On the mobile site, I often tap on a thread but the one that opens is 2-3 lines higher.

Does that make sense? So there will be a list of Active threads:

AIBU to think pigs can fly?

Help with Potty training

Oh no, I'm covered in bees!

I'll click on "Bees" and it will take me to "pigs". I don't always notice straight away either. It's really annoying! The page isn't even jumping unless it happens in the split second that I click every time.

I am using android 5.1.1, standard Samsung browser.

Yep, thought it was just my shitty phone! Also using the mobile site on android

Groovee · 13/04/2016 11:07

It happens to me too. It's always the wrong one which opens.

exexpat · 13/04/2016 10:57

Same as secretspy here - chrome/android (on tablet, so not so much of a fat finger issue) and I seem to end up opening a lot lof sponsored threads I have no interest in...

SecretSpy · 13/04/2016 10:53

Happens a lot for me too using chrome on Android. Nearly always takes me to a sponsored thread Hmm

I don't think it's any particular ad Becca, it's not an intermittent issue, it's literally 100% of the time I'm on the mobile site. I'll try it on mobile Firefox later with an adblocker if that'd be helpful data.

I've not changed how I use mumsnet and this had only started since the last update with the font. On ipad accessing via website not app.

It happens to me on the mobile site. I'm using a kindle fire

Absolutely no idea on ads, sorry. I only notice it after it's done it, so I can't go back and check the ad afterwards because they change.

Hi cozie - yes, you're probably right, good point! Tech are looking into it now so hopefully we will know soon. Thank you.

cozietoesie · 12/04/2016 15:01

For me, I've noticed it on the new app, Becca, so that may make it not so much an ad issue?

ThursdayNextIsMyHero · 12/04/2016 14:58

I've noticed this too, but only for the last month or two. I assumed it was my phone. I'm using the mobile site on Android 5.1

Queenbean · 12/04/2016 14:57

Hi Becca, thanks

It tends to be after I've been on style and beauty very ugly sandals at the moment that new ads pop up

BeccaMumsnet · 12/04/2016 14:52

Hi all - sounds like this needs to get over to Tech straight away.

Has anyone noticed any particular ads when this happens?

scandichick · 12/04/2016 14:23

I'm the same as cozie, lately it's the thread above the one I wanted that opens if I don't wait for the slow banner to load.

cozietoesie · 12/04/2016 14:14

Thinking about it, I may, more often, have been getting the thread 'just above' than any greater distance.

LineyReborn · 12/04/2016 13:15

Big script to load = too many flashing fucking adverts

ouryve · 12/04/2016 13:12

Yes - it's happening to me.

Not unlike the big jump that happens on the desktop site.

There's obviously a big script, somewhere, that takes a while to load, causing problems for everyone using the site via a browser. That and the freezing problem have made me give up, a few times now.

MoreGilmoreGirls · 12/04/2016 13:11

Happens to me all the time, it's usually a sponsored thread so I was wondering if it happened on purpose. Bloody annoying Angry

JoolsSchmools · 12/04/2016 13:09

Me too.
Patiently waiting for when the android app comes out (this decade hopefully) as I'm guessing not much can be done about it

AmysTiara · 12/04/2016 13:03

Yep me too. Annoying.

cozietoesie · 12/04/2016 12:58

I've been getting this recently on the new App.

LineyReborn · 12/04/2016 11:55

Yep, me too.

LetThereBeCupcakes · 12/04/2016 11:50

Another one here thinking it was just me / my phone!

LilithTheKitty · 12/04/2016 11:48

Same here. I also thought it was a fat fingers/dodgy phone combination.
