I have cleared my cache for MN and switched iPad on and off and it is not right still, it seems fine on my iMac and iPhone though and was always ok on my iMac so am just using those for now, hopefully it will be ok later on my iPad. It must be something to do with iPad Safari as I think that is probably different version to iPhone and iMac

Could you try browsing in incognito and let us know if the issue persists on there?

User17956743 · 25/10/2022 16:06

On iPad and just deleted todays history and it seems ok now

Same here I have also had these problems where my screen went like that, I have just had to delete all of my search history and cookies, now it’s back to normal.

This has started happening to me on my phone today

Having to use my laptop to use mn

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 25/10/2022 14:31

Is anyone trying to fix this?
It's horrible!

Plasmodesmata · 25/10/2022 13:59

I can use on my laptop and all good, but my phone is still showing the weird version. (Android phone).

I had to open a different browser just to find this thread, as the problem makes Chrome so unusable.

Shutting and restarting chrome didn't help, although a few hours earlier, just starting a new tab did.

Anyway, if you are reading this, and using Chrome, try pressing Ctrl and F5 key simultaneously while browsing. Apparently, this clears the cache for just the site you are on.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 25/10/2022 11:34

Chromebook and desktop - I think!
Sorry to be clueless.

SirChenjins · 25/10/2022 11:34

Seems to be working ok again now - no cache clearing needed

DawnMumsnet · 25/10/2022 11:21

@KimberleyClark - glad it's worked for you, too.

@BewitchedBotheredandBewildered - can you please let us know which device and which version of the site you're using? (desktop/mobile/app). Thank you.

Have tried closing safari, powering off my iPad and powering it on again, still happening

Clearing cache worked for me too.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 25/10/2022 11:02

I don't know how to do that.

DawnMumsnet · 25/10/2022 10:56

@kittensinthekitchen - glad to hear that clearing your cache has helped.

Apparently this was a CloudFlare issue (but please don't ask me what that means) Blush

DawnMumsnet · 25/10/2022 10:53

@BewitchedBotheredandBewildered sorry to hear that. Can you please let us know what happens if you use Incognito mode?

kittensinthekitchen · 25/10/2022 10:53

Thanks @DawnMumsnet , clearing cache seems to have worked for me.

What was the cause though? I hadn't changed anything on my phone or browser (Samsung mobile) so it must have been something on your end?

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 25/10/2022 10:50

Arrgghh! Clearing hasn't worked for me!

DawnMumsnet · 25/10/2022 10:44

@SoupDragon glad things seem to be back on track for you now, whatever it was that sorted it Smile

Do let us know if you have any more problems.

SoupDragon · 25/10/2022 10:42

Soubriquet · 25/10/2022 10:36

I had that. It went back after 10 mins

Mine did the first time but then wouldn't go away. Took me ages to track down the teeny tiny "post" button in amongst all the huge text 😂

That's good to hear, @Augend23 - it worked for me, too. I'd been having problems on and off this morning...

@SoupDragon can you give it a go too?

I'd already cleared the website data for Mumsnet - that alone didn't fix it. Whether it was that plus shutting Safari completely or just shutting Safari that fixed it I don't know. (Just shutting the MN tab didn't work either - I tried that first).

seems to still be OK now though.

Clearing the cache has sorted it out for me. Should have tried that as well as closing it and reopening. Thanks Dawn :)
