Mumsnet crashing on Iphone4

Working for me now too, thank you! Though meanwhile I've been quite enjoying the app

Ooh, it's working for me too! What fairy dust have you been waving, Tech?
So now I have the app and the mobile version on my phone, I can do a direct comparison over the next few weeks!

The page is loading for me now!

iPhone user; yes, page appears to be loading then freezes and crashes safari completely, so have to shut the whole browser down and restart. Clear cache doesn't work. Chrome and dolphin exactly the same.
Mumsnet please please fix this.

"are those using an iPhone/iPad having a slow loading page which then crashes?"

What happened pretty much every time with the iPhone 4 (ios7) was that the blue loading bar would show up to a third or half loaded and you'd start to see the graphics loading - the three circles in the top right-hand corner and the grey discs to show how many answers there are always loaded first. Sometimes, but not often, text would appear for the first few thread titles. At that point the whole thing crashed Safari and wouldn't respond to anything else. I had to go to another bookmarked app (eg BBC) and load that first, and after that I could use Safari normally again.

Yep, slow loading page that then freezes and crashes

The site is just dreadfully built. Crashes non-stop on my relatively new ipad using both Safari and Chrome, regardless of whether the cache is cleared or not.

It works reasonably well on my desktop PC running Firefox (but dreadfully with Explorer).

It's getting to the point where I'm going to give up on using MN, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Hmmm I have been trouble for days, mumsnet just suddenly won't load, I am on iphone 5

I have been experiencing a similar issue for the last two or three weeks. Being a luddite, I am still using IOS 5.1 on an iPad 2. When I try to view a talk page, the content loads partially before crashing the browser. Neither the Mumsnet tab nor any other tab is responsive until the browser relaunches itself. The problem appears whether I am using Safari or Chrome.

My workaround is to view the page in Safari with JavaScript disabled. Mumsnet seems to function well without JavaScript, although many other sites require JavaScript and so it may be necessary to change the setting back after leaving.

To disable JavaScript in IOS 5, go to the home screen and choose Settings. Select Safari in the left-hand pane, and then on the right turn off JavaScript.

If you have trouble changing this setting or want a more temporary solution, you can browse to Mumsnet through a proxy service such as hide.me/en/proxy. Enter the www.mumsnet.co.uk address in the box shown, choose More Options and enable Remove Scripts.

IPhone user here- slow load, freeze, crash. Every time. Grrrrr

YES! I haven't been able to open MN properly on my iPhone 4 for the last week or two.

I'm on iOS 7, and this has only been an issue in the last couple of weeks.

As with above, the page starts loading, but freezes and crashes my entire browser. I've got no issues with any other websites at all.

not working on my iPad either.....

I'm also having problems, not been able to use it for a while now on my phone. Which means I have to find something else to do whilst sitting in the dark while DS falls asleep. Not happy!

Also have an iphone4 (and therefore can't update it any more)

I've had the same problem with my iPhone 4 on the mobile site using Safari. Very little problem using the mobile site on my iPod Touch 3rd gen (well, it's a bit slow, but was ever thus with the mobile site). As others have described, the mobile site for the iPhone was crashing Safari altogether, and clearing the cache does sweet Fanny Ann.

In desperation I've started using the app on the iPhone, which is actually working OK in the sense that it loads. Is this all part of your cunning plan to increase users of the app? Because the mobile site has features I like which just aren't there on the app (as yet), so I'm not well pleased. Not that the app is A Bad Thing at all, but it's Not Yet A Totally Good Thing.

Got the same problem. Cleared the cache but no joy. Something's definitely changed with Mumsnet - all other sites work fine. I miss reading Mumsnet on my phone

I am posting this from the new talk app

Early days, but the talk app looks like a great way forward for me!

Same here - another 4s. It happened about 10 days ago and I haven't been able to go on MN on it since. I can go on other sites, but once I go onto MN I can click Talk and then that's it - the whole phone freezes up.

That took four goes to post, has no emoticons and I couldn't see how to preview? Please help me get back on the mobile site!

Same problem here

Iphone 4S safari keeps crashing and I've had an enforced MN break for ten days Same on the iPad.
I tried clearing the cache and running updates but that made no difference. I can get onto the MN homepage but any page related to talk won't even load then crashes the browser. It doesn't matter whether it's following a link from google or directly refreshing a page I was on before this happened or following a link from the MN homepage. The bit visible on screen loads and then it gets stuck and freezes. Only way out is to force close safari. Oddly it doesn't happen on gransnet which I understand is the same tech team? I went there looking for help as I couldn't get on here at all!
Please help! I only managed to post this because I found the app but I really like the mobile site on safari.

I have the same problem. I can no longer use Mumsnet on my phone (iPhone 3). Fixes have not worked. It seems to stem from the adverts- the make it freeze and crash every single time. I have no patience for it. Can't understand why mumsnet aren't fixing it? I can't be the only one who can't afford another phone as it otherwise works well

Which one were you on?

I'm on 7

Do you need to update the operating system on your phone? I've also been having the same problem on my iphone 4 and I hadn't updated anything in ages. Updated today and it seems to be working fine now.
