Mobile site not working properly

(155 Posts)

Right my mobile site has gone all weird, everything (threads I'm on, watched etc) are listed on the left, no buttons anywhere, just lists!

:: narrows eyes ::

So who's messed with my mobile site?!

PseudoBadger Tue 18-Dec-12 17:05:37

It's a ploy to get us to use the App I reckon...

I don't like the app

:: stamps feet and pouts ::

singingmum Tue 18-Dec-12 17:08:44

Do I have an app as I have a blackberry? Am confused and hate the whole to the left thing

I think they made an app for blackberry

I'm just set in my ways and like my mobile site, when it's not all 'to the left' hmm

SheilaWheeler Tue 18-Dec-12 17:11:22

Help, this is truely awful!

SheilaWheeler Tue 18-Dec-12 17:11:45

Oops - or even TRULY

cocolepew Tue 18-Dec-12 17:12:14

I've had to come on the desktop site. I don't like it , or the app

Fix it pleeeeeeease.

MerryChristMoose Tue 18-Dec-12 17:13:22

Shocking isn't it! Come on MNHQ, sort it out ... (Please and Thank You)

At least it's not just me MNHQ are screwing with.

Maybe if we shout loud enough tech might fix it!

Dillydollydaydream Tue 18-Dec-12 17:14:21

Mines all broke too sad

somuchslimmernow Tue 18-Dec-12 17:15:29

Aah thats a relief, thought it was my tablet.

It does not make for easy '1 handed while bf baby' MNing, that's for sure! sad

I started another thread on this smile really hate it!its awful please please can we have the old one back!!! Pretty please with a cherry on top!

caffeine I did look round for another thread but couldn't find anything on this bloody list! Arggggh!

Well two threads r better than one cringe do u think they will read this? smile

Does it work better if we report our own comments or something?

Oo worth a try, let's do that!

Done smile

DoodleHolly Tue 18-Dec-12 17:34:03

Mobile site not working for me on my iPhone either

HappyHippyChick Tue 18-Dec-12 17:34:27

This is awful, I might have to go and parent my kids if it doesn't go back to normal soon...

SizzleSazz Tue 18-Dec-12 17:34:53

Oh no, mine is kaput too. I had been recommending it to everyone who was peed off with the app sad. Now i look like a tool angry

<Joins wailing>

CarpeJugulum Tue 18-Dec-12 17:39:38

<links arms with everyone else and orchestrates wailing into Christmas style Gangnam thingy>

This is horrible! Please sort it!

I've reported my post with lots of 'pleeeease fix this' so hopefully MNHQ will listen.

This is pants!

karmabeliever Tue 18-Dec-12 17:48:40

I downloaded the app, but then the original mobile sit disappeared. I wanted both!

App has potential, but my posts and that of the OP are not highlighted, I don't think i can bookmark and 'threads I'm on' just lists the thread titles rather than showing me the first line of each of the latest posts.

And it keeps flashing thread titles.

humph.

the spp id brtter thsn the lidts but not much do.

[gin]blush envy angry shock wink grin wink sad grin smile

i do like the easy app smilies though.

JollyOldChristmas Tue 18-Dec-12 17:52:29

Help!!!

Taggie I agree that there should be wine

I do not like the app! I want previews of posts on my 'threads I'm on' and I want the op and my posts highlighted!

TeamBacon Tue 18-Dec-12 17:57:37

Argh what is going on?

I'm having problems and I get confused with the app grin

TeamBacon Tue 18-Dec-12 18:02:20

APipkinOfPepper Tue 18-Dec-12 18:03:15

Not just me then - mine's gone odd too!

LittleTownofBethleHelenMumsnet (MNHQ) Tue 18-Dec-12 18:06:19

Thank u smile

HorraceTheChristmasOtter Tue 18-Dec-12 18:13:03

Thank god they're trying to fix it! Bloody awful, shall have to leave until it is, I can't deal with this or the app sad.

HappyHippyChick Tue 18-Dec-12 18:13:36

TeamBacon Tue 18-Dec-12 18:14:36

SheilaWheeler Tue 18-Dec-12 18:23:04

Oh, thankyou! So much better!

TeeElfOnTeeShelf Tue 18-Dec-12 18:24:38

It wasn't a redesign. It was what a website looks like when there's an error loading the CSS file.

What was truly odd was that the links didn't even work. hmm

::geeky Tee is geeky::

Thank you!!!

SouthernComforts Tue 18-Dec-12 18:30:41

Mines broken too sad

Mine still isn't right. Now it looks line it should but most of the screen is blank and I have to scroll for ages to see any text. It's like the top half if threads are missing. Anyone else having the same problem?

