On the latest beta is the âstill loadingâ screen really needed? The progress bar shows that itâs loading? Am I missing the problem that this new display is solving?
I guess the progress bar could be a little lower down or more visible until the page is loaded?
The buttons under âstill loadingâ also seem odd. Why not have them at the bottom of the screen like the buttons that appear there when youâre browsing a forum?
I actually only see this new display whilst loading meta, not any other forums. And it only appears for a fraction of a second. Not enough time to even press it. It was difficult even taking a screen grab!
I assume it appears after a certain amount of seconds? Maybe it could only appear if the progress bar isnât moving very quickly?

The âstill loadingâ screen on the latest beta solves the problem described in I got trapped by a really slow site but I think your comment rightly points out that itâs triggered it a tiny bit too early. Iâm pushing a new beta to fix another subtle bug, and will adjust the timing of the loading screen as well, showing it only a few seconds later. Its purpose really is just as a fallback on the rare occasion a site loads way too slowly or doesnât load at all.
Edit: new beta build 163 should be out.

Thanks Penar!
Any thoughts on the progress bar being hidden when recording a screen?
I think we can live with the progress bar being hidden while recording.

For completeness - itâs also hidden when Iâm on a call.

By that token is it also hidden whenever GPS is active?

Indeed it is. Good catch.
I assume any other states where the status bar is drawn differently by iOS will have the same result.
