I've just realised that I can't see the https at the top of the screen. Instead there's a globe or the Mumsnet logo and www.mumsnet.com.

I can see the https on other sites I use, so now I'm worried because it's not there.

I'm on my laptop using Safari.

Hey all, just to make sure everyone sees this: Justine has posted over here to say that we're taking down our app, effective immediately. I've pasted what she says below, but better to post app-y questions on the other thread, to keep all responses in one place.

Afternoon all,

In the wake of the recent hacking and DDoS attacks, we've been considering the security of the entry points to Mumsnet. Because the current Talk app uses http, rather than https we can't guarantee that it is 100% secure, so we've taken it offline.

We've been developing a new ios app using https for a while and we'll be launching it in a few weeks' time; obviously we'll let you know as soon as it's out. We hope to follow it up with an Android app in due course. In the meantime, though, we'd suggest app users move over to our mobile site. Sorry for the inconvenience; hope to see you on the new one very soon.

Thanks,
MNHQ Flowers

I sure hope he's watching these threads.
considers giving him ex's email

TiredButFineODFOJ · 27/08/2015 14:08

Of course. Jeffrey's been watching the threads for some time. He likes winding the Police up a lot as well. Must have run out of anime to watch.

LurkingHusband · 27/08/2015 13:59

I see this thread is being watched ...

LineyReborn · 27/08/2015 13:42

I get Argos ads. I am that classy.

CantSee4Looking · 27/08/2015 13:38

The ads have been banished Grin

KitKat1985 · 27/08/2015 13:27

Meerkats? Have you guys wandered onto a pseudo-comparison website by accident?

Lweji · 27/08/2015 13:08

:)
That would be even more worrying.

CantSee4Looking · 27/08/2015 13:02

Maybe you have been getting my ads? I have been looking for a microscope for ds me for christmas

Lweji · 27/08/2015 12:45

I was earlier getting an add for a lab supplier. Wonders if that had to do with Jeff... is he on to me?
But better than the bra adds I get on the browser at work...

CantSee4Looking · 27/08/2015 12:42

At least it is not like the kurtchner (sp) ads a while back that also moved but were out of sync Hmm The meercats just sit there, grinning like idiots. am i might have enlarged the txt so they don't fit on the screen

slug · 27/08/2015 12:34

Oh No!! Now they've gone too far!!!

I can put up with the hacks, I can put up just with mumsnet being offline for hours at a time.

But what I can't put up with is bloody Meercats taking up half my screen. I may have to deregister!

Lweji · 27/08/2015 12:30

Ashley Madison hackers

Maybe he thinks they are mumsnetters?
Did a group of wives with IT skills set out to destroy the site their husbands were on? I wouldn't put it past some people here. :)

A crying teenage boy with a 'nosebleed' holding a broken anonymous mask.

Ooh, I know. Simon has just found out that not only have Ashley Madison hackers released all his personal details, but that the women that he was chatting up on there weren't real.
