I'm somewhat limited in my ability to address this. I never use Chrome and I don't use a phone to look at BF.
But maybe we can do a little trouble shooting to ID which part of your system is causing the issue.
--Have you tried clearing your cookies? Corrupted cookies can cause odd problems in accessing web sites.
--Have you tried accessing BF using a different browser on your phone? Firefox is one of the few browsers which is not based on the Chrome engine. Try using Firefox on your phone.
--Have you tried accessing BF using Chrome on a PC?

Thought it was just me… Was going to give it a few days before I worried about it. Started yesterday for me on Chrome with a Windows 11 PC.I rebooted everything this morning. Chrome did update FWIW… but the issue was still present today.
2-3 reloads before a page loads correctly on occasion. Sometimes I just get a blank screen, other times it just does not change at all.
Also, sometimes when I click a link, nothing happens, and I have to click it again.
No issues with my iPad or iPhone with Safari or Firefox.
Sounds like it might be a Chrome issue.

Switch to Brave or DDG. Fewer issues, better security. Both are based on Chromium by Google, so look and feel is very similar. Over the years of supporting hundreds of customers, these two have been far less trouble than Chrome. Mobil and desktop versions are available for both. If you need extensions/add-ins then stick with Brave as DDG does not currently allow extensions for privacy reasons.

If the other Browsers are not having issues loading BF, that does kind of point the finger at Chrome.

Everything has been fine over here with the Brave browser on Windows 11, FYI. And on my iPhone.

I just checked Brave on Android. I accessed 3 subforums and 4 threads in each of those with no issues.
I normally use Brave on Linux. I've not had any issues there either.

It's DEFINITELY a Chrome/BF issue from my recent troubleshooting.

Using Chrome reminds me of an army draft physical hemorroid check. That part where they say, "drop your shorts, bend over, spread your cheeks, and let some sunshine in." The exposure to your personal data on Chrome is similar.

Something tells me the Knarfeng is not a windows user either.
I had mine set up using the Chris Titus Tech utility.

Before its release, software should be tested on all major browsers. Chrome is the world's most popular browser. So someone may have dropped the ball.
