Mumsnet Talk

I come on to Mumsnet, look at a couple of pages, then click to another (no particular page) and it takes an AGE to load.

I don't think it's my computer exactly - if I click onto, say the BBC it loads immediately, then back to Mumsnet and it's slow again. If I try and try eventually it will load at normal speed and I get a couple of normal speed page changes till it does it again.

Could it be a new advert? Has anyone else had this?

Mine's the same, I was hoping it was MN and a nasty hadn't sneaked on to my computer somehow.

I have this too, but I access from an Android device not a computer. It's really annoying! Especially during night feeds

I was getting this last night on the App too.

Thought it was the 'e-on' banner causing me issues! (When I tried to go to MN from google the ad appeared on the google page with the google stuff still there & it took ages to load the MN home page) It seemed to work a bit better initially when the e-on banner wasn't there but now it's doing it all the time while I am trying to navigate the site!

No, it's still happening occasionally. But at least it's only occasionally now!

It's still happening to me about every three pages.

On the upside . . . my piano teacher will be pleased with me. When it happens I do a little bit of practice . . . there is enough time to play a short piece before the page loads.

Same here......rubbish....took ages to get here to see if anyone else was having problems.

Above message took ages to post too.....it's like being back in the days of a dial up connection.....only this site

it was happening more this morning, and periodically now too

and yes, only MN is affected for me too

yup, took almost 20 seconds for message to post

Same here, stick another 50p in the meter MNHQ or feed the poor hamsters!

Yes it's peculiar. I try to move pages on MN, and while I am waiting open another window in the browser, read a couple of articles on the BBC at perfectly normal speed then go back to MN when the page has condescended to load.

I've had this all day on Mumsnet today.

Pages taking forever to load, but no problems on any other site.

I thought it was my computer, glad to hear it's not!

It's been doing it to me just now. I thought it was a sign to switch off and go and rattle the pots and pans in the kitchen and get dinner on.....

any sign on the reason behind this?

it's getting really annoying now

i think there's an ad causing slow loading, not sure which one

Happening here too - just tried to get back to active convos from this thread and it was 20s + so I came back here. Its been happening for over a day and doesn't affect other sites.

an ad, that makes sense as the problem is sporadic

It's very slow - seems to get faster if I close Firefox and then restart Firefox.

I have Adblock - none of those pesky ads on my computer.

i use google chrome for MN as firefox was giving me probs a while back

have closed firefox and will monitor the situation closely slowly

nope, took me over 2 mins to get back to this page