Scratch that. Looks fine now. Phew!

IceTheChristmasKateMumsnet (MNHQ) Thu 20-Dec-12 16:41:52

<tentative thumbs up>

TeamBacon Fri 21-Dec-12 15:53:50

It's gone bonkers again!

Yup. Mine's gone wonky too. Is this the beginning of the end??

Apocalypse strikes sad

ItsAllGoingToBeFine Fri 21-Dec-12 16:13:10

So glad it's not just me! Please fix <weeps>

LittleTownofBethleHelenMumsnet (MNHQ) Fri 21-Dec-12 16:15:12

Oh dear. We'll have a look...

I have reported my post lets hope MNHQ get right on it. Hate this blooming app! For a start it gives me no indication of wether I've already read a thread. So I end up wasting my own time! because I have a shit memory and forget thread titles easily

Oh thank you helen

Gumby Fri 21-Dec-12 16:16:29

Please fix it sooon
I'm trying to chill on here before the madness begins & it's making me cross!

ItsAllGoingToBeFine Fri 21-Dec-12 16:16:48

Mine is weird too. Looks like loading failed a second before the end. Please fix it... I deleted the app as I didn't pike it ans I was running low on space!

Eglantyne Fri 21-Dec-12 16:31:30

Spoke too soon. It doesn't fit on my screen anymore.

Mine's gone again confused

usualsuspect3 Fri 21-Dec-12 16:36:46

Mines ok sometimes and all weird other times.

Same here, please fix it smile

TeamBacon Fri 21-Dec-12 16:41:47

Was fine for a few mins, but Its gone again.

Gumby Fri 21-Dec-12 16:42:48

Bollocks sad

LittleTownofBethleHelenMumsnet (MNHQ) Fri 21-Dec-12 16:43:17

Better now?

Gumby Fri 21-Dec-12 16:44:03

flowers

Do not do it again grin

TeamBacon Fri 21-Dec-12 16:45:07

Why does it keep happening?

Mine still isn't autofitting...

Tech (MNHQ) Fri 21-Dec-12 16:46:58

SORRY. It's all my fault. The minification destination is getting transmogrified.

LadyMetroland Fri 21-Dec-12 16:47:45

Aarrgh - everything is too wide for the screen!

Is it being fixed?

TeamBacon Fri 21-Dec-12 16:48:37

Whut? confused

*Tech Fri 21-Dec-12 16:46:58
SORRY. It's all my fault. The minification destination is getting transmogrified.*

um.........what?! grin

Tech (MNHQ) Fri 21-Dec-12 16:49:26

Should be alright now though, no?

Mines working! smile

Eglantyne Fri 21-Dec-12 17:16:53

Er, no. Have you tried turning it off and then on again? :p

Mines still broken. Everything is too wide for the sscreen sad

waxlyrical Fri 21-Dec-12 20:43:08

Not working at all for me either too wide for screen. Tried to alter settings on phone but keeps reverting. Pleease sort it out mnhq or can feel a flounce coming on!

ILikeWhisperingToo Fri 21-Dec-12 20:50:33

wow this is mind bending, page loads ok then goes larger than my screen - click on any link and it does the same.

Very annoying, is this buggered for the weekend on then? Or worse still,until after Christmas shock I'll have to interact with family and everything!

TeamBacon Fri 21-Dec-12 20:51:21

Working for me. (on android if that makes any difference.)

OliviaPeaceOnMumsnet (MNHQ) Fri 21-Dec-12 20:54:19

Let's see if we can find anythign more out
Sorry about this.

FiveFestiveFlowers Fri 21-Dec-12 21:00:32

wow this is mind bending, page loads ok then goes larger than my screen - click on any link and it does the same.

Mine too, was ok earlier today confused.

Installed Opera Mobile and it works fine now.

GroupieGirl Fri 21-Dec-12 23:36:06

Mine's still too wide!

TiredofZombies Fri 21-Dec-12 23:44:26

Mine is weird too. The text of all the posts fits on the screen but everything else is too big, I have to scroll across for the next page button.

ILikeWhisperingToo Sat 22-Dec-12 00:54:44

Still messed up on mine

5madthings Sat 22-Dec-12 01:00:12

Its screwed up.for me as well. Starts off ok and then the page gets too wide and i have to scroll over orr i just get a long list and its all.odd. Very annoyimg!

BigGiantCowWithAKnockKnockTail Sat 22-Dec-12 07:59:40

I'm having to scroll across too sad

Imflabulous Sat 22-Dec-12 08:11:25

Me too, I either scroll across or it jumps back to normal.....then back again.

ILikeWhisperingToo Sat 22-Dec-12 09:42:40

Have tried fixing it from my end turned my phone off and on again but still doing it this morning. Im on an older phone using Android, if it helps.

