um, some of my MN mobile icons have changed into another language, Chinese??

[meglet]

The blue 'active' and 'search" boxes at the bottom of the page and the 'paperclip' icon just under the new message box just changed to a different language . I'm vaguely familiar with Chinese symbols, but I'm not sure if it was that or not. It's ok now, not sure what happened. And no, I haven't had anything to drink.

Unless it was Korean and Kim Jong-Un is now hacking into MN .

Iphone?

I get this quite often. Will be interested in the explanation now.

Blackberry.

It won't be so funny when we're all wearing regulation blue suits and hailing the Dear Leader luis .

[LuisSuarezTeeth]

Don't forget the regulation haircuts. Did it sort itself out?

[RebeccaMumsnet]

Oooo how strange. What device and browser are you using?

We will ask Tech what's happening...?

[SwedishEdith]

Mine's Sony Xperia, Chrome, Android

[SwedishEdith]

Any clues yet?

[insancerre]

I got this yesterday
It was very weird
The font also went really big for a while
I'm using an android phone

[RowanMumsnet]

Erk. Thanks for flagging - we'll see if Tech can let us know what might be behind it.

Can we confirm you're using the mobile site (NOT the app?)

[SwedishEdith]

Yep, the mobile site. Not happened for a while now (weeks/months?) but used to happen all the time - after all the messing about with it. Used to just hang for ages (still does that, of course!) and then the icons would appear as Chinese symbols for a good few seconds before changing.
