    Use Chrome or install an ad-blocker.

    I get the same issue with a number of other football sites too when I use iOS safari.

    Having said that, the bloody thing has just come back. I’ve repeated the clear history and website data and it’s gone again - for now.

    Just for the record, I have a number of issues using Safari on an Apple ipad using only this website!
    I took my iPad to an Apple outlet who I showed the problems to and there was nothing they could do and said it was a problem with Vanilla!
    They also told me that in the next few months there will be a massive update bringing some on going issues of varying degrees into line and improving Safari/Apple bringing it bang up to date with other browsers......something  about a new generation version or some such jargon that I didn’t really understand.
    I can only hope that this update will improve the very irritating stuff I and some others are having to deal with since around March of this year.....prior to around that time it was perfect......I can’t be more specific about the date and may be a month or two out with that estimation.
    My keyboard now does not clear the screen when I have posted a message and my inability to see the drop down names of likes and lols on threads or posts other than ones I have started or posts I have sent myself.....very strange.
    I also have a problem when I send a PM, getting the drop down list of users to work so I can’t find a user name and post. I try over and over again and then for some strange reason it suddenly decides to work! Other times I just give up.

    Sound as , im no expert , but as Johnboy suggested try downloading and using the google chrome app as your entry to the internet, and see if it makes any difference, I try to not use safari.

    Upgraded to 12.4 on iPhone and CL on Safari seems fine now. Fingers crossed.
