Constantly crashing and freezing.

Safari is pretty much unusable now for mn

New issue today. As I am reading a thread, it keeps closing and taking me back to active conversations!!

That is a useless answer from MN. How are you supposed to make contact with them when the screen has frozen? Am I meant to have their phone number saved??

Honestly, I am not that committed to MN that I am willing to go to that bother....

I have been having the same problem too, ever since I updated to IOS 18.1.1. The most recent update hasn’t helped either.

I decided to try a different browser today - Firefox - and it is so much better - I was having issues with other sites on Chrome too - not just MN - and they are all loading and running smoothly on Firefox.

There's another thread going on about this - all MN keep saying is to make contact with them whilst you're online, so they can see the issue. Makes no sense. I think it's the volume of adverts they have on here, but what do I know 🤷‍♀️😅

I gave up the other day after waiting nearly 10 mins for MN to load, I only took the first screen shot after I’d already been waiting a few minutes.

Today I have had to constantly shut down and reopen/refresh a ridiculous number of times just to be able to read the op about the poster who’s DH hasn’t spoken to her for 5 weeks because it wouldn’t let me scroll up to read the whole thing. I’ve given up trying to read the (hopefully helpful) responses or what’s actually happened.

No response from MNHQ?

I keep getting a blank page, 4 times in the last few minutes. Been happening for a few days now. Also getting the 'I'm a robot' thing....make that 5 times. I've had to reboot again. Laptop, Microsoft.

Mine is pretty unusable today. Just goes blank when I try to scroll down - returns if I refresh the page but then it happens again.

Mine is the same, safari on iPhone but it isn’t just mumsnet, it’s loads of sites. I get round it by using the Google app to access all sites, but my safari barely functions at all. Through the Google app it’s fine.

Just tentatively popping on to say mine is working without crashing again. Hurrah. The ads aren’t loading- they are just showing a small square with a blue question mark in. I don’t have an ad blocker installed, so it’s not that. Hate the adverts anyway, so it’s ideal for me

If the papers picked this up would that move things along

For Christs sake get a bloody grip of this

C'mon @BeckyAMumsnet @DawnMumsnet etc...

Get this sorted. It is impossible.

On mn (not on any other place) I get pop-ups with a virus warning [click here - which I never do]

Then within 30-60 seconds my mn screen goes blank - just a white page. It is infuriating and makes it impossible to use the site in any meaningful way.

I'm on a PC using firefox.

I'd be sad to lose all the valuable contact and information I get here, but this is impossible, and I'm about to leave.

Perhaps the problem is someone’s fucking with their site, maliciously.

Hackers are clever bastards.

This is me too. Fine on my phone, unbearable on my laptop.

Sorry mumsnet but I've been experiencing issues here also. Keeps lagging, crashing and forcing me onto ads.

They've been asking for evidence of all the different awful things happening for months and it's only got worse and worse. This doesn't happen on any other site, why can't they sort it out?
Edited to say seconds after I went on this I went on the 'butter in fridge' thread and got the fake fucking McAfee Shite.

It has improved no end on my phone. But then I bought a brand new phone. However is is running the same os as the last one.

I've had an email today asking me to do a screen sharing call with someone from mumsnet hq to help them solve this. I am really surprised thst this is not something you can fix easily.

It seems to have stopped on incognito!

I'm glad it's not just me but it's becoming unbearable. Seems to be fine on my phone but I much prefer to use my laptop.

Its even worse. every few seconds please fix this! I'm not clicking on ads, just clicking on a page, then whoosh, a blank screen! 😱Make it stop!!!!!

Are none of you able to replicate this problem; ie try to use MN and see if you get this freezing/crashing, and then give your phone to your tech team to try and understand what’s going on? It seems bizarre you’re not able to get to the root of this.

I'm experiencing this too. Blank page after seconds, it's almost unusable.
