iPad Air crashes when on Craigslist on Chrome?

It's weird but my iPad Air 64 GB will respring (I think this is what it's called) when I'm trying to search craigslist.org using the Google Chrome app. Both the OS and Chrome are using the most recent updates. It's a refurbished one which I have had for about a week after they couldn't repair my 6 month old Air (that's a whole different issue) and it just started doing it today.


Google Chrome crashes a lot, but that's just a buggy app. When I'm in Chrome and I try to enter anything in the search box, my iPad flashes on the black Apple logo screen, and then back to the lock screen (not the lock screen you see after a reboot, the regular one). When I unlock it, Chrome has crashed, but other apps are still open.


Maybe unrelated, but I'm also having an issue typing into the text boxes on this forum using the on-screen keyboard. It won't happen at all using Chrome (a cursor won't appear and no type appears in the box), and the auto capitalization is really random, and the cursor jumps all over when trying to select text.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Seems to be a known issue craigslist is working on from looking at the CL board. It will work fine if you switch to thumbnail view instead of gallery view. In gallery view it will crash . It is not your iPad because I tried it on my iPhone 6 and it will do the same thing. It even does it using the bing browser. CL problem that just started happening about a week ago.

well ipad still does not work. iPhone, android, PC work fine. had this pad for months. Used Craigslist everyday never a problem. Then one day using gallery mode re springs or whatever you call it. Shuts down chrome or Safari. Using mobile instead of desktop is not a sure fix either as stated on the Craigslist forms. It works until you scroll pictures or go to the next page. Really wish they would fix this.
