For the love of God

I’m having issues too with longer threads. And it used to work fine all on one page. And often the typing lags horribly. So frustrating.

using Safari on iPad.

and while we are at it when will the capitalisation on new paragraphs be addressed?

You can choose the 100 posts per page setting. This is what I do now. I much prefer no pages, but it was just not workable any more. I wish MN would acknowledge as much.

Ditto everyone else, I thought it my v old iphone se (safari & ‘see all’ user) or an issue with a particular topic (as that’s were the longest threads I read are usual from)

Glad it’s neither of the above and is a site issue. Hoping that means normal service will resume.

OTOH it is has helped reduce how much time I spend/want to spend on MN when little else (even adverts) has managed that <insert your own emoji as mine take too long to load>

Oh, us this why MN is so crap on longer threads? I am not changing to 25 posts per page because that would be a very frustrating experience. I have just come to accept that after about 300 posts, that thread is no longer one I can read. Crap really.

I do use the 1000 posts and I don't want to go to 40 pages, or whatever. I like having it all on one page. It's ridiculous that this no longer works.

I've been having similar issues for months. Tabs crashing or freezing when I go back to them and having to reload constantly. Not loading properly so page is blank, etc.

Extremely laggy/delayed typing and deleting which started more recently.
Only happens on MN. I'm using Samsung mobile site, android, Windows 10, I think. I'm not a premium user. Puts me off using the site, tbh.

Serendipity, thanks for clarifying. I have been resorting to a similar less-techie workaround of sorts.

I type my reply in Googlemail drafts and then paste it into the MN text box, having just re-opened that mn thread so that it is fresh.

But I have to be quick and hope I can use the MN formatting in time to post before the MN page freezes or crashes, which can happen right up to and including the time I hit POST.

If I lose, I can go back to Gmail drafts to recover the text of the message and try again, if I can be bothered. Often I cannot.

Frustrating and a waste of my time.

My app (android) has started crashing for no reason. Just closes in the middle of reading a thread. Along with the ridiculousness of laptop chrome (windows 10).

@SerendipityJane what is your workaround? What is ITIL?

I'm using Chrome on Windows10 and it's been achingly slow for weeks now, plus crashes all the time - I often get memory exceeded messages.

I have my preferences set to 100 posts a page, and while I understand what you're saying about setting to 25, I don't want that! And it used to work perfectly fine with the 100 page posts, so something has definitely changed in the last few weeks or couple of months.

So that's a no then? 😂

MN, are you under a DDOS attack over the last few days?

Everything everybody said.

That last few days, the site has become unusable for me. I cannot barely post anything on the Ukraine thread which is now 780 posts:

What discussion board says you have to limit your page to 25 posts to be able to even work? I get the pages will take longer to load but it should not crash, lose my posts mid-way, take forever to load, then freeze within minutes.

I hate to say this but mn, you got to sort your tech shit out. This started after the upgrade to give us more ads. Well that works.

Nothing says "good morning" better than MN repeatedly crashing Edge - twice in quick succession this morning, requiring me to restart computer as it blacked everything.

You get long, lively threads but make it impossible to join in reliably. Can you please expedite getting the (pre-replatforming) stability of longer page views back? You kept these in Classic because of user demand. You still have the sane users (ie content generators) here and asking for the status quo ante

This morning's error message:
ColorWatcher.exe - Application Error
The error was unknown

I’m a premium user and I really want the view 1000 posts function back. The pages thing is rubbish.

mine isn’t freezing but I don’t post much.

when do we get 1000 posts back.

Any update on this?

error message I’ve not seen before - encountered this morning whilst trying to read a thread 198 posts long

not even posting on it, just reading/scrolling and the page froze, error messages, then Edge crashed

What do we do if we don't want to switch to pages?
I have this issue on any thread above about 300 posts so not even long ones (iPhone 11, safari) but I don't want to switch to pages. Can you fix it for whole thread view please?
