Everytime I select the last post on a topic, from the thread list, the profile of the poster appears, prior to the post.
Just downright annoying. Is there any way to fix it, or am I the only one having this issue.

I see it too, but haven't found it annoying yet.

Seems to have been a 'update' 2 days ago. Only affecting phone not laptop. Sure there will be a ' fix' along soon......said the man from Airbus

Affects my tablet, as well as phone.

Maybe affecting the OS; Android or IOS, rather than the type of device

I suspect you are accidentally clicking the name of the last poster, rather than the small arrow next to it that you mean to click. Try clicking a pixel or two to the right.

Hi IBobi,

This happens every time I click on any thread main title too - for example if I click on the "Formula 1" main header in Jet Blast, it briefly displays the original thread starter's profile - in this case G-CPTN.
It's not just clumsy fingers.

No IBobi , I have not changed my use of this site. And for a bunch of users to, at the same time, lose the ability to use their fingers accurately is stretching stuff a bit. I do know my device; a Samsung S9 had a system update in this same period, I don't know what the other guys suffering this are using, perhaps they could provide some details?

I am using a Sony Xperia running Android 7.1.1
(Nougat).
No update to my device before noticing this issue.

Have the same annoying issue on Android mobile. No change in my viewing habits either.

If this is just a brief "flash" of another page before the thread appears as normal, I suspect it is just a Cloudflare blip as the software protects us against an ongoing ddos attack, and it will go away when the thread subsides.

I have started to get the “profile blip” as well, iPhone 7, latest iOS, no ad block.
Just a short, less than a second, flash of the poster‘s profile before the actual post is loaded.

I’m experiencing the same on iPhone, using the ‘new’ PPRuNe through Safari. Sometimes a brief ~2 second flash, other times ~15+ seconds.

It doesn’t happen when using the ‘old’ format through a browser, however.
