Mumsnet not working on safari on iPad?

I can open the site but can't click on any thread, on 'I'm watching' or, basically do anything.
Is it my problem or a site problem?

This is the 4th week of us having this problem now - MNHQ you seem disinterested and uncaring that so many of your users are unable to use your site.

MountainPony · 27/10/2018 16:26

Yep, it's awful today.

TwoGinScentedTears · 27/10/2018 16:20

Still the same, if not worse for me today.

Slappinthebass · 26/10/2018 20:43

Just wanted wanted to add that I'm having the exact same issue, been this way for about a month. Sometimes it works fine, but more often than not the screen will randomly freeze when I'm reading a post, I can't scroll up or down and it takes a while before I can even close my browser window to reload something else. Very frustrating. I can't load the Mumsnet app because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I'm also on an iPhone, Safari. It hasn't been too bad today, only crashed a couple of times and I've not had to reload this post. But it can be intermittent.

@MumsnetHQ really like to know what's happening with this. problem is even worse making Munsnet unusable on iPad/Safari
I've had to download the app and I Really Do Not Like It.

MrMeSeeks · 26/10/2018 18:05

Replicate what though? The tinkering that Tech was doing at the beginning of this month with other things, but when it all started going pear-shaped with iPads?
This, and still on the iphone

Tartyflette · 26/10/2018 09:48

The site is worse than ever for me now on my iPad. Unusable. (Am posting on my phone)
Really need an update, MNHQ.
TIA.

Redcrayons · 25/10/2018 20:45

This has been happening for me as well. It’s ok on my iPhone but freezes on my iPad.

Kind of glad to see this thread, because I’ve just been pricing up new iPads Shock

IdahoCrow · 25/10/2018 18:00

I'm on a kindle (silk browser) and I've got trouble today with pages being incredibly slow to load.

Also, in both mobile site and desktop mode, the emoji and PM buttons are dead to me - this has been the case for over a week. I've reported it a few times now.

dfwr · 25/10/2018 17:59

It's so bad I've had to sign in on my work machine because having to constantly refresh and refresh was just awful.

silkpyjamasallday · 25/10/2018 17:58

I've been having this issue too, but I've found if I'm in a normal browser (as opposed to a private/incognito) it works fine. Does seem to have something to do with the ads.

TheOneWithTheBaby · 25/10/2018 17:55

This is really annoying. Safari is the only way I currently access mumsnet!
It freezes all the time now. Even when I restart everything it often just works a few minutes

BitOfFun · 25/10/2018 15:10

Same here. I keep having to shut down.

JoggerBottom · 25/10/2018 15:07

Bump...

RJnomore1 · 25/10/2018 09:28

It's happening on my iPhone too for at least the last week, I'm really glad to spot this thread because I thought it was actually my phone doing it.

Safari too.

Chewbecca · 25/10/2018 09:24

Seems it is RIP for MN via safari on iPad

Tartyflette · 25/10/2018 00:09

Yep, same problem here. Slow to load, pages freezing and generally a real pain.

PanPanPanPing · 24/10/2018 18:44

Still utterly useless for me on iPad too.

"...we've spoken to tech and they still aren't able to replicate the issue. Unfortunately this means that we can't see what might be wrong."

Replicate what though? The tinkering that Tech was doing at the beginning of this month with other things, but when it all started going pear-shaped with iPads?

Knicknackpaddyflak · 24/10/2018 12:04

Unusable this morning. It's definitely the ads, it always is. I don't find waiting helps, and am having to close and re open the browser constantly to unfreeze it, which lasts, if I'm lucky, long enough to read about three posts. Several closing and re openings to get the links to be clickable long enough to get one opened.

CherLooksYoungerThanMe · 24/10/2018 09:18

Mumsnet still freezing for me on iPad. No other website has the problem, and I use it for work and home, so quite a lot. Mumsnet works on my laptop, but I'm rarely on that.

It's making the site unusable for me. I don't want to download the app.

SuperSuperSuper · 23/10/2018 22:58

I'm still having this problem. I hope it's fixed soon.

Battenburg1978 · 23/10/2018 20:41

I am also experiencing this issue - it is becoming tiresome and I also have the problem mentioned above where once the page has frozen onMumsnet, it then won't load any other pages. This is using iPhone safari.

Jackyjill6 · 23/10/2018 19:27

Just popping in to say it seems all fine for me now, hope I'm not speaking too soon.

PinkBuffalo · 23/10/2018 18:51

That's really interesting about waiting a while to make sure the page is loaded. I couldn't even post yesterday, but am hoping this post has gone on successfully!

Thenewdoctor · 23/10/2018 18:51

Yip. I have to swipe out of safari altogether because it seems to block the whole thing. I can’t get any other pages to load either. And it’s only mumsnet this starts on.
