Mumsnet thread pages keep refreshing page to be on homepage (shopping adverts)

Hello

When I’m on Mumsnet talk threads, the pages keep refreshing to be on the Mumsnet homepage (endlessly advertising me things to buy). The same goes for if I close my browser or go to a different window and then reopen - all Mumsnet pages seem to automatically refresh to the homepage / shopping adverts.

Not sure I’ve explained that very clearly…

Is anyone else having the same issue?

Same here and came onto site stuff to see if others are having the same problem. I usually have a few threads open on tabs in the place I last left them so I can go back to easily later but then when I refresh the page it just reverts to the homepage.

Hi all - thanks for letting us know. We're still unable to recreate the issue so please bear with us while we figure out what is happening here. In the first instance, please clear your cache. If you need help with this, let us know. Also please tell us when it started happening along with your device and browser if you've not already told us.

Thank you.

I’m getting the same thing - agree it’s very annoying. Chrome app on iPhone

Yes it’s driving me insane I have tabs open and when I go back to them it’s a shopping/advertising page, safari iPhone, please can you sort this @LilyMumsnet

It started with me yesterday. So frustrating. I usually have 2-5 Mumsnet tabs open but they all keep refreshing to the top of the homepage. Also using Safari, on iPhone.

Hi all

We're not currently able to replicate this.

Can we please ask you to clear your Mumsnet cache, and ask when this started happening? If anyone isn't on Safari, can you let us know what browser it is that you're using?

What does clear my Mumsnet cache mean?

it’s happening on safari.

Yep, In the same camp and hugely annoying.

I should add, it doesn’t happen every time, but it does happen the majority of the time, especially if I navigate away from that window for a few minutes or more. Which is annoying when I want to keep a thread open for reference (eg recipe threads).

@LilyMumsnet thanks - have done so.

@CesareBorgia thank you. Good to have reassurance it isn’t a ‘just me’ issue!

Yes - I am. Safari desktop.
