Anyone else always click on wrong thread?

[SomedayMyPrinceWillCome]

Just that really.
I'm using the MN app & I often click on a thread to read & something completely different opens up. Is it just me with fat fingers or do other users have the same problem?

[BeccaMumsnet]

Hi Someday - will just bump this for you to see if any other users are having this issue. Thanks for posting.

[SomedayMyPrinceWillCome]

Just me with fat fingers huh?

[SayrraT]

No, it happens to me too.

[Underdogsbollocks]

Happens to me to, I thought it was fat fingers at first but convinced it is the app at fault now. Also when I'm on a thread where someone has posted a link the links always seem to open when I have touched nowhere near them.

[Stinkyfeet]

Yep, and it's always a really long thread that takes ages to load before I can click back out of it.

[LizKeen]

This happens to me on the mobile site.

Links are also impossible to select on the mobile site. I thought it was just my mobile, as it is a bit shit, but then I realised that I can select links easily on other sites. It is just MN that makes me want to throw the phone really hard against the wall.

Samsung Galaxy Fame, in case it matters.

[Crankycunt]

Yup me too, I think it's my phone though, where the page hasn't loaded properly you think you're clicking on one thread but it's actually another.

[poorbuthappy]

Yep. Me too.

[MockTheWeek]

Yes it happens to me but I always assumed it was my fault. It can get very confusing when the content is completely unrelated to the topic I thought I was reading!

[Groovee]

Happens to me too X

[LizKeen]

I thought the same as Cranky so I started waiting until the page was completely loaded, and it still happens.

[DawnMumsnet]

Hi, thanks for letting us know. Sounds like this is a problem for some of you on the mobile site as well as the app, then.

MocktheWeek, poorbuthappy, Groovee, LizKeen and anyone else we've missed - can you let us know if you're using the app or the mobile site? Any details gratefully received so our Tech team can investigate.

Many thanks.

Heh I thought it was just me and yes it's always a really long one I have no interest in.

It's not a problem, just irritating. Mobile site. I just assumed some ads take a while to load and the screen jumps slightly.

[LizKeen]

Well I already put that info. But I will write it again.

Mobile site using a Samsung Galaxy Fame.

[MockTheWeek]

I use the app on iPhone.

[VulcanWoman]

Yeah, happens to me, it's when my tablets playing up, on a go slow.

[Perfectlypurple]

Yep, happens to me too. I just figured it was me. Only happ now on app on phone.

[emotionsecho]

Happens to me when using the mobile site on Samsung Tablet, Google Chrome.

Wait ages for 'Most Active' page to load and then click on the thread I want to read only for it to load a thread either three above or three below the one I want.

I thought it was just another of those mobile site quirks of which there seem to be rather a lot.

[BishopBrennansArse]

Yes when using the app

[Groovee]

Using the app on my phone and iPad and it does it on both X

[Hopelass]

Me too on iPhone app. Thought it was just me!!

[Deedeecupcake]

This happens to me on the iPhone app, genuinely thought my fingers were just too fat to use the app

[voodoolooloo]

I use the iPad app. It happens to me lots, thought it was my fat fingers. Also, if I click on a link, then click to go back to mumsnet (via the provided link) it takes me back to the main active convo list.
I'm using the app, happens on iPhone and iPad.

[ENtertainmentAppreciated]

Me on the mobile site. I know it's not fat fingers because the thread it navigates to isn't even in the vicinity of the one I click on. It happens a lot.
