    Wasn't sure where to post this.
    Is anyone else having problems getting onto this forum on their phone's web browser?
    My iphone XR uses Safari. I can load the Bowhunting.com web page, but trying to go to forums just sits trying to load and eventually times out. I can access other sites with no issues.
    @Justin any ideas? Is there a better platform to try to use?
    Thanks.

    Try clearing your cache on your iPhone not just safari. Try a restart too. If that doesn't work, tape a quarter to it and throw it off a bridge. The quarter is so you can tell folks you lost something. Then go get an android phone.

    There's nothing that should be preventing you from accessing the forum via Safari on your phone. I just tested mine and it worked fine.

    You can always try using the mobile app. Go to the app store and look for Bowhunting.com Forums and download that. In a lot of cases it's easier to use than the mobile site via your browser.

    ... As much as I hate this boilerplate, "60% of the time, it works every time..."

    If this doesn't, try rebooting your router...

    I had this issue a couple days ago. But I figured out it was the reception. Where I was when trying to check the forums on lunch, is known for drop calls. Might want to check your reception in the area when you couldn't access the forums. If not check your phone for a software update, when things start having issues with functioning on phones its a general indication of a soft ware update thats needed or is about to happen within the coming weeks.

    Well I just tried while connected to wifi and it worked fine. Must’ve been not real great cell signal even though it showed full bars. It was weird since I could load other sites and this one was the only one that wouldn’t load.
    And you guys can keep your androids.
