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 crashing on my iPad - both Chrome app and Safari browsers

Why is the MN site so temperamental? Confused

OnlyLovers · 18/03/2015 11:22

'threads of the day' seems to be back. The site is very slow still, though. I'll let everyone know when/if HQ reply to me.

Mine's playing up too - I'm using Firefox.

Accessing the site via my phone (active convos usually) is a whole different level of annoying, having to scroll through endless out of date crap before the actual active stuff starts.

chrome on pc and Ipad; Mumsnet is unresponsive and freezes

I have also noticed that when i click on a link contained in a post, when I then close the link all the text disappears from Mumsnet and I have to close it down and reopen

OnlyLovers · 18/03/2015 09:34

I'm finding it v slow to load, too.

And a new problem, today –I can't see 'threads of the day' in the top right corner. It just says 'Mumsnet Talk' as a header as usual, and then 'error'. Is this just me?

CishAndFips · 18/03/2015 09:24

same here browser on tablet will say page has become unresponsive, particullarly on larger threads.

Thisissomething · 18/03/2015 09:06

Same issues here as firecrest. Not happening with other websites.

Thisissomething · 18/03/2015 09:05

Same here as firecrest. Crashing as soon as I click on a link. Started yesterday. Not happening on any other sites.

LMGTFY · 18/03/2015 07:24

MN crashed Internet on my ipad more times than I can remember yesterday, I mentioned it to dh that it was only mn and it had happened loads and then realised I'd just fessed up how much I had been faffing instead of painting!

I pad safari keeps taking me out of MN when click on a thread

Springcleanish · 18/03/2015 07:23

iPad, Safari here too. Same thing, click on a thread and safari crashes. Happening more in last 12 hours, about every other thread now.

PseudoBadger · 18/03/2015 07:23

Chrome on iPhone very slow it's the adverts loading

cardoon · 18/03/2015 07:20

Chrome/laptop combo here.

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 17/03/2015 23:50

It was ok on Chrome on laptop tonight though

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 17/03/2015 23:48

I'm using mobile site on safari on iPhone (iOS 8.1.3) & its been painfully slow for the last couple of days - many times it just freezes when asked to open a thread or to post.

MN homepage & talk homepage both seem ok - just threads

All other sites ok too. It's just YOU!!!

Firecrest · 17/03/2015 19:43

iPad, Safari, MN keeps making safari crash. It happens when I click on a thread. Only MN, no other sites Sad

springalong · 17/03/2015 19:39

mine is IE on a laptop (actually 2 as I am using a loan one as well)

TheSpottedZebra · 17/03/2015 19:30

Yes, chrome on a Samsung tablet. It's still really really slow to load any thread with more than a few hundred messages. It's taking quite a few minutes.

It's safari on my iphone and threads are making it crash. But I'm also having to reload/refresh pages on my desktop computer using Firefox, although these do eventually work.

ProfYaffle · 17/03/2015 15:09

I'm using Chrome on a laptop and have had continual problems for weeks. Slow loading, bad gateways, freezing etc

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 17/03/2015 15:06

Also on Chrome on the tablet, and it's been a PITA, using both the mobile and the desk top site. Got to a point where I just gave up.

I also use Chrome on the laptop, that hasn't been quite as bad.

Hi everyone - could we ask if everyone is using Chrome, except catbite on Firefox? And this is happening on both phones/iphones and laptops?
