Struggling to post from iPad? Anyone else?

37 replies

I can't seem to post or go into a thread once I've posted. Everything just freezes up. The only way I can post is to close mumsnet and go back in again.

I'm on an iPad, using Safari, all other sites work and I've tried turning it off and on again. Is anyone else getting this?

Thanks very much for the screenshot, that should do the trick. We're really sorry this ad has caused so many problems and will get our Ads team to sort it pronto.

And Chutes, we'll try to get this fixed quickly before you start attacking people with your iPad...

Same for me, and yep, it is aquila

ChutesTooNarrow · 16/02/2016 15:09

This has been a problem since the end of last year. I've already sworn to never buy Aquila but I'm getting to the point where I'm going to start accosting strangers in the street and make them promise to never buy it.

Same for me chutes

ChutesTooNarrow · 16/02/2016 14:58

Sorry it's the Aquila advert that is the problem, not the Boots one.

It used to crash my iPad trying to load, requiring a complete restart. At least it doesn't do that anymore. Now it makes me hop around in impotent fury as it freezes safari for a few minutes loading. I can't scroll down the page or navigate away to other tabs.

BoreOfWhabylon · 16/02/2016 14:57

We've been complainng about this for weeks on various threads - why is it still happening?

ChutesTooNarrow · 16/02/2016 14:54

This advert. The absolute bloody rage it is giving me, it has been freezing my iPad all day.

Hi all - we can understand why it's just not possible to get a screenshot of the ad/ads causing this, but does anyone have anymore info on the ad, e.g. the brand/brands on the ad, colour, any images, etc.? Apologies for asking, but they want to make sure they get the right one as it looks like it's still causing trouble. Thanks all.

Hi BOW - we'll check back in with our ads team. Thanks for flagging again Brew

BoreOfWhabylon · 16/02/2016 12:40

The ad is back and so is the freezing!

Can't do a screenshot becuse it freezes the whole sodding iPad!

Please MNHW, just sort it out

Hi all

Thanks for all the info, that's really helpful. We've raised this with the ads team and will post again when we hear back from them.

Perihelion · 10/02/2016 11:36

Windows phone.Not just mine, same with others in the house, various Nokias.Might not be getting many complaints as it's now almost impossbie to post using mobile site. Last time it was like this was before the DOS attack, although not actually been logged out of MN.

Perihelion · 10/02/2016 11:28

Posting from desktop. Mobile site still freezing not loading and chucking me out of internet. Various banner ads, but the bottom square box is just black with loading, circle of dots and a volume/sound symbol. Complete bollocks, I'm off to read a book.

ChutesTooNarrow · 09/02/2016 21:09

Yes it's the Aquila ad. It's already been raised here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2511665-Ad-crashing-my-ipad

OhYouBadBadKitten · 08/02/2016 14:16

freezes with me too today. Not noticed what is causing it.

@BoreOfWhabylon

It's whenever that banner ad with the rocket thing appears at the top of the page. It jumps arond trying to load and then freezes.

Is anyone else having a problem with this specific ad? We can flag it to our Ads team if so.

Perihelion · 08/02/2016 09:35

Mobile site with windows phone....been shite for the last few days. Freezes, pages don't fully load. Other sites are okay.

cozietoesie · 07/02/2016 23:42

There are one two iPad apps that suddenly seem to be misbehaving tonight.

Yes, it is happening to me as well. Posting on iPad with Safari.
