[Not A PTV Bug] Black Screen

[Sew Sumi]

The Forums option is also not available on my phone. I am also experiencing lots of black screens when attempting to visit forums. This seems to be more of an issue on my phone (Android) than my tablet.

Often times my screen goes black when switching between pages when viewing on my phone. If I swipe the screen, everything appears (ie blackness goes away).

@Sew Sumi @QQQQ Are you still experiencing this problem?

That exact same thing has been happening to me lately on my Fire tablet. I didn't report it because I was assuming it was the hardware. It's never done that on my iPhone.

Yes. It just happened after I read this message. I clicked on the Previously TV black banner to get to my homepage, and the screen went black. It cleared up when I swiped the screen.

I'm having the same issue, also on android running version 8.0.0

It happens multiple times a day. I haven't noticed it affecting any specific forums/topics more than others, but it's really frustrating.

What's odd is if I copy the address, close the tab, open a new tab, then paste the link and go - it will likewise open the black page in the new tab. 

I normally use Chrome on my phone, but recently downloaded Firefox and have signed into my PTV account with Firefox. I'll use Firefox for a couple of days and report back if it appears the issue is unique to Chrome, or if the issue still occurs with Firefox.

Update: I've been on PTV (different forums/topics) with Firefox for the past six hours and I haven't gotten the black screen at all. When I switch back to Chrome, it happens again. So it has to be something to do with android + Chrome + PTV not playing nice. Is it fixable?

Update: This is caused by a known Chrome bug, nothing to do with us.
