ios10 causing slight issues with display

If, like me, you've updated to the latest ios from Apple, you may be getting some display problems with the forum.

Essentially, the text box where folks write their posts stays slim and blue, as opposed to white and rectangular. I've yet to read anything on the Forumotion tech site about this, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they sort it out.

So please don't panic and think it's your phone or something going on here. It will get sorted.

Btw - no need for you android users to gloat here too - thank you!!

I'm glad you've clarified that Tim. It was bothering me!

I also had an issue at the weekend with my ipad. A pop up saying something like 'congratulations Google user you've won an iphone 7'. It appeared every time I tried to log in and the only way to get rid of it was to close the page. It didn't appear last night so maybe this has been resolved.

This is the very annoying pop up I'm getting. Anyone else getting this?

By the way I've not clicked it as it's a scam!

Where are you when this happens? Home? School? Somewhere else?

As it's not technically possible (yet...) to be infected by a computer virus on an Apple device*, the suspicion is that another PC in your network has been affected which in turn may have changed the IP address of your wifi router. The effect of this is an automated redirect to this page with the pop up etc.

My advice would be to run anti spyware/malware scans on affected PCs and to reset the wifi router to factory settings.

Btw: a way to 'click' without it causing problems is to switch your device into airplane mode first. This switches off all wifi, Bluetooth and 3G/4g etc so the page can't communicate with anything when clicked.

Once it's gone you can turn airplane mode off again and all should be good to continue as normal.

It's always at home but only on my iPad. No other devices in the house are affected??

Check your safari settings on your iPad, specially the homepage settings. There is also an option to block pop ups in there too.

Bring it along at the w/e and I can take a quick look for you.

Will do. Thank you.

Is there any news on when the display is going to be fixed on Apple devices? I can't see what I'm writing now as the text has turned black on the blue background!

Not got that issue HH. Try rebooting your device.

The forumotion help pages say it's not an issue they can sort. It looks like they are waiting for IOS 10.1 to provide the solution.

It's working again.
