The last couple of months, I’ve run into an annoying problem where I’ll be working on a reply to a post, the page appears to refresh, and the post form is blank. The longer the post is open, the greater the odds it will be wiped. I’ve started writing posts in the Notepad and then copying it to TD but it’s annoying.

I’m using an iPhone 12 mini. Am I the only one with this problem?

After being posted for two whole hours on the Help Board? Gunning for Larry’s job?

Two people reported a similar issue back in May, but neither ever indicated if anything they did helped, or if it's still occuring.

To me it sounds like your phone is running out of memory, and there’s insufficient room for cache or temporary files. Do you have a lot of other tabs open that you could close? If not, maybe try clearing your website data/cookies and then rebooting your phone (which should free up some cache).

To do so, try this on your iPhone, but note that you will need to login to TD again, so make sure you know your password or have it saved:


• Close every open browser tab in Safari, even those in the background.


After closing all of your tabs:


• Settings > Safari > (scroll all the way down) Advanced > Website Data

• Click Show All Sites.

• Scroll (or search) until you find tigerdroppings.com.

• Swipe left, and click Delete.


Then back out. Just in case something is still hung up, let's force close every open app and then force reboot your phone.


• From the home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle. Swipe right or left to each open app, then swipe up on it to close it — keep going until they're all closed.

• Back on the home screen, press and quickly release the volume up button. Then press and quickly release the volume down button. Then press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.


Log back in to TD as normal and see if anything changes.

I have consistently had this problem on my last phone and my new phone I just got. It’s terrible. The page refreshes on its own erasing everything. It’s really bad. I have resorted to writing longer posts in my notes app and copy and pasting them.

This is not it. It’s doing it on my brand new phone too.

It’s not on my end. It’s on tiger droppings’ end. Something in code forcing page to refresh.

I really wish they’d fix it. It’s making the site borderline unusable.

I said prior to that that it didn’t help. Those instructions were posted in another thread about this and I followed them to the letter and it did not help at all.

iPhone 14
128 GB Capacity
69 ( ) GB Available
Software Current 17.6.1
Verizon

Does it to me about once a day.

I have very little else running on the iPhone when I’m attempting to post, one or two other Safari browser windows open.

I’m also circumspect about viewing and clearing emails, voice messages, text messages, etc.

I never have a bunch of unopened messages pending.

Yes, you did.

You also added, "I have plenty of extra memory. I’ve only used 74 out of 256 GB."

But what you are describing is long-term storage capacity, not memory available for immediate use.

Then you up and left me on read when I was trying to help you figure it out.

Wrong. We had already went over that in a previous thread about the same issue that went nowhere. I said then that it didn’t work. The issue keeps getting brought up and I keep getting the same supposed solution that doesn’t work. The instance you pointed out that I didn’t respond to was me giving up due to recycled non-solutions. I appreciate the attempt, I really do. But that ain’t it.
