Am I the only one?

It has gotten that when on the forums on my IPhone, after about 30 seconds it will pop up “webpage is not available - try again" and I will have to hit a button to go back to the forum. Do this, and about 30 seconds later, it will do the same thing. Very, very frustrating to say the least. Laptop or desktop, not a problem, only on my Iphone. If I am responding to a discussion, then it saves most of what I had typed into a draft and I can continue or change it, but if I happen to start a new discussion, it had better be short and I had better type fast because it will save none of it as a draft.

Nope. Iphone 8 started that about a month ago.
I rarely access GB from my iPhone 8 but just tried. I get an "application temporarily unavailable" message.
I have learned that I could never replace my laptop with an Iphone! Too many reasons to list here!
No. Same here for the past several months. I now use my laptop exclusively for GB forums.
I thought there was a thread that stated Apple would no longer support the GB app...

This might shed a little light on your problem. Bob
I am not going through an ap, but googling Gunbroker Forum and accessing it that way. I only utilize my phone when I am not around my laptop or desktop.
Never use a phone to access...........so, nope.
I usually use my ipad and have the same issue.
Kindle fire has been trouble free so far, fingers crossed that it stays that way. Lot more comfortable reclined in the ol'Lazy Boy perusing the forums than it is sitting at the desk top. Bob
All of you Apple guys having trouble?....................hhhaarrruuummmmppphhh
No Apple no Google! I don't like being censored.
What do you do about GB censorship? Don
It is not censorship if you willingly accept it, Don

No problems with my Google Pixel 4a Android smarter than I am phone.
I hardly ever use my laptop anymore. This dang thing has everything in one tiny box that you'd ever need that you can carry in your shirt pocket. It has a flashlight, gps, camera, video camera, voice recorder, alarm clock, compass, besides being a phone and very fast pocket computer that can answer just about any question you can ask it and it answers in a pleasant voice. Amazing that you can also deposit checks in your bank account with it. Just click on deposit or tell it to deposit a check and it'll automatically focus the camera and take pictures of the check front & back and deposit it.
Beats the hell out of setting inline at the bank drive thru. Want to listen to a song you ain't heard in years? Want to listen to radio? just tell it what you want. In the mean time you can tell it to order a pizza or order groceries from Walmart or from wherever. Amazingly it can understand my backwoods country bumpkin East Tennessee accent.
I don't even try with my iphone anymore.
Way too frustrating getting kicked off every 30 seconds.
My old ipad was good up until the switch here.
I can't even get it to load.
Why anyone would own ANY apple product is beyond me. They are absolute worst anti-consumer company there is, hands down.
They really are scumbags. They do stuff like make phones NOT repairable, on purpose, make "older" operating systems operate slower so you'll buy a new phone, etc.
You couldn't give me an iphone.
Do some research on it, and you'll be shocked at just how anti-consumer they are.
They are one of the main anti-right to repair companies, too.

I thought you were going to talk about the Aaron Lewis song that is blowing up the Lib's minds. It has the same name as this post. Look it up, It's all over you tube. I think it sold more downloads than Taylor Swifts last #1 song. That's just funny right there!!
They didn't do anything like that in the old days did they. 😁
Also pretty hard to line a bird cage with old cell phones. Bob
I do not have this problem. Hope this helps.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I am anti - Apple...............I will stick with Android.
Heck! I don't even know the difference between an apple and an android these days!
My mindset says apples make good pies and an android is some kind of robot from Lost in Space! 😐️
I may be living in the past, but I sure do like it there!
I have only ever had one iPhone (~2012) so not a ton of experience. But, could using another browser fix the issue? I guess it depends on where in the data stream the interference is. On my Android and PC's, I use Firefox with "uBlock Origins" ad blocker, and DuckDuckGo search engine. That seems to be about the right balance of availability to search results, filtering of ads, and readability.
I have been in I.T. for nearly 30 years now, and there are occasional times where I need something more than above and I generally go through VPN service for extra protection and anonymity.
I only ever got a cell phone when it became an absolute requirement for my job (I.T. Sys Admin). I pushed back for many years but once I rose to a certain level in my field, it was inevitable. I will say that for work they force me to have all these alerts and such. I've told them that it is having the opposite effect like the boy who cried wolf. I ignore it much of the time and have do not disturb turned on at night. If they need me, we have an operations center that will call me if it is important.
That said, flash forward to now and I'd probably have gotten one on my own by now anyway. We gave up our land line. It was problematic and when it rained hard, it could cut out completely. It is nice to use to regroup when hunting and we break off into our own areas. I might even downright enjoy it if it were truly just for me.
No land line here since the 90's..............not an Apple fanboy............always had Android. I wish that this tech never had happened............until I need a map......lol
