SLOW! It's so fucking slow now, I can't even get long threads to load any more

Which ad blocker are people loading on iPad? Mine is a few years old and all the ones I've tried are incompatible. Having said that I did just install iOS 10.2.1 and I'm accessing the site on my iPad for the first time for a week, so fingers crossed it's fixed.

Thank you!

Installed the first ad blocker that came up in the App Store for my iPhone and finally I can read mn again!

Previously was getting blank screens and mn locking up halfway through a thread.

(P.s if we all block the ads to be able to use the website what's the point in them being there? No one will see them?)

TheOnly - my issues were resolved completely by installing AdBlock Plus on my iPad. It's a free app. It's also worked on my iPhone.

So I'd say definitely worth installing.

STILL problematic on iPhone.

Have given up MNetting on my iPad now. However, I do have adblocker on my laptop, installed by work. So is it worth installing it on the iPad?

STILL unusable on my iPad (Safari).

Still unusable on my ipad (desktop, safari)

Getting VERY tedious now.

Also very slow loading on my laptop (desktop, chrome) but it is eventually loading.

I have suspected it's me who's broken everything all along giraffe

Funnily enough this thread just crashed after you posted that, puppy!

I think it's worked

After crashing on my iphone, it now just crashed on my ipad. It's much better than it was last night though when it was crashing every other time I clicked a link.

Except I've just now seen the same giffgaff ad and it loaded fine

Lots of blank adverts at the moment.

It was being much better on my iPhone this morning, then I went to page 3 of a thread I was reading, and it froze again. Normally the ad doesn't load or can't be seen but this time it was a Giffgaff £18 per month ad. Went to take a screenshot and the screen went white and I had to close the window.

Have totally given up on iPhone - trying to install an Ad Blocker but I have to get the latest update now - what could possibly go wrong? * cries.

Still works fine on Chrome on my MacBook, which has an Ad Blocker installed.

Another one deliberately searching out site stuff to see if anyone else is suffering like I have recently.
It keeps sticking on both my i pad and Mac. Can't load threads and is terribly slow when they do.
I've also had to log in several times when I've been thrown out.

Ironically, this is the first thread that's loaded with no problems for me in about a week. Otherwise, same issues as everyone else is reporting. Makes the site unusable. And for the techies to be saying oh reduce your post count - well, yes, but there's clearly a problem beyond that, and as your interface is so bloody antiquated that half the posts on a big fast moving thread are just placemarking, that's not a sustainable or sensible response.

Ad blocker now installed on iPad and all fine.

Mines terrible on my iPhone as well.

Been struggling too for ages, installed ad blocker yesterday and fine since.

It's definitely the ads as my iPad is fine with ad blocker.

I didn't put it on my phone to see what happened and still the same problems on iPhone. So now have ad blocker on it too and it's fine now.

Still not working for me either. I'm getting the same issue a lot of other posters have mentioned- blank screens when you click on a thread and the whole thing freezing and unresponsive so I can't scroll up or down. It's been doing this all week- thought it was my phone at first until I realised all other sites were fine apart from mumsnet. It's rendering the mobile site pretty much unusable and has been that way for a week or so now.

I think it's a shame that mumsnet seem to have identified that it's an ad/ads that is causing this but haven't shut down all the ads while they investigate.

I think the worst thing was that when it was stuck on MN I couldn't actually do anything else on Safari as it completely froze it, I had to clear all my website date which because its connected with iCloud cleared it on all my devices and MacBook, not very useful if you want to visit previous pages of other sites.

The Adblock won't be switched off until I know its fixed properly.

I just checked on DH's iPad (no ad blocker)

All problems still there.

still not working properly.
sometimes it's just slow, sometimes it freezes. and when it freezes it makes safari unusable.

I don't mind adds too much, but this is really annoying.
