As of this morning, when I view ANY hub, I get this popup on iPad (with the hubber's domain name):
After I click "OK", the hub does actually load, but all advertising is missing. If this bug is true for all mobile web devices, that's 500,000 pageviews a day with no advertising revenue.
This popup also appears when I try to approve comments in the dashboard. Until today, we couldn't edit hubs with mobile devices (which really needs to be fixed, as more and more of us just take a tablet when traveling) but we could at least approve and respond to comments on our hubs.
There has (to the best of my knowledge) never been any advertising in HubPages mobile view. It's not a bug, they actually designed it that way, and that's what I've seen in the mobile view since 2010 when I got my iPad and the HubPages app first was made.
And they've also never made it so you could edit Hubs via mobile devices, app or not. I've still got the email I sent HubPages admin on my iPad from April 2010 where I reviewed how the HubPages site worked with the 1st gen iPad, and made a whole bunch of recommendations.
This site has a long-standing history of being behind the 8-ball, not ahead of it, so don't hold your breath on any of these requests. Remember, the community was screaming about low quality hubs needing to be cracked down on for over a year, and admin didn't respond until Panda came up and bit them in several tender spots.
Okay, so the no ads are a feature and not a bug. (I coulda sworn I was seeing ads when I viewed hubs until now, because my iPad has rapidly become my laptop, but my memory is fuzzy).
I maintain that this new bug of having a popup telling you to reload any hub you visit, before you've had a chance to view it, is probably something they want to think about fixing.
Also, it would be nice to restore the functionality we had yesterday re: approving and responding to comments.

HubPages' new policy of spreading out the pictures and rearranging hubs has made an absolute mess of so many of my pieces. It will take a lot of editing and re-writing and formatting for a large number of my articles because they are in need of photos that are placed NEXT to the text, not on...

Just checked it on Alexa.com, and realized which (alleged) effect the Panda updates of Google has on traffic. Although I'm still happy with the traffic my Hubs have, are the foundations increasingly eroding. Are there any ideas to change this trend? http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/hubpages.com

We recently rolled out a change that makes viewing hubs using a mobile browser a better experience. Basically, we've removed the sidebar and stripped away anything that wasn't essential. We've tested it on the iphone and some versions of android and it works pretty well. However,...

Why are there no comment boxes on your hubs?I have gone to two of your hubs (canine arthritis and children's playhouse) and neither has a place to enter a comment. I tried closing out and going back in but still no comment section??
