Also, the website does that weird narrow formatting thing too - it coincides when a banner ad pops up at the bottom.

In any case, thanks for not blocking them. We do need the revenue to keep the lights on.

I’ve always had ads and have never had issues with the formatting - think it also maybe coincided with the last os update, maybe?

Still not observing any issues whatsoever on my iPhone so I am still not sold on the 'iOS is broken' theory. I am a subsriber though so wonder if it's the ads thats triggering some sort of issue?

iOS 26.5 has been released today and since I've updated I have not seen this issue pop up. But Murphy's Law stipulates it'll eventually happen to me but not everyone else.

 

So everyone, update your devices and give it a go.

No need to rub in that you have your own law 😀

A week or two ago I noticed when connecting to PAK'nSAVE's website (Cloudflare CDN) it waited for protocol downgrade to plain http before resuming on https. Is this what's happening here (and is what Safari doesn't like)?

Damn it. Still not fixed on the latest version of iOS. 

 

And only affecting sites behind Cloudflare. I’m calling it, it’s a Cloudflare issue.
