YetAnotherHelen you definitely have trouble getting to the actual bits which dole out the site. A site this big will have multiple instances (server farm) and failovers, which are, well, failing to swap over. It's probably not even your tech per se, but whatever cloud infrastructure you're hosted on.

I've had a peek under the skirts (not today though) and I've got to say I'm surprised you're still on that platform, to be frank, I bet they're cheap, and loyalty's good and all, but they don't seem to be able to handle it. Or are you moving, and that's the trouble, the cups have arrived, but no-one can find the kettle?

Also a bit slow, please feed the hamster and oil his wheel.

Is this all an evil plot by the Techs to wangle (steady there, auto-correct!) a shed upgrade?

slithytove · 05/08/2014 22:36

Ipad on safari. Been about a week, loads tonight.

I've been cursing sky Grin need to visit other websites on occasion

It totally is, there is no denying it. We are very sorry, we are passing all of your comments onto the techs, who are in the process of fixing it.

wigglesrock · 05/08/2014 22:32

Yup cosietoes, hasn't happened to me on any other site either. MN is always a bit hit and miss.

Oh I'm back on the app now on the iPad. The Kindle Fire gave me 10 mins and then gatewayed.

CiderwithBuda · 05/08/2014 22:31

It's bloody annoying whatever it is!

YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 05/08/2014 22:31

Norty?

Fairenuff · 05/08/2014 22:30

How about sending Gateway to the naughty step to think about what it's done.

tribpot · 05/08/2014 22:29

Agreed, cozie.

Mondaybaby · 05/08/2014 22:29

Bad Gateway" sounds very harsh though....
How about "Naughty Gateway"?

You think we have an unexpected item in our bagging area, Kleptronic?

cozietoesie · 05/08/2014 22:27

There's more to the Tech issues than this, though - irritating though it undoubtedly is. I've noticed over recent months that I never (with one notable exception and I'm going to go head to head with them next week) have any troubles getting on to the big commercial sites, whatever device or OS I'm using. Mumsnet is, I'm afraid, a 'maybe I will and maybe I won't but if I do, it might not be for that long'.

(I'd have posted this 10 minutes ago if I hadn't been kicked off the site and then Gatewayed twice again before I could get back on.)

Oblique27 · 05/08/2014 22:13

Glad I found this, thought it was me, the atmosphere, BT, son downloading something.....now I know it is YOUR FAULT Angry, get it sorted (please) don't believe a word from the techies, you need a larger hamster or whatever drives your server.....

Kleptronic · 05/08/2014 22:11

Let me guess, someone's upgraded the firewall/moved some VMs/fiddled with the network somewhere and there's unexpected contention in the bagging area. Bloody net ops, they break it every time.

Happens in our place whenever they upgrade something, so you're not alone MNHQ, don't feel too bad. :)

Fluffycloudland77 · 05/08/2014 22:08

Hurry up, I'm going to have to talk to dh if this carries on.

YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 05/08/2014 22:01

So very sorry. It's so irritating. Fingers crossed they'll sort it asap.

Thelongdarkteatime · 05/08/2014 21:58

Repeatedly getting this tonight and have lost a few posts. On safari.

wigglesrock · 05/08/2014 21:57

Awful tonight - app is completely down and I can't access MN at all on iPad or on my HTC phone. I'm actually on Silk on Kindle Fire now.

cozietoesie · 05/08/2014 21:56

Just had it twice - again.

You needing more server capacity, Tech?

ElephantsNeverForgive · 05/08/2014 21:55

Here too, just once. Safari on a iPhone 4s

Fairenuff · 05/08/2014 21:51

Everything else us running fine on my laptop.

Sorry tech, it's not me, it's you...

MyCatIsAStupidBastard · 05/08/2014 21:47

Thought it was just me. Been since last week.

Happening lots tonight. Am having to converse with DH instead. If you don't fix it soon he might be after a treat, if you get my meaning!!

tribpot · 05/08/2014 21:47

Dreadful here, no connection at all from the laptop

Tipsykisses · 05/08/2014 21:42

Having problems the same problem on iPhone and the MN app is playing up also ...
