App constantly refreshing

41 replies

Candlefairy101 · 24/08/2016 19:53

Say I'm on 'active' and click on a thread, read the thread for a bit and press back, the 'active page has refreshed.

Stay with me, it used to be that when you went back 'all the topics were the same until you manually refreshed 'active' yourself.

I feel like I don't want to click on a thread because when I go back to active I'm going to miss out on another interesting thread maybe below unless I temper what section it's from and the name. Does that make sense?

OP posts:
New posts on this thread. Refresh page

sorry this is still causing problems for you all Blush we'll make sure this gets another look

MiniLop · 30/09/2016 19:29

It's been doing this more over the last couple of days Angry so annoying!

jenniuol · 20/09/2016 19:12

It's extremely irritating and still doing it Confused

JennyOnAPlate · 20/09/2016 17:45

I came on to moan about this very issue and thought I'd see if there was a thread already in existence.

It's very irritating. I'm happily reading a thread, go back to active convos and the page refreshes.

I'm on iPhone 6s.

Cheerybigbottom · 08/09/2016 05:54

I also find it happens when I close a thread and return to list. I find threads repeat themselves halfway down too. I wonder if it's only an iphone6 issue?

WatcherOfTheNight · 06/09/2016 23:42

Lamppost I've had that happen today.
Hope it's fixed soon!

Scrumptiousbears · 05/09/2016 21:31

I've lost a thread I was reading due to this. Can't find it anywhere. Angry

imnottoofussed · 05/09/2016 21:11

Mine seems to be ok today I wonder if it's how long you stay reading a thread? Then when you go back it refreshes the active list?

MilkyMess · 05/09/2016 21:04

Infuriating here too, using the iPhone app.

LamppostInWinter · 05/09/2016 21:04

This has been happening to me too, iPhone 6s using the app. It's now started jumping to the top and refreshing when I'm scrolling down Active. Very irritating.

myheadsamess · 05/09/2016 20:56

Me too, via the app and iPhone 5s. Happens when returning to active from a specific thread. Not all the time but enough to be annoying!

jenniuol · 05/09/2016 20:23

I'm also the same as MiniLop. It happens in active and in topics. I scroll down, click on a thread and when I try to go back it automatically refreshes immediately Confused Also iPhone 6s on the app.

WatcherOfTheNight · 05/09/2016 17:11

Oh & I'm getting the same as MiniLop,it's happening automatically as I come out of a thread.

WatcherOfTheNight · 05/09/2016 17:10

This is still happening & it's driving me insane !Confused
Also getting threads repeating the Original posts & comments further down thread
& getting kicked off all the time arggghhh!
It's going to be a fun night !!

iPhone 6 on the app.

SomedayMyPrinceWillCome · 05/09/2016 16:51

Same for me. I'm accessing on iPhone 6 via the app & it refreshes while I'm reading a thread. Very annoying as everyone else has said

MiniLop · 05/09/2016 16:48

That's definitely not the case for me. Just now I was reading a thread in active, I wanted to read the one below it too but when I went 'back' to active it jumped up to the top and refreshed. It quite often does it in the background too, so I'll be reading a thread, and when I go back to active I'll be at the top of a new (refreshed) list. Does that make sense?

TimMumsnet · 05/09/2016 11:06

Hey guys! I've looked into the issue a bit further, the only situation I can find where it is automatically refreshing the active view is in this scenario:

  • If a user closes the app, switches to another app and back again, locks the screen then unlocks OR allows the screen to lock automatically and then unlocks, the active list will refresh, wherever you are in the app.

Can anyone confirm this is the only occasion it occurs? It should not auto-refresh when you stay in the app at all, so let me know if it happens otherwise!

I can see why it would be irritating, so here's a fix I'm proposing:

  • only automatically refresh the active view when the app is re-opened and it's been 30min+ since the last refresh.

Any thoughts?

CakeAndChocolate · 03/09/2016 07:04

This drives me nuts! Really annoying.

jenniuol · 03/09/2016 07:02

Yes, still happening for me too.

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 02/09/2016 22:45

Oh I thought this was a deliberate update, so glad it's a glitch. I'm on Talk app on iPhone 6.

MiniLop · 02/09/2016 22:31

Yes, still happening for me Sad

MewlingQuim · 02/09/2016 20:17

I've got this too, thought something was wrong with my phone.

Microsoft phone.

lemoncakes · 02/09/2016 18:06

Yes mine is doing the same - very irritating! Both active and topics. I'm using an iPhone 5.

MimsyBorogroves · 02/09/2016 18:00

Yep, still happening. It's really annoying. I'm on an iPhone 6 on the app too.

Cheerybigbottom · 02/09/2016 17:56
