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?

Same here,iPhone 6,on safari.always had mine set to 25 posts and all other sites fine.i have had to read a book!

BantyCustards · 02/03/2017 05:33

I'm on iPhone, mobile site and have it set to 25 posts - I've been having the same issues on and off for at least 3 weeks.

Ginkypig · 02/03/2017 01:01

It has been absolutely ridiculous this evening/night!

Get it sorted mnhq. This is not an isolated incident things like this happen regularly.

The site is almost unusable, it has taken me over an hour to be able to post here to even tell you!

ineedaholidaynow · 02/03/2017 00:04

I'm having problems too mainly on my iPad. Loads half a page then freezing.

Oldieandgoldie · 01/03/2017 23:56

It's worse tonight, the site is virtually unusable. I'm having to constantly reboot my iPad if I want to look at anything.

All other websites are running fine.

SpookyPotato · 01/03/2017 22:34

I'm also iphone, safari, mobile site so thought I'd test using the chrome browser rather than safari and it's the same..

purplemunkey · 01/03/2017 22:26

Ugh, yes - constantly freezing. As pp I'm having to keep closing Safari and restart my browser. Very irritating.

iPhone 5, safari, mobile site.

Palomb · 01/03/2017 22:13

Me a million. Keeps freezing my browser.

6+ safari on super fast wifi and 3g too. Mobile site.

NanTheWiser · 01/03/2017 22:07

I remembered that I have Puffin browser on iPad, and MN works fine on that! Might be worth downloading it if you use iPad.

PseudoBadger · 01/03/2017 21:35

So slow tonight, it's clearly the top advert loading which causes the trouble. iPhone 5SE on safari

Ankleswingers · 01/03/2017 21:26

I'm exactly the same as MissTakesOurMaid

Only difference is that I'm on a iPhone 6 safari. Sad

MagentaRocks · 01/03/2017 21:25

Getting blank page too. Had to find this thread a different way as too much blank page so couldn't get it on TIO.

Unusable again tonight. No point reading a thread as you can only see so much. Doubt I will be able to see anything after this post.

I give up.

BakeOffBiscuits · 01/03/2017 21:20

Well I spoke too soon!

It's gone back to being crap again, pages won't load, I can't get past the "Threads I'm on" page as it only half loads.

It's taken 3 goes of closing down MN then coming back on it, to get to this page.

MissTakesOurMaid · 01/03/2017 20:52

Also been having this with MN for the past three days where half the page will load then no more, or it'll just be a white screen despite being fully loaded. Am on an iPad using the desktop site, iOS 10(?)

The thing is, when this happens I can't visit any other thread - if the page loads, even though it shows me threads, I can't click on any of them, can't move to a different topic, or start a new thread. I have to reload a good four times before the page becomes responsive. It's mainly been happening with me when I try to look at

  • the home page
  • active convos
  • anything in trending/discussions of the day
BakeOffBiscuits · 01/03/2017 20:49

I found it Page, thanks again.

I changed the pages to 50 posts per page and also changed to the Mobile Site, on IPad and it's made a lot of difference.

Previoulsy I was on the desktop site and 100 posts per page.

Sleeperandthespindle · 01/03/2017 20:47

Same here. 5S, safari, mobile site. Never known this freezing thing and having to close safari before.

PurpleDaisies · 01/03/2017 20:45

I'm having the same freezing issues needing to close and reopen a new tab to resolve. It's bloody annoying.

iPhone 5s, safari, mobile site.

BakeOffBiscuits · 01/03/2017 20:43

Thank you PageStill, I will have a go.

PageStillNotFound404 · 01/03/2017 20:39

BakeOff can you see the word 'Talk' near the top of the screen, between the banner and the Active / I'm On / I'm Watching etc menu? Click on the little down arrow next to 'Talk', then 'Customise' and that will show you how many posts per page you have set up.

I've switched to my laptop, running Firefox, and it seems fine so far.

LePetitPont · 01/03/2017 20:39

Similar iPhone 5s safari issues here with the mobile site. If I turn off the tab and open a new one it usually starts up again.

KickingKat · 01/03/2017 20:29

Same here and it's messing my whole phone up. As soon as mumsnet freezes I can't close the page, can't do anything. I have to double click and shut safari down to access anything.

iPhone 6s
Safari

BakeOffBiscuits · 01/03/2017 20:28

Can anyone help me with a query?

How do i check my settings etc, for posts on page etc?

Akire · 01/03/2017 20:26

Same here iPhone safari keeps freezing, half loading have to keep turning phone on off. So annoying

BakeOffBiscuits · 01/03/2017 20:24

Mine has been awful on Ipad using the mobile site. It will not load more than a few lines.

On the desktop site on Chrome, it is absolutely fine.

3littlebadgers · 01/03/2017 20:24

Yes me too! iPhone safari. Really slow if at all!
