FYI - We have heard similar complaints after updating forums to 2.7.2: mobile site going completely blank. We do not have any specifics about the client OS or browser though.

Hi @sam , Discourse version 2.8.0, used here on meta has no issues, so no need to change Discourse code for this issue, I think. We just wait for version 2.8.0 and it will be fixed. Meanwhile we use another browser.

Well… you’re not the only one suffering from this issue @jesus2099 :slight_smile:

Yes but the mentioned fix would apparently be to serve a static read-only HTML version to those browsers. So I prefer waiting with no changes, as this more recent version of Discourse, here on meta (2.8.x), does work with those browsers in full featured mode (maybe thanks to transpiration).
