Only seem to happen on iOS devices - sometimes external links open to within the same window but CSS isn’t loading. Strange and I can’t even seem to reproduce!
Looks like this:
Also found reports on other public discourse forums:
Since it was reported and fixed before I wonder if it can be related to a theme or theme component maybe? Would appreciate any help.
no simply because I saw this behaviour a few times in the last two weeks, only on my iPhone and have heard the same from users but cannot reproduce, seems random.
this looks like an old bug. I can’t reproduce anywhere at the moment and all those linked topics are at least a year old. sounds like a forum that isn’t up to date.
It seems to be the same behaviour - it’s when opening an external website from within the discourse. For example, opening https://discourse.org/ from meta.discourse.org.
I thought so too, however it seems to only happen when clicking through from the forum and because I found other posts I thought maybe someone can shed a light on this - could be an iOS issue. Was easier if it was not loading CSS every time and just sometimes
@Lilly I wonder if you could share how discourse handles href and if there’s any particular way for iOS? This seems to be a Safari related issue, but it only ever happens from within discourse going out to another domain. That other domain isn’t being loaded as if discourse is trying to locally load the html of the requested page.
We’ve already tried forcing no-cache policy and playing around with www prefix. nothing seem to work. It’s exactly the issues mentioned here:
They had the main website load from their community.URL.com which caused the same partial page load.
