To wonder why I keep being thrown into threads I didnt select

Which page were you on when the link skipping occurred Active
Were you logged in or logged out In
Which device are you using (Phone and Operating system) Android, Chrome

Which is the same as last time IT wanted to know.

Yes happens to me too. Usually I enter threads via "active threads", unsure if it happens elsewhere. I assume it is caused by a delay in the ad's loading.

Hi, I'm on Active conversations, logged in, using a Samsung S10. I've sent a short screencast to mnhq to show the issue. It might help.

Happens often on my phone (Android). Used to happen on iPad until I installed an adblocker. It seems to be because the pages take ages to load the ads.

It is... I've just had a good look and the Active/ trending header loads after the rest of the threads, which bumps it down. So when someone goes to click a thread, they end up clicking one/ two threads higher.

I think there might be a lag in the loading. It seems as though the page jumps during selection of threads.

Aagggghhhhhhhh
I dont look after my childrens skin
I dont want to enterva sky scanner competition
I want to click on a thread called 'Greggs'. It is not even on the same fecking page as your sponsored links, so I am not clicking them by mistake.

We have asked and asked for updates on this thread and no one from mnhq has bothered to answer us.

I love mumsnet, but so frustrated with this issue and the lack of interest from MN, my interest is waning at a rate of knots. I am spending a lot less time here now, and will certainly be spending a lot less in the future.
At least the housework is getting done.

After 5 minutes going back and forth I finally clicked on this thread to say: bump.

Please fix this.

@LilyMumsnet (MNHQ)

Any update? Getting worse and worse!!!

This happens to me all the time, and seems to be getting worse, its gone from a couple of threads away to what I select, to threads that aren't even showing on my screen. Shooting themselves in the foot by not sorting this but still asking for money, perhaps remove the banner from the active page and just show it within a thread?

I thought it was just me! It's so annoying

IV list my 'bottom bar' thingy with all my options on it as well!! Really annoying

@00100001 I know what you mean, I have done that on many an occasion, this is completely different.
This takes you to a thread that is often not actually on my screen - i would have to scroll up to see it. Bizarrely, a lot of the time it takes me to a sponsored post near the top of the page when I am clicking on a thread near the bottom iyswim.

Still nothing to feedback MNHQ?

This whole subscription thing..you're making yourselves look quite ridiculous.

Well, if MN really are struggling then perhaps they had little choice.

This bug in particular is the primary reason I didn't subscribe, it feels a little stupid to pay for something which works so poorly.

@MNHQ. Any chance of getting it fixed?

its because of the ads taking FOREVER to load and the pages then 'jump' so you inadvertently open the thread 2 above. its always happened to me, worse on mobile site. i have just got into the habit if waiting for the jump before clicking,

there will be nothing MNHQ can do, unless they get the ads to load before the content

Yesterday was awful and there doesn't appear to be any difference today.
This whole subscription thing..you're making yourselves look quite ridiculous.

@MNHQ update please? Did the tech team 'look into it'? Or is it just being ignored again?

There's absolutely no way I would even consider paying for a website that can't sort out such a basic thing.

This problem has been really dreadful today...no improvement at all! And yes, I was brought back to this thread when trying to open another one!

In my phone browser I now 'hold' links instead of clicking them. This gives me a little pop up showing the thread title and asking if I want to open in a new window. It means I can check the link is correct before loading

Still no update MNHQ?
I have just made 4 attempts to click on a thread unsuccessfully.

Just about had enough for today - had similar this afternoon. Pay for it? Seriously?

Sorry, just so bloody frustrated

Oh my god this started happening to me a few weeks ago and it's so fucking annoying! I just assumed it was my phone being slow to load. Good to know it's not just my crappy phone! 😂

Happening ALL THE FUCKING TIME today.
