It's back again - Random thread opening

103 replies

TwoHeadedYellowBelliedHoleDig · 06/02/2020 20:25

Ages ago there was an issue where on the mobile site you would click on a thread title in Active and a random thread 3-5 threads up the list would open instead.

Now it's back, and just as irritating.

And I tried to start a thread earlier but it says it's been auto-deleted.

FFS,it's just taken me 4 attempts to click on this thread. Why does MN have so many of there annoying glitches if it's not this it's something else? No other sites I use seem to have issues quite so frequently.

I've said on another "Site stuff" thread that I'm boycotting bloody Ape snacks because I've seen that thread so much when trying to open another.

Now, along with wretched Ape snacks, I'm also boycotting Equazen supplements and Toxic magazine.

Wouldn't have bought them anyway but I'm so fed up of seeing MN threads about them!

I'm sure this isn't an objective opinion, but the MN blue threads seem to come up erroneously far more than others, even when the thread I want seems miles away.

Just my paranoia, doubtless.

Apileofballyhoo · 13/02/2020 16:52

I'm here by accident again, can't get on to the thread I want

PhilomenaChristmasPie · 13/02/2020 16:50

It's beginning to drive me nuts. I just asked DD 12 if I could shoot MN. She said yes. Grin

Same here - android phone, mobile site. I'm used to having to wait for the little jump the threads do once the page has loaded but even having waited it's taking me three attempts to open a thread. Sometimes opening the one directly above on the list, sometimes one four or five places above, sometimes below.

To be honest it's making the site completely unusable.

MamehaSan · 13/02/2020 16:31

Yep, still going on... mobile site, chrome browser, andriod phone. No app in sight. I clicked on this thread and it opened one five places above it in the active convos list - a thread that wasn't even visible on my screen at the time! It's ruining the experience, please get it sorted!

ClementineWardobe · 13/02/2020 16:28

Mobile site Android phone, using chrome. Last three days its been happening

It sounds like many of you are not using the app but the mobile site so we'll make sure that information is heard by the right people.

We're so sorry to hear how frustrating it is for you all and we will do all we can to push for solutions faster rather than slower.

Ostanovka · 13/02/2020 16:01

Happening to me too all week, mobile site on android, not the app. I use chrome.

bertdynamite · 13/02/2020 08:32

Has been happening to me, using the mobile site on a tablet, for a few days now. Glad the problem is not me, but it's very annoying.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 13/02/2020 08:22

Still happening a LOTHmm

purpleme12 · 12/02/2020 23:34

I'm on Android not using the app. On Google

PortiaCastis · 12/02/2020 17:29

Yep back for me too, I tried to open a thread and a very different random thread appeared instead

I spoke too soon. It's back!

It's still opening wrongly and very very slowly for me. (Chrome, tablet.)

dementedpixie · 12/02/2020 16:51

Its a total pain in the arse. Slow to open and then you dont know which thread is going to open when it eventually loads

Beamur · 12/02/2020 16:49

Happening to me too. Android phone.
Several goes to open this thread!

terfsandwich · 12/02/2020 16:44

This is happening to me. Huawei (not Android?) using Chrome app. In Australia if that makes a difference.

Nottobesniffedat · 11/02/2020 23:39

Yes, started today. Using Android Tablet & mobile on Chrome. Seems to be opening threads 1-2 above or below.
Also about 15-20 seconds to load the page.
Tried other forums and they're fine.
Can't you just undo whatever updates you made?

It's not been a problem for me this afternoon Grin

Started for me today - mobile site, android phone via chrome. I thought it was my impatience / touching the screen before it properly loaded.

Rainbowunicat · 11/02/2020 20:58

I'm using chrome on an android phone. It is unbearably bad now, the site is just completely unusable for me.
If it's not going to be fixed for months then I'll just leave. What a shame.

Namechangeymcnamechange11 · 11/02/2020 20:17

So glad this isn't just my new phone and/or fat fingers. It's bloody irritating is what it is!

Also android using Chrome not the app.
MNHQ, you said releasing an update for the app, but most people have said they're using the browser?

Rubytinsleslippers · 11/02/2020 20:13

Yes!! I actually started my own thread about this as it's taken me 5 attempts to get here!!! I am usually bumped to the blue threads ( no, I do not want the magazine or for my family to trial supliments )... Or some random thread...on my mobile, android.
Mumsnet - please make it stop as it is ruining my experience.
