WHY is it 100 times harder to write on mn than it ever has been??

@Shriek, n, I don't use Chrome to access MN most of the time; I use Safari on an iPad. Once in a while I drag out my laptop which uses Chrome but I don't have problems then.

@Jux have you recently updated your chrome? I just wonder if there is any connection between our issues.
Having just logged onto MN on my tablet I am finding it a far better experience, and the only difference really is the browser, and android version, but your issues with the keyboard sounded exactly the same as mine!

Its a veritable breeze now!

On another device now, and completely different. Easy peasy, no lagging, barely perceptible.

Yep this has been happening for a few months and it only happens on mumsnet!

(And this thread is better than the others I try to post on, though still not fantastic itself!)

The ad doesn't seem to be so disruptive today. Thank you!

However, typing is still lagging and deleting for amendment is still chaotic.

Links are largely unresponsive.

V frustrating still though it's fractionally better today.

I can only use mobile site, desktop seems to permanently freeze any threads I open.
I'm on iPad, Safari, have Adblock on but still getting that infuriating blank box at top left hand side of screen - it never loads completely.
Quite frankly I'm getting to the end of my patience now, it's been at least two months and nothing's changed.

I have exactly the same - laggy keyboard and deleting multiple words instead of just one character. Using an android phone.

Very slow loading threads and am getting the spinning ball of slowness, sometimes when I type it doesn't keep up, using Safari on iMac OS Mojave 10.14.01

Also have ABP adblocker on

Similar on iPad but also getting that Safari had to reload the page.

Although i have to say, it is very much worse on another site I use which is ad free!?

Yes! Everything hangs until that small box ad loads

I've noticed that there's a small ad box which always loads first. Often nothing else seems to load until i scroll a bit up or down at which point the thread appears on a more forward layer and the ad is no longer visible.

Is that relevant?

It's chewing through data. It's like everything I do is copied and submitted repeatedly

It's very refreshing to type in here!

FFS it's impossible to post anything at all now. There is a pause/reload after every keystroke! (have had to C&P this message).

@MNHQ please do something!

Another thing mine does is when finished writing text and pressing post the options at the bottom of the screen immediately jump up to cover post and you end up hitting search instead. Bloody infuriating when you've put a lot o time and effort in to being accurate, copying correctly, checking user names and then correcting all your keyboard crazies

On another talking site I use, its far far worse. My keyboard goes into swipe mode, making words by drawing a line between one letter and the next. I end up with green lines all over my keyboard, and when I hit 'enter' it pops up the emoji's!!!

Just checking on how easy it is on this thread.
Just doing another paragraph to check that out too.

It's definitely a changeable thing, and yes, the further I get down the text the more wading-through-mud like it becomes.

I have noticed that it is better if you are posting a short reply. It fucks up the most if you want to write more than one paragraph.

This morning it is horrendous. Just lost a long post because the page reloaded after it wouldn't allow me to delete something.

It is becoming unbearable at times.

Awful today too.

Does anyone else find that it's not half so bad when posting on this thread? How on earth can that be? But it really isn't as bad on this thread (it is still not normal though).

!!!!yes, same!!!

Really bad tonight. Interestingly, when it happens my MacBook tells me that the page (MN) is using significant energy.
