…why?

It’s 2021. Isn’t there a better platform?

It's not unusual for MN. I often think it's me but no, my bb is excellent and everything else loads instantly.

BackforGood · 31/07/2021 21:50

Ironically, got 'Page not found' as tried to open this thread Grin

Has been struggling all evening.

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 31/07/2021 21:49

Same here, extremely slow to load pages and the odd ‘oops’ message.

Data, safari and elderly iPhone here.

GiantToadstool · 31/07/2021 21:44

Yup
I always have trouble scroling past adverts in theeads (it kind of sticks) but today has been unmanageable.

SpindleWhorl · 31/07/2021 21:44

Ah, that explains why it seems to be so shite ... it is actually shite Grin

WorraLiberty · 31/07/2021 21:42

It's like wading through treacle and has been since about 4pm for me.

SquirrelFan · 31/07/2021 21:39

Yes. Thought it was my ancient laptop...

LumpySpacedPrincess · 31/07/2021 21:38

Same....taking aaaaaaggggggggeeeeeeeessssssss......

AnneLovesGilbert · 31/07/2021 21:35

It’s really bad. What’s up MNHQ?

TrainspottingWelsh · 31/07/2021 21:35

I thought it was my broadband too, but everything else is working fine. 90's dial up is a bit complementary. It's more akin to sharing 2G as a mobile hotspot with a dozen people.

Surely you don't have to wait for users to flag up poor performance?

Chloemol · 31/07/2021 21:25

It’s driving me nuts. I have to keep refreshing in the hope that works

@FionaMumsnet

Righto, thank you! We're flagging this up as we speak.
Thank you @FionaMumsnet!

Is there a wider conversation to be had, though?

MN feels very antiquated. And I’m fairly certain y’all are not short of a bob or two. Wink

Is there are way to improve things more generally?

TeaandHobnobs · 31/07/2021 21:19

Ditto here

KittenKong · 31/07/2021 21:19

I thought it was just me.

Another 50p in the meter I think.

@FionaMumsnet

Hi all,

So sorry about this! @GetTaeFuck, what happens when you try to report a post?

The wheel just spins, although the comments are gone now
lavenderandwisteria · 31/07/2021 21:11

Shall we all wear 90s fashion and play oasis and the spice girls to get in the mood? Grin

tribpot · 31/07/2021 21:10

Getting 503 errors as well now.

TheBullfinch · 31/07/2021 21:07

I’ve taken to stabbing at threads repeatedly to get them to load.

Glad it’s not just me suffering. It is indeed like being back in 1999, trying to read iVillage! Grin

It’s absolutely crap tonight ….. again

BinkyRidesForth · 31/07/2021 21:02

I also thought it was my Wi-fi! Why is it so bad?!

TooBigForMyBoots · 31/07/2021 21:01

It's pretty much awful every weekend now.

dementedpixie · 31/07/2021 20:59

Yep, it's awful tonight
