Constantly crashing and freezing.

This is still happening to me, to the extent that I've had to download the app just to respond to this thread as the site is literally unusable. Please, please sort it out.

Thank you so much to @PinkDreamer and @ShikShakShok! I too have tried google rather than safari on my iphone and so far so good Safari had become totally unusable these past few days, taking at least 4 minutes to load the first page, then crashing and freezing pretty much on every other page after that.

I’ve been trying this and it works much better. Maybe Safari is the issue?

It’s working much better now.

Also having the same issue with my iPhone. The website is unusable. However, I’m currently using Google on my iPhone rather than safari and I can use the website without issue

I am so glad I found this. I’ve been having issues too and thought it was my iPad which I was considering changing because I thought it was getting too old. I’ve tried the privacy settings and no change for me.

Really awful today. When the thread titles finally loaded I still couldn’t scroll up and down them, as the screen was frozen, until the monsoon ad finally loaded in the space on the right. Took about 2 mins.
I then couldn’t come and read if there were any updates for a similar amount of time before finally getting on this thread.

I did this after seeing it worked for others. While it worked for MN, it made the other tabs I had open freeze. Also tried to get into a few apps, all of which froze too

Coincidence maybe but I changed it back just in case

I couldn't get on the Property section at all yesterday morning. It just went to a white screen and did nothing! The other boards I frequent all seemed ok though.

Still happening to me on my iPad. My Google phone is fine.

I know this is ages since OP, but it is happening to me too / on iPhone. I think linked to huge adverts?

This has actually fixed the issue for me, site doesn’t constantly crash and reload anymore. Plus my phones not getting so hot and the sites not draining my battery as quick either.

I still can’t access MN at all on my iPad but it works on my phone. On the phone the adverts still take ages to load but it doesn’t freeze, although sometimes it does reload. What is very noticeable is that the phone quickly becomes very hot.

I find when I first load up mumsnet I get a blank screen under the talk header and it takes ages to load. It doesn’t happen on any other site.

Writing this post is taking a while as it delays when I type.

Is there any update please? For the past few days, when I try to access MN on my phone, I get the home page from which I click on active conversations. It then takes 4-5 minutes for the page to load, meaning I get half a list of active conversations listed but unable to scroll up or down. Given that I use MN mostly on my phone I am seriously hacked off and desperately looking for a different forum.

Even when I manage to get the page loaded, I can usually access 3-4 pages without issues, then it goes back to freezing. It is honestly driving me mad

I’m having these problems too. Page freezes and can’t scroll down, refresh the page and I will let me click to read one post then freezes again. I changed the privacy settings as suggested. Any other solutions would be great

I have this problem constantly on my iPhone 8. Just seems to take ages to load adverts. I’ve been on MN for years but this is new. I think, if it isn’t fixed I’m going to have to give up with mn as it is so frustrating

My phone feels hot to touch and rapid battery draining again was ok for a week or so iOS

Seems particularly bad today!

It had improved for a while but it's as bad as ever again now and my iPad noticeably gets hotter when it does.

It's been a nightmare for months. I thought it was my old iPad, and eventually bought a new one. Marginally better, but not enough to make it a pleasant experience.
If it wasn't for FWR, I wouldn't bother with MN at all.

@HebeMumsnet that solution worked for me (iPhone, had just updated software, safari). It has stopped the site freezing for me, the ads that previously took ages to load now still take ages, but I can scroll while they load.

Did the privacy settings. Seemed to help at first but it's crashing and freezing again now.
