Thanks, we agree - there are definitely some browser related issues going on too!

Just to repeat what I said earlier, I have had no problems since I moved from the Chrome browser Edge.

@Throckmorton we're really sorry to hear that - we're working hard to resolve all the issues and so we hope that your break will be a v short one.

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g a new advanced search is currently in the testing stage. We v much appreciate that you're persevering and, as I said above, we hope to resolve these issues as soon as we can.

It's perfectly obvious this is something to do with the update. This was not a problem before and now it's a constant. It's worse on very long threads. I find it both on my phone (Android, I don't use the app, so via Chrome) and on laptop (Android and Chrome again).

I assume there must have been some huge benefits for MN to this change, but I have to say there have been no obvious benefits for the users. Lots of features we used to have and took for granted were not there after revamp. Some have been added, for which much thanks, but there's still no decent Advanced Search replacement. Also, the single most important thing about a talk forum is being able to read what others have posted and, if you feel so moved, post a reply, and that's starting to feel like a challenge. You're stuck with me, I'm afraid, as I am addicted (where else can I discuss The Archers? also FWR is worth its weight in gold) but I wouldn't be surprised to learn others are drifting away.

Don't forget we are always needed new members for the mumsnet mafia.

One thing may also help, @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet is sometimes it's the browser itself that is crashin, as I was using eBay, and it jammed or crashed same way sometimes as it does on mumsnet, so I wonder if it's part browser based issues too

@LilyMumsnet - the site is unusable I'm afraid; can you message me when the issue is fixed and I'll come back to mumsnet, but for now I'm stopping using it as I can't read anything without it crashing. Thanks.

Your plane is ready for departure, and ps, have a good flight.

Lost two posts I'd spend several minutes composing, in the last half hour.

Why does it matter how many posts we are viewing? From a functional point of view, nothing should be running/changing while I'm typing into a text box, other than the contents of the textbox itself.

I see adverts do change constantly, so I assume it's an advert crashing the page.

Hi

It's really helpful our end because we think this has an impact on the crashing. Can you let us know how many?

Throckmorton · 19/07/2022 17:00

Thanks. To be honest it happens with every single page I open

JoMumsnet · 19/07/2022 10:16

Thanks for including the link to the thread, @Throckmorton - that's very helpful. We're still investigating this issue and will update you as soon as we can. We're sorry again that this is taking so long to resolve.

Throckmorton · 19/07/2022 09:00

The video adverts may be contributing - they take ages to load and slow the whole page down. It puts me off whatever they are advertising to be honest.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 19/07/2022 06:59

I’m on iPad safari if it helps you. But I doubt it will.

I feel like MN is dying a slow death.

Throckmorton · 18/07/2022 20:36

Just as bad with the settings set to only 25 posts. This one just crashed on me: www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4592473-rats-in-garden

Throckmorton · 18/07/2022 18:24

I have this issue with evey single MN page I load - galaxy phone. I'm using MN much much less these days as its become unusable. Sorry MN.

LilyMumsnet · 18/07/2022 17:36

Thanks all, we really do appreciate the extra information being provided here.
We will continue to keep you updated on this issue. Flowers

DobbyTheHouseElk · 18/07/2022 13:32

Since the update MN is unusable. Pages freeze, don’t load, ads cause the pages to float. It’s not worth the effort. Im out.

Yarnasaurus · 17/07/2022 10:46

I'm getting this daily on the Ukraine thread.

Page randomly doesn't fully load, refreshes and takes me back to the beginning or end, or to some random spot on the thread. Refreshing the page sometimes works, but sometimes it all just freezes and I have to re-load the site.

I'm on 1000 posts a page as the ability to switch on thread was removed in the update.

iPhone, Safari, latest iOS.

Willowkins · 17/07/2022 10:37

Just an update: I've switched to Edge and it works much better than Chrome.

Athenajm80 · 16/07/2022 23:01

No URL as it's on the app for some of us. It happens on long threads for me, like the Cap'n thread in Litter Tray

Craftycorvid · 15/07/2022 21:55

IPhone Safari user - site is nearly unusable at the moment. Continuously crashing with the message ‘a problem repeatedly occurred’.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 15/07/2022 14:48

Thanks, everyone for your patience - we know it's probably running out at this stage but we're really keen to get to the bottom of it. We're currently trying to replicate the issue and so it would really help if you could share the URL of the page that's crashed. Thank you.

WinterMusings · 14/07/2022 07:39

@LilyMumsnet

it still keeps crashing on me too. I'm getting really fed up of composing a post only to lose it.

still on iPhone, latest iOS. I don't have 'pages' so unlimited or whatever it is.

i hope it can be fixed soon, I'm losing the will!!

and again, can someone please look into the non capitalisation at the beginning of a paragraph. It's working mid paragraph now. It's a simple fix.

thanks.

Willowkins · 14/07/2022 07:34

This is happening to me too. I'm on a Nokia G10. Also, when you press see next or see all, nothing happens. I'd think it was buffering except that I don't even see the line at the top of the page. I've reduced the number of posts per page but it doesn't help.