Tech (MNHQ) Sat 22-Dec-12 10:50:33

Hi, it seems to be OK for me. Is there any way you could take a screen shot when it's looking weird, and email it to tech at mumsnet.cpom? Thanks

TiredofZombies Sat 22-Dec-12 10:57:37

Also, when I go to threads I'm watching, and click on the title of a thread, nothing happens. Will try and do a screen shot now.

wem Sat 22-Dec-12 11:29:10

I'm having the same problem on an android phone. I've sent a screenshot of active convos, let me know if you need a different view.

Startail Sat 22-Dec-12 11:47:51

Tried to scroll down topics and got fun and games and it froze and crashed my kindle fire.
Very annoying

Tech (MNHQ) Sat 22-Dec-12 13:00:14

Thanks for the screenshots. We just made a small change - is it any better now?

5madthings Sat 22-Dec-12 13:01:09

No!

JollyOldChristmas Sat 22-Dec-12 13:12:32

Seems to be working fine all today on my android phone.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine Sat 22-Dec-12 13:12:42

Just to add to the mix, is fine on my android tablet (4.2.1) and I'm pretty sure is fine on my phone as well (same version)

ILikeWhisperingToo Sat 22-Dec-12 13:33:01

I can't figure screen shots from my phone
Still the same here.

Tech (MNHQ) Sat 22-Dec-12 13:41:48

When it looks too wide for the screen, is there a picture like an ad or anything that seems to be filling the full width? Can you scroll around and see something that looks like it's making the page get fatter to fit it in iyswim...

JollyOldChristmas Sat 22-Dec-12 13:51:02

Actually tech, mine is working fine, but the ad at the top is not loading properly, just the top left hand corner of it.

And if I click on where the rest of the ad should be it looks like the ad pic should be bigger than my.screen.

I can't screen shot and upload as my phone saves screenshots in the wrong format.

5madthings Sat 22-Dec-12 13:55:46

I have gltc at the top and the add seems fine?

As the page loads it starts off the right size and then as it finishes loading it changes to a format that is too wide.

It is the mobile version, not yhe app. I have the bit to click if i want desktop etc and the page looks as it should just too wide!

YeahThatsTheBadger Sat 22-Dec-12 13:59:04

The ad at the bottom is the right width but the one at the top stays in the middle-the width of "mumsnet" and logo.
The text in the posts is the right width but the next, previous, first and last buttons are spread out, aware the top, reply, report and bookmarks buttons.

wem Sat 22-Dec-12 14:57:14

The only thing on the page which seems to 'fit' are the sticky boxes at the top of active convos and the Top, Reply, Report and Bookmark boxes when you're on a thread.

waxlyrical Sat 22-Dec-12 15:50:18

Mine is still not right - I have a basic android phone if that helps.

waxlyrical Sat 22-Dec-12 15:54:16

Its android 2.3.5 might be more helpful. Now where is the post button!

JollyOldChristmas Sat 22-Dec-12 16:50:06

I think it is the placeholder for the ad at the top of the page that is messing things up.

TiredofZombies Sat 22-Dec-12 20:29:46

Just checked, still not right here either. Can't see anything taking up the full width of the screen.

Theres nothing taking up the whole screen on mine.

Its really annoying sad

5madthings Sat 22-Dec-12 21:04:04

My add at the botyom.is the right size. The top if ybe page is also fine, its the 'im on' active etc where it gets too wide for the page. Its really annoying!

LadyMetroland Sat 22-Dec-12 22:52:37

Bump. Not been on for a day or two and autofit is STILL not working? Is everyone on holiday?

LadyMetroland Sat 22-Dec-12 22:55:59

Been like this for a few days, why not fixed yet?

Shakey1500 Sat 22-Dec-12 23:03:47

Now I'm not one for complaining that anything is too wide wink but....

Yes, tis annoying.

I don't know what style my phone is but it's black. HTH grin

TiredofZombies Sat 22-Dec-12 23:27:41

Ooh, mine's black too. You could be onto something, Shakey!

upinthehills Sun 23-Dec-12 07:28:54

Hi i'm on a samsung galaxy, so android and been having the problem for a few days.
The first second of the mobile site is fine then it jumps to too wide in portrait mode - just about usable if i turn phone to landscape.
I have noticed the url at the top doesnt have the .m bit anymore http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk even though my bookmark is for the mobile site. Even did a google search and clicked through to the mobile site in case it was the bookmark link broken at my end - it's not.

Hesterton Sun 23-Dec-12 07:32:24

Mine is too wide as well, driving me bonkers.

