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.

Yes I didnt really want to read the baby name thread or the flat earth one but I ended up there

Newcatmum · 11/02/2020 20:08

I'm on the mobile site (android and chrome) this has been happening all day I've been cursing myself thinking I'm being clumsy and clicking the wrong thread so came here to see. Happened when I tried to open this thread too.

Brenna24 · 10/02/2020 22:43

Android phone here but using Chrome not the app. It is taking me several goes to open every thread.

AutumnCrow · 10/02/2020 22:43

Yep, two days of random thread-opening nonsense using Chrome / android tablet.

I might as well have an infinite number of monkeys hammering away, then at least I'd get a thread on someone building a willow cabin at their gate before the MN problem's finally fixed.

Justmuddlingalong · 10/02/2020 22:33

Chrome on android here. Trying to open a particular active thread opens any one of five or six above or below. TIO is the same. Pain in the arse.

MsMarvel · 10/02/2020 18:58

Same!! Mobile site n android, dont use the app.

Its a real pain in the ass and worse than it ever was. Surely sometime this year is a shit timescale for something thats causing lots of users issues..??

PortiaCastis · 10/02/2020 18:52

I'm not using the app either but the mobile site

Apileofballyhoo · 10/02/2020 18:49

It's happening to me for threads I'm on too, opening the wrong one. In fact, that's why I'm actually here right now. And when I tap to write a post I get into the name box or to previous or next.

Sometimes I sit there waiting for the ads to load before I click just to be sure, but it takes ages.

Hercwasonaroll · 10/02/2020 18:48

Chrome on android and glad it's not just me.

Later this year is too late Shock

MrMeSeeks · 10/02/2020 18:43

I don’t use the app!!!
I’m on the mobile site and this is driving me crazy!!

PortiaCastis · 10/02/2020 18:38

It is hit and miss which thread will open when you want to read a specific one so surely we won't have to wait until later on in the year for a fix

SheldonSaysSo1 · 10/02/2020 18:35

I'm having the same problem using chrome on an android phone. Updating the app won't help this

Updating the app won't help me - I'm using Chrome.

The advert panels do make the page jump, but which thread actually opens seems to be totally random. And it was sorted since the last time - it's only been the last week that it's come back.

I'm not using the app! It ate too muchxh battery.

PorpentinaScamander · 10/02/2020 16:03

I thought it was that to start with Alun but it still does it even if I let the page load. Sometimes to a thread above it, sometimes below. Theres no logic to it.

BookMeOnTheSudExpress · 10/02/2020 16:03

It is 17.01 on my phone (Italy) and I started trying to open this thread at 16.47.

Chrome.

Ridiculous. I have 5 threads in TIO and have read the Mirena coil one about 18 times trying to get here.
Surely you just need the links to be more proficiently routed? How hard can it be?

AlunWynsKnee · 10/02/2020 15:59

Is it not to do with the rendering of the advert panels on the active threads page on the mobile site? If you wait a while the page seems to jump down and then you can click successfully.

PorpentinaScamander · 10/02/2020 15:42

But most of us appear to be using chrome not the app. So updating the app won't help Confused

KittenVsBox · 10/02/2020 14:44

Later this YEAR???
I think you need yo do so ethi g as a temporary patch before then. The odd thread I can deal with, but it's happening to about half the obes j try to open today. Android on a tablet, but using chrome browser.

PortiaCastis · 10/02/2020 14:31

The issue is hugely frustrating, it has taken me 5 attempts to open this thread to read the update, so very very annoying

Hi, just popping back to say we have a plan to make improvements and fixes to the Android app - but unfortunately, it won’t be right now.

We’re hoping to release an update later this year. We appreciate your patience and we will update you on new information and fixes in the app as soon as we can. Flowers

Using chrome on android and keep getting that bloody Ikea thread! It's driving me mad

PortiaCastis · 09/02/2020 18:15

And me, I try to open a specific thread and a completely different one appears, using Chrome on android
