Let alone post on them.

It's beyond a joke now, vast swathes of MN are now totally inaccessible to me. Can we PLEASE sort this out?

Any update from mnhq?

Site is completely unusable On iPad iv used the app to check this thread.

Iv been unable to access any thread since yesterday on iPad even to check this thread.

Il use the app only to check here for updates as I hate it for normal use.

And then when I do get it, it half loads and just freezes. Like this.

Still happening. When this happens I get the wheel of doom at the top and can't do anything. I have to come out and open a new tab. It was like the picture for around 8 minutes - I then came out of mn completely.

Using safari on iPad. It was problems like this that made people leave a forum I was on before and set up a new one.

I can use my MacBook to access MN but not my iPhone or iPad. My iPad was fine up until early yesterday then it just freezes. I've cleared the cache, and it's just MN - I can load all other sites on my phone and iPad but just not Mumsnet.

Safari on all 3, the site on all 3 (not the app, I don't like the app at all).

It's driving me bloody potty, I can load the home page on my iPad and iPhone and it loads Active Conversations but then I can't load any threads. It just hangs, and I get a white page or just a few posts and then white space.

MrsBellefleur · 02/03/2017 15:33

Same here, site freezes when loading pages. Happens on threads I click on and also losing active/threads I'm on etc so nothing to do with how many posts per page I have it set at. Also why should I change from my preferred 1000 posts per page when it's worked for more than a year and it's only been this week that it's started to hang?

The only thing that resolves it for a while is closing the page down and loading it back up.

I'm on an iPhone 6s, mobile site through safari.

MaroonPencil · 02/03/2017 15:19

Same here, iPad, Safari, don't know if it is the mobile or desktop site but not the app. No talk page would load this morning. Fine on the laptop - Chrome.

cloudchasing · 02/03/2017 15:17

I know I sound like a proper whinger, but why is it taking so long to fix? This has been going on for weeks! I don't understand why nobody seems to know what the issue is.

Gluetap · 02/03/2017 14:49

Same problem with iPad with latest iOS. Cache cleared several times. Page loads then you can't click on anything.

Mummylin · 02/03/2017 14:20

Same problem here. iPad , Safari latest IOS.

WhatAPigsEar · 02/03/2017 14:16

I've been having problems this morning too. Nothing would load. I was on mobile site on my iphone

lightgreenglass · 02/03/2017 14:12

The same as the above PP, it's an effort to get anything to load and it freezes all the time. Sort it out.

lia66 · 02/03/2017 14:10

Can't load whole page. I've never had more than 50 posts per page. Can't click links, couldn't get on at all last night.

I use iPad on safari or iPhone 6. All the same problems.

Am using the app to post this but I do t like the app.

HateSummer · 02/03/2017 14:02

Really slow on my iPhone. Can't scroll. My pages are already set to 25 since when they changed the settings years ago. Ever since they made those first changes its never been the same. It's a wonder how I've managed to get to this page.

DollyMcDolly · 02/03/2017 13:59

I can't use the site on my iPhone right now. It loads up the home screen then freezes. Using Safari.

SilenceOfThePrams · 02/03/2017 13:58

Still happening here (iPhone SE/Safari). And like pp, it now freezes all of safari, I have to close everything down and start again.

Starts fine for the first 2-3 posts and then seizes up. Irritating.

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 02/03/2017 13:49

Oh - it's the desktop site on my ipad, not the app. The page half loads, then freezes, and it's not possible to click through to any threads. When it's been worst, it's actually frozen my internet and I have to restart the ipad to get everything going again.

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 02/03/2017 13:46

I can't use MN on my ipad (Safari) any more. Even if I can get the site itself to load, none of the threads will load.

It's so frustrating - I used to love browsing MN but it's just too stressful now.

IFartGlitter · 02/03/2017 12:58

Me too! It's taken ages for me to post this! Feels like I'm on dial up! It's soooo slow, pages half loading, I'm having to close down the page and reload every time I come on here, it's making MN unusable for me. I'm using Safari on an iPad yet my android phone (chrome) isn't having the same issue!

Sort it out please!

SpookyPotato · 02/03/2017 11:20

After not being able to get on at all this morning on my iphone, using safari or chrome browsers, I downloaded the app and it's working really fast. Just incase anyone wants to try it! Lets see how long it lasts Grin

PageStillNotFound404 · 02/03/2017 11:14

Desktop site on iPad/Safari impossible to use again this morning - possibly the worst it's been so far, I can't even get the first talk page I try to open to load regardless of whether I go in through history, bookmark, google search to the talk menu, google search to a specific thread...I've had to download the app just so I could post this update.

MollyofTheFolly · 02/03/2017 11:13

What's going on?! Nice lazy morning perusing MN was the plan, instead I'm in a hormone/caffeine induced strop at the site not working on my iPad browser. Half loading, can't click through, etc etc. Other sites working fine, so not an internet issue. Keep popping back to see if it's sorted itself out. It hasn't. Help MN HQ , else I will have no option but to do some work and that really isn't going end well for anyone....

B1rdonawire · 02/03/2017 11:11

Hmm, so this is a thing? I don't look at MN in the evenings at all now because threads just don't load on ipad safari. Not even the list of threads in Active - I get about 30-50% of the page, then blankness. Re-loads sometimes, fails again, freezes. The frustration is ridiculous. Other sites are loading fine on safari btw - facebook, news sites etc. Just not MN at all.

Works fine on laptop on chrome - something is very wrong with how it works on ipad.

Cornettoninja · 02/03/2017 11:09

Thanks for the acknowledgement Lorna. I will keep trying (because I'm addicted Grin).

I do wonder how many people are struggling and have given up already? It's a fair old effort to get to this thread.

littlbrowndog · 02/03/2017 11:08

iPad safari and Firefox. Same as everybody else. Pages half loading. Freezing
