Can't get app to open certain threads

I am getting booted out of the app when I try and access some of the threads. Most annoyingly my post natal group in threads I'm on. It's there if I go online via safari but not through the app.

Am on iPhone 6 iOS 8.3

Don't know if it's related, but I'm having the opposite. Threads will not load on Safari (iPad), but working fine on the app (iPhone)

Seems to be fine on mine on the ipad - also 8.3.

I'd have to recommend sticking pins in a wax effigy of the App, Wotta. That approach seems the best one when it's playing up.

Hi WottaMess,

Really sorry if the app's booting you out like this. Can we just ask, are the threads you're having trouble with especially long ones?

This happens to me periodically too, I think I cried a bit when it wouldn't let me access the Walking Dead thread in Telly Addicts which I'd already posted on.

216 messages so largish but not massive?

I can open that thread without difficulty, Wotta.

WottaMess · 09/06/2015 08:53

Still doing it to me. Can open others fine. Have closed and reopened app but makes no difference. It's been 3 days now! Bizarre.

This always happens when someone puts an odd character in. I don't know if the encoding's different or if it's a rogue smiley because I am too lazy to debug it. Grin

Hi Wotta - would you be able to give us the titles of the threads you're having trouble with? Or does it vary?

WottaMess · 11/06/2015 07:45

I get it occasionally but suddenly constant trouble at present with post natal group March 2013 - packing up our troubles and getting excited about the new babies

Started at posts just after 200 I think...

And now I'm in! Grin

Glad to hear it! Smile

Ok so it just happened on this threadand now I know why - in this case it's an opening angled bracket followed by a lowercase i, which as we all know is start of the HTML tag for italics. Well, the app on iphone 6 Does Not Likey and bombs out.
