Problems loading page (iPad)

I don't think that this is a macrumors issue. I have seen the same thing happening on my old iPad mini on other sites, ever since I upgraded to ios 8. I don't remember this happening on my iPhone 5s, but I don't use it often to browse the forum, so I cannot be sure.

I think it's a Safari and ios 8 issue when running on old hardware with less memory than the "current" devices.

I've been having the same thing happen on my first gen iPad mini. It's usually when I try to post something. I've attached a picture of the error message I get. It's on Safari, latest iOS (8.1.3 I want to say?)

Same issue here. Happened about 20 times yesterday and 5 times thus far today. Mainly happens when I open a thread or try to respond to one. I got the error trying to type this right now.

Today I cannot access macrumors.com at all, but I can access forums.macrumers.com.

I get this on all my devices:

Another member that has been seeing this. It's weird. Same thing as the screen shot Traverse posted. It's not consistent, but when it happens I can get into the forum through a link in an email and then get to the front page from there. I'm seeing this on a second gen iPad Mini and a 2012 Mac Mini. Using Safari on both.

Macrumors down?

Macrumors home page does not load on my iMac with OS X 10.10 or on up to date iPad mini...
I thought the site had been down for a week!
Forums load fine...

Most definitely a Macrumors.com issue - Both my iOS units crash Safari upon loading either the front page or the forums (Just a second before it is fully loaded), and they never crash on anything else.

I've downloaded iCab mobile on the same units, and with that browser there is no problem accessing either page, so it is also a Safari specific issue for me.

Odd, because I see similar issues on other sites.

iPad Air, iOS 7.1.2

Safari crashes when navigating off the main page. Might be malformed ads b/c you can navigate off before the ads load without crashing. Seems to be particular to the main page only. Started happening in the last few days and the issue is still present as of today, 3/13.

iPhone 5s, iPad Air, both iOS 7.1.2

Safari crashes when trying to get into the forums from the main site link.

The only way to get into the forums without Safari crashing, for me, is to click at the end of a news story where it shows the number of comments.

This is definitely a MacRumors issue. Doesn't occur on any other site. If I had to guess, I'd say it has something to do with the ads.

This is still happening. Probably a mal-formed ad, but when loading the MR front page on my iPhone or iPad and then clicking the "forums" link, Safari crashes. EVERY time.

The only way for me to get into the forums is to Google "macrumors forums" and then clicking one of the sub forums from the Google search results.

IPad safari page not loading/reload problem solution

Try resetting network settings. Seems to have solved this problem for me.
