I can barely post more thAn one word at a time, which is now a lie, because I'm posting a complete sentence!

I'm on a Samsung and the keyboard disappears when the advert disappears, rather than the advert disappears when you start typing. When the advert is there, the keyboard stays static. When the ad disappears, the keyboard disappears and you end up hitting a trending topic and losing the whole post. But there's no pattern to the advert disappearing. It flashes on and off randomly. It's very frustrating.

I don't need a clock. I knew when it was midnight because my post disappeared and the whole site jumped about this time, taking me from one thread to another.

I can only think that there's an automatic timed update on some software somewhere that kicks in at midnight.

Yep. Just kicked in for me at midnight too. I wonder when it stops? Does anyone actually know? I'm up quite late often and it's problematic throughout the early hours but I don't know what time it resolves itself!

...and I swapped to my laptop to post that, because there wasn't a cat in hell's chance of getting that posted on my phone.

Interesting, I’m testing it with the ad in view and do have the problem, as soon as the ad isn’t in view it (the problem) does seem to go away.

LovedayCL · 07/03/2022 23:12

Now the ad is in view for some reason and the issue is happening!

LovedayCL · 07/03/2022 23:11

The ad disappears for me when I click in the text box. It’s not doing the issue right now though.

RobertSmithsLipstick · 07/03/2022 22:49

Lets have a go and find out...

No, it seems fine. For now!

Theworldisfullofgs · 07/03/2022 20:33

Is the site playing up for anyone else?

cuno · 07/03/2022 19:14

The ad is always in view on Android for me, when typing as well. But the keyboard bug doesn't always happen. It's not happening right now and the ad is in view while typing. Like others said it seems to start at midnight.

Hi all

Thanks so much for the patience here.

We've been trying to replicate this behind the scenes - it only happened for us when the advert was in view.

Can we ask you to try typing when the ad is not in view?

On Iphone the ad disappears when you click to type a message, is this the same for android?

Let us know and we'll report this back to our developers.

FlibbertyGiblets · 07/03/2022 12:21

Happened to me just now, the first (GMT) daytime oopsie, as reported previously, the issue occurs majority of the time at night...

DaisyTheUnicorn · 07/03/2022 07:32

Can mumsnet at least explain why this is? This isnt a problem Ive ever had before on any other site!

DaisyTheUnicorn · 07/03/2022 07:31

I only got 5 words and lost it. Just typed very slowly to do this.

Shesmyperson · 07/03/2022 04:44

And again. Can only type a few letters at once.
