MN making safari crash?

620 replies

DishwasherDogs · 17/03/2015 10:27

Every time I have been on Mn this morning it keeps crashing safari.
It doesn't do it on any other website.
I'm using an iPad.
Any ideas what's going on or how I can fix it?

Worse than ever today and I am on 8.3

RickOShay · 13/05/2015 13:25

So frustrating.

FreshsatsumaforDd · 12/05/2015 19:15

Another frustrated mumsnet iPad user. Worse than ever tonight. No problems on any other site.

EcclefechanTart · 12/05/2015 00:28

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh

mummylin2495 · 11/05/2015 20:27

It isn't just the threads crashing, it happens a lot when I try to post something as well, it has happened on other sites but very rarely and MN is definitely the worst. This has now been going on since March.

FurFoxAke · 11/05/2015 20:15

I'm glad it's not just me, I thought it might be Grin
Another iPad/Safari user and it crashes all the time. I have stayed away from MN because it is virtually unusable.

This is just getting worse and worse. MN is nearly unusable. Any updates Tech ?

MissDemelzaCarne · 11/05/2015 19:58

24 hours from following Tech's advice and updating, it's as bad as ever, but on this site only.

MissDemelzaCarne · 10/05/2015 19:18

So I updated to iOS 8.3 clicked on an MN thread, all excited, and it blanked out immediatly! Angry

ThatIsNachoCheese · 09/05/2015 21:10

Are you sure it's just IOS? I'm on android and it seems to take ages to load and sometimes crashes.

bluebump · 09/05/2015 21:02

I'm still having the same problem, I'm only posting today because i'm on the laptop rather than my iPad. It's odd, it crashes continuously and sometimes takes 3 attempts to get from a thread back to active conversations. Very frustrating. The week before last was much better, it hardly crashed at all.

It did crash when I was on another site the other day for the first time but I can't remember now which site that was. I'll make a note if it happens again.

Maverick66 · 09/05/2015 20:37

Using my ipad and it is continually crashing when I'm on mumsnet. No issues with any other site or with Face book. It is MIGHTY annoying!

Selks · 08/05/2015 19:26

EcclefechanTart, I'm finding ios 8.3 fine all round so far, no problems at all. I haven't typed any documents though. I think the earlier versions of ios 8 were very buggy and full of issues but this version seems ok.

MissSingerbrains · 08/05/2015 15:21

It's been totally unusable for me for about a week now, the page just keeps reloading every few seconds! I'm using Safari on iPhone and don't have this problem with any other site :(

Miss60 · 07/05/2015 14:57

MN is almost unusable for me. I love this forum so much, I grit my teeth and plow on..but it is becoming unendurable.

TreesPleaseLouise · 07/05/2015 14:51

another safari Ipad user here; crashes constantly and has done for weeks

applecatchers36 · 07/05/2015 14:50

Again crashing lots again today & has been for last few weeks, using an iPad

mummylin2495 · 07/05/2015 14:48

It is awful for me today, was trying to get on threads in the " last 15 mins " section and tried several times?no success at all. Just right back to my screen.

EcclefechanTart · 07/05/2015 12:42

Selks, how is iOS 8.3 more generally though? I do a lot of typing (on Pages) on ipad, and I've heard that you can't type properly on iOS8 because it keeps freezing. Much as I hate the MN crashes, my ipad would be useless to me if I couldn't type documents.

Selks · 05/05/2015 19:27

I've upgraded from ios 7 to ios 8.3 and so far so good, no more crashes.

The page loading is a bit annoying though - kind of flicks back to the previous page then back to the correct one, but that's nowhere near as annoying as the crashing.

Thank you for the continued feedback. As mentioned before, we have filed 2 bug reports with Apple regarding the crashing. We've also found that a particular element on the page from Comscore sometimes uses a lot of resources which may trigger the crash more often than normal. Comscore engineers are working to resolve this and I'll post again when we've heard back from them, although this may not be a 100% fix as the real problem lies in iOS. Thanks for your patience.

Moltenpink · 04/05/2015 23:20

Arghhhhhh

EddieVeddersfoxymop · 03/05/2015 16:35

Another one finding it impossible to mn today!

Sossidge · 03/05/2015 14:04

Another one here, on an iPad mini, who's finding this website unusable. Very amateurish, it's like using a computer in 1999, with dodgy html version appearing with the image of a woman with pigtails puffing out her cheeks

Woopsiedaisy · 03/05/2015 14:02

Crashing absolutely dreadful today. Has been getting worse all week and I have totally given up trying to log in during the evening.

Surely you have some idea what is wrong MN. Please keep us updated (preferably on the log in page as it takes numerous attempts to get this far) as to what you are trying to do to fix this. Otherwise we will just assume you are not interested and will stop trying to use the site !!
