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?

I downloaded the NeverAds app and followed its instructions and now the site works!

Batteriesallgone · 04/03/2017 04:37

Wouldn't work for me yesterday at 5ish, or around 8pm. Working fine now at 4:30am. But I really would like to be able to use the site whenever.

loop go to the App Store. Install Adblock Plus. (Free) Follow the instructions to turn it on in Settings. You need to swipe to the second screen to see the instructional video.

No improvement here Sad

How do I install an adblocker on an iPad?
I was stuck on one thread for several hours before.

ThreeFish · 03/03/2017 23:16

I predict a mumsnet survey soon asking how many of us are using Adblockers 😄

ThreeFish · 03/03/2017 23:15

This Adblocker thingy is great! MN back to normal, and no problems with other sites I visit.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 03/03/2017 23:12

It's unuseable
Have had to try all evening
Bye

rumblingDMexploitingbstds · 03/03/2017 23:04

I just installed ad blocker on iPad. Now works perfectly. Sad

I'm all for supporting the site via ads, but when it's no longer useable without a blocker MN is losing traffic either way.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 03/03/2017 22:52

yia

Sounds like its the ad blocker doesnt it

Its working perfectly now

SisterMoonshine · 03/03/2017 22:51

It seems better for me just at this moment, hence I'm here and posting. But I couldn't get on earlier and I think that was since the MN message.
(I'm going to try out the rest of talk now, I've really missed Mumsmet recently)

Yiayoula · 03/03/2017 22:23

Tried on OH's iPad ( no ad blocker installed) via Safari and appeared to be back to normal initially, but problem reoccurred within five minutes.

Now back to using my device with ad blocker and it's fine.......

RedBugMug · 03/03/2017 22:13

weirdly it's now slow, but fine on safari/ipad but gets stuck on phone/safari

Gallavich · 03/03/2017 22:06

I have installed Adblock and it seems to be working. I have deliberately chosen not to install Adblock before this as I respect sites need to generate revenue through advertising but I had no choice. Bit of an own goal here mumsnet!

Kiwi32 · 03/03/2017 22:05

Site became totally unusable for me this evening, working perfectly so far with adbocker app installed.

bluebump · 03/03/2017 21:25

Oh, now it's not working again. Sad

LesserRedpoll · 03/03/2017 21:15

I'm a bit scared to say this in case it jinxes it, but it's working perfectly now on iPad and safari for me - and I haven't installed any Adblock or anything. Phew! And thank you techies.

HungryHorace · 03/03/2017 20:59

Adblock installed on iPad Mini and iPhone and yay, it's working again properly. Phew!

I won't miss seeing them, it has to be said.

bluebump · 03/03/2017 20:55

It seems to be working OK for me at the moment.

helpimitchy · 03/03/2017 20:51

What device are you on Sauvignon?

SauvignonBlanche · 03/03/2017 20:38

helpimitchy, thanks I installed Adblock plus and followed all the instructions but to no avail.

Given how sad this has made me feel and the fact that I'm sat here on my work lap top on a Friday night maybe it's time i took break from MN? Sad

CurlyhairedAssassin · 03/03/2017 20:34

And it's all draining my battery summat rotten!

CurlyhairedAssassin · 03/03/2017 20:32

Sorry 20.18 I meant. If that makes any difference. I tried testing the criteo ad link to the site it pointed to and even that wouldn't load. So it does need sorting out as even the ads don't work!!!

CurlyhairedAssassin · 03/03/2017 20:30

I started reading this thread this evening because I've had the same problems as others the last few days. Site unusable. Was just wondering if I should jump ahead to the last page because the problem seemed to have been solved and lo and behold, it happened again. 20.15. There was a criteo ad at the top of the page it happened on. I have reloaded and reloaddd and finally managed to get the site to work properly. Safari on iPhone 6 (which worked for months fine until very recently)

Fraggleface · 03/03/2017 20:27

I've given up looking at MN several times over the last few days after numerous, often futile, attempts to load pages on new safari tabs.
Please sort your shit out MNHQ (or at least update us on what's going on)!
