Why does MN keep freezing?

59 replies

educatingarti · 16/03/2015 13:08

I'm accessing MN from a laptop using Chrome browser. For the last couple of days MN is being very slow to upload threads with lots of messages and keeps freezing after I've clicked on a few threads (no response to any mouse clicks except to close the page). I've guessed that MN have been spying on how much I've been time wasting when I should be working on the boards and have decided to help me by freezing things after so many minutes but please - how do I stop this! I need to feed my MN addiction!

It's not freezing for me, but it takes AGES to load a new page.

Froze again for me this morning. (I imposed a MN ban on myself yesterday in an attempt to Get Things Done so it was probably fine then!)

For what it's worth MNHQ, it started around the same time that the Storymakers.com advert started appearing, and the annoying purple "web chat" banners.

Firefox for me, (fully upto date version) and MN is freezing after a few minutes browsing, been going on for about three weeks. :(

Updated everything, removed everything - you name it I've done it, but it just starts doing it again after a few minutes - script error and Flash crash are the most common messages for me.

Happening to me to when using internet explorer on laptop with full site...

Dear Tech Guys,

This is driving me NUTS! Mumsnet keeps freezing ;-( Please Please sort it out. I am using Safari on Ipad.

I still can't get on using Firefox & get the "not redirecting properly" message.

Am currently using Opera.

Something odd though, can't post on the Poldark thread in telly addicts!

Have to log out & then in!!

Just checked - my browser is up to date. Have only had one instance of total freeze in the last few days but long threads are still taking quite a while to load ( and they never used to!)

Hi everyone - we're so sorry this is still happening.

Tech have suggested updating your browser (e.g. Safari/Chrome, not iOS), but other than that, they are still looking into this issue.

Please do let us know if it seems to be getting worse/better.

Thanks so much for your patience Cake

on IPAD using IS07

still happening with me; logs me off every other page I click on and takes me out of mumsnet completely. Very annoying!

BlueEyeshadow · 20/03/2015 22:34

I've been getting issues with flash crashing and an error message about stop, cancel or debug scripts.

I'm using Firefox on the desktop site. I ended up updating Flash in frustration, but as soon as I came back onto MN it started again. Not totally sure if it's a MN issue or a Flash one.

Also getting certain posts on threads not loading properly when I click through from Threads I'm On. Just get a blank screen with the headings at the top.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 20/03/2015 15:30

Ah good - I was just going to come and complain - it started happening again on my laptop, Chrome, Windows 7 (MN Classic) and I got so frustrated I just closed the MN tab down.

Hi everyone - we're so sorry this is still happening.

We'll get back to Tech and let them know.

Still happening earlier this morning to me too!

Yes the longer threads are still doing it on the iphone (safari) and some need a couple of loads on the desktop/firefox.

ProfYaffle · 19/03/2015 15:42

Still happening for me too (Chrome on laptop) When I click on Threads I'm On or Threads I'm Watching, if I then try to click through to an individual thread everything freezes.

Rosa · 19/03/2015 14:43

Its still happening Ipad / safari... When you click on a thread it takes you out of MN back to home screen.... Or is it just me????

Hi everyone - Tech have sorted a fix for this so it should be back to normal soon. We're sorry this has taken a little while, and thanks so much for your patience.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 18/03/2015 15:51

I cannot actually use safari at all on my ipad so I've been using puffin, which quite frankly is not a very good browser.

CheeseandPickledOnion · 18/03/2015 15:46

Firefox and I get the long running script error all the time.

Hi everyone - sorry we've taken a little while to get back to you all.

We have flagged these issues to Tech and they are looking into it now.

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 18/03/2015 14:59

I'm using Firefox, and have a problem with scripts failing to load which makes the page hang.

PurpleFrog · 18/03/2015 14:35

Me too - Safari on iPad and Macbook Pro - almost unusable. It doesn't help that many of the threads I am following are long ones.