5madthings Sun 23-Dec-12 09:11:13

Samsung galaxy here as well and yes the page stsrts to load fine and then goes too wide. My bookmark/shortcut brings me straight to discussions page and i have tried going through google etc and logging out and then in again but nothing is helping....wail!!!

TricksyLaBOOshh Sun 23-Dec-12 09:35:02

On an Android here, too, and having the same problems with with lack of autofit.

Tech (MNHQ) Sun 23-Dec-12 12:54:46

Hi, For those who are having problems, a few questions.

1) Does it happen all the time, or only sometimes.
2) If it's only sometimes, is it particular pages. In the screenshots I've seen it seems to be mainly on threads I'm on / watching and other searches
3) If it's only sometimes could you make a note of which ads are showing when it happens, and post here and let us know.

We think the problem might be related to a particular ad, but we're not sure yet whether that's right, or which one if so.

Thanks very much for your help, and thanks for bearing with us.

IvanaNapAfterChristmasDinner Sun 23-Dec-12 13:00:26

All. The. Time.

AnAirOfHopeInAManger Sun 23-Dec-12 13:02:35

All the time.

Tech (MNHQ) Sun 23-Dec-12 13:02:58

Hi Ivana, are you on an Andriod device too?

IvanaNapAfterChristmasDinner Sun 23-Dec-12 13:04:44

A samsung galaxy (y?) weirdly enough (others upthread mentioned it too!)

AnAirOfHopeInAManger Sun 23-Dec-12 13:04:49

On different threads and threads im on and active threads.

Its the same for the whole website.

IvanaNapAfterChristmasDinner Sun 23-Dec-12 13:05:38

And Hi blush the stress of having to do sideways scrolling has got to me!
(on mac at present for a breather btw!)

AnAirOfHopeInAManger Sun 23-Dec-12 13:05:42

Yes on android.

Tech (MNHQ) Sun 23-Dec-12 13:23:30

Hi, we just did another update that may have made a difference. Please let us know if so / not. Otherwise looks like I'm off the the shops for an android.....

AnAirOfHopeInAManger Sun 23-Dec-12 13:35:40

still happening

AnAirOfHopeInAManger Sun 23-Dec-12 13:37:04

Its working now yay thank you thanks

IvanaNapAfterChristmasDinner Sun 23-Dec-12 13:53:18

Praise Be! All hail Tech!

GroupieGirl Sun 23-Dec-12 13:59:29

Huzzah!

Thank you smile

5madthings Sun 23-Dec-12 14:33:25

Yay its fixed!!!

It was just happening all the time tho.

waxlyrical Sun 23-Dec-12 16:46:03

Christmas saved - welcome back sneaky "just checking for urgent work email" mobile MN:-)

upinthehills Thu 03-Jan-13 08:51:04

It's done it again. Android here.

BrokenBananaTantrum Thu 03-Jan-13 08:54:55

Mine isn't working either this morning. All wide so I can't read properly. Thought it might be just me but glad it isn't. Can you help MNHQ?

Gone wide on mine aswell this morning. I'm using the galaxy note.

FruOla Thu 03-Jan-13 09:04:16

Something weird happened to me this morning as well. But I'm on a PC using Firefox. When I first clicked on my bookmark for the MN Talk home page, what I got was what looked like a mobile page. Once I'd got into _Chat, it then turned back to normal, so it's all OK now but .... confused

TricksyLaBOOshh Thu 03-Jan-13 09:10:56

Me too, although it seemed ok until about 20 minutes ago.

BabysPointlessPocket Thu 03-Jan-13 09:29:19

Mine is too wide this morning on android.

Also, not sure if its just a problem with my phone but when I'm browsing active convos, I scroll down but it keeps jumping back up to the top of the page (but doesn't when I go on other sites)
I'm not techy in the slightest, so don't know why It's doing this.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine Thu 03-Jan-13 09:48:22

Mine is fine on both tablet and phone, Android 4.2.1

ILikeWhisperingToo Thu 03-Jan-13 10:44:07

It's doing it again hmm
Too wide for screen, as before.

YeahThatsTheBadger Thu 03-Jan-13 12:45:22

Yep, same here.

ILikeWhisperingToo Thu 03-Jan-13 13:23:13

Have just reported this thread (well, the most recent post on it) as I am thinking tech / HQ might not spot us on this "old" thread?

IceTheChristmasKateMumsnet (MNHQ) Thu 03-Jan-13 16:16:00

Hi guys,

Sorry this is happening again. Reading this thread is like Groundhog Day. We'll get tech onto it.

BrokenBananaTantrum Thu 03-Jan-13 18:31:55

Thanks

ILikeWhisperingToo Fri 04-Jan-13 13:20:20
