasn't been patched.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Safari works well for me when I am 'padding this site. The top of the page pulldowns aren't great, but that's the only problem I encounter.

That's usually true. My Win Phone 7 seems to really like this site and its features.

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

This isn't the most helpful thing I could post, but that image is ripe for a Kanye interruption joke. I won't make it because I have pride, though.

The only issue I experience with my iPad is the problem with the pulldown menus. Apart from that, I haven't had anything significant go wrong with this site. I'll give it another try tonight when I get home and see if things have changed.

  • 08.11.2011 9:26 AM PDT

It could be the fact that the hover function/whateveruanttocallit is hard to replicate on a touchscreen device versus a mouse. I'm not sure how mobile devices handle that, so I could be wrong.

Yeah, I just got an iPad this weekend and the same problem has occurred. I just refresh and continue. It also did that to me sometimes on my iMac when using Firefox, but not with Chrome.

Usually, it's a "double tap" system, where the first tap opens the drop down menu and the second tap (in the same spot) opens the link.

In the case of Bungie.net on the iPad (and other iOS devices) the drop down menu doesn't seem to respond to this system, instead treating the first tap as if it were the second. Thus, instead of opening the drop down menu on the first tap, it opens the link. It's annoying if you want to get to a specific forum because you have to navigate an entirely new page to find it.

  • 08.11.2011 11:39 AM PDT

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

The site was designed well before development of the iOS. Stands to reason that some things will not function as well or at all.

I have no issue viewing the site on my iPad 2. I'm actually posting from it now.

My ipod touch has problems with the drop down menu.

My issue with this website is that the scroll bar has issues (on the iPad).

I'm on my iPad too. It only happens occasionally for me. Just reload the page!
