The demo page (which is linked above) should transform those loading message into a list of threads you can click into. Would you mind filing a bug over on https://github.com/mcnuttandrew/forum-explorer ?

https://github.com/mcnuttandrew/forum-explorer/issues/68 JohnFen's may more accurately be this other issue: https://github.com/mcnuttandrew/forum-explorer/issues/69 I also made an issue for how it looks on Chrome in Android: https://github.com/mcnuttandrew/forum-explorer/issues/70 On checking Firefox on Android, I wonder if this is the platform JohnFen was trying: https://github.com/mcnuttandrew/forum-explorer/issues/71

What type of browser are y'all on? I'd love to fix this issue. It would be a big help if you would file me an issue here https://github.com/mcnuttandrew/forum-explorer/issues
