ISJ: Given his particular line of work, professional stuntman Eddie Braun knows about danger — and he plans for the worst.

  1. I’m sorry to have to post here but I’m unable to write anywhere else. I don’t know if it’s just my iPhone but for the past two days, anytime I go to this site I’m unable to read, navigate or anything else because there’s a black box that takes up half the screen.

    I hope there’s a solution,

    I think it’s your phone. I post with an i phone a lot with minimal issues. When I do run into pop ups turning my phone off and restarting it seems to help. Also, check for updates.

  3. Thanks anyway Bad_Brad, I updated a little before and have been restarting on and off with no results. I think it’s a glitch that may or may not resolve itself but an upgrade might be the solution. What I’m most annoyed about is that this is the site I visit most.
