Constantly crashing and freezing.

I'm ready to give up - the site is totally unusable, driving me nuts!!

Same - Internet explorer and also Firefox. Doesn't happen on safari but I rarely use that as I'm not logged in on the phone.
Blank pages after seconds - and the Robot ad. Impossible to use the site,

@OddBoots

Yes, it is spectacularly bad today.

I am glad to read it is not just me. It must have happened 50+ times so far today - I should really get offline and do something else.

Particularly awful this weekend. I have to shut down my iPad and re open every time I click on a thread, even then it’s taking a few minutes to load. It’s practically unusable.

Same here but I'm using Chrome. Does the same thing if I switch to Frost or Tor. It's nothing to do with cookies or cache data, it's a coding problem.

On the upside, I'm spending a lot less time on MN as its just frustrating to be constantly relaunching just to scroll down a few inches.

Today it is unusable on safari on the iphone as it just freezes all the time.

And no, I’m not going to clear cache/ delete cookies as it logs me out of all the other sites I use and clears often useful history that I may want to keep.

@BeckyAMumsnet your site is still consistently freezing and crashing on re visits; ie if I’m looking at other sites then go back to MN; freeze for around 5/10 seconds. Sometimes doesn’t come back, sometimes does.

No other sites are behaving like this. I use about 10 different sites regularly and yours is the only one doing this.

You have some corrupted code somewhere

Edit to add also safari, iPhone 12, 17.6.

I’m also on Safari on iPhone.

Same here (iPad/Safari).

Things seemed to have got better over last month or two but the freezing for long periods whilst ads load has started again.

I did the usual short term fix of deleting cookies and browsing history late Wednesday but this time around that’s only improved things for maybe 48 hours, rather than the week’s plus grace it has generated on previous occasions.

I’m on a couple of other fora that have advertising and this problem only ever happens on MN.

This has started happening to me today. Midway through a thread the page reloads and it's just a blank page. Still, it looks like the McAfee warning has gone now.

I was having these problems, initially just on MN but then started to spread to other sites. At that point I googled it and did something in settings - can’t remember what, but there was loads of advice online - which immediately cleared the problem. Everything now working perfectly.

Could it be that MN is the canary in the coal mine?

Apparently not 🙄
Still freezing for me. Only on Mumsnet, no other site and as a result I use it far less.

Mine was a lot better for ages (inexplicably) but has recently started to freeze again.

I think its actually getting worse. Did my head in yesterday, every single page froze.

Almost 6 months since op started this thread and it’s still not sorted!

I was also having a problem opening up threads.... sometimes opening up a completely different thread 3 or 4 spaces up.

I find this happens if the Active page hasn't fully loaded. (This one is not just MN, happens to me on the BBC News site too. I'm probably just impatient.)

Thanks to whoever recommended private browsing, so far so good.
As well as the freezing, I was also having a problem opening up threads, clicking several times before it would open, and sometimes opening up a completely different thread 3 or 4 spaces up.

Just found this thread - I literally can’t read any thread because of a blank advert which just doesn’t load . Three year old iPhone . Not sure I understand how to get round it ( see posters above had made some suggestions !) . @MNHQ … there is no point selling an advert no one will see if people stop viewing the site due to the advert blocking use of the site 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is still happening and it's pretty frustrating! Any word on its resolution please?

That's because it doesn't cache anything. Honestly, mumsnet really ought to be able to make a website work without people having to mess about turning caching off.

Meant so clarify, I click on the back button, not the Active button...the Active button would obviously take you back to the top.

It rarely, but sometimes works like it used to, taking me back to that part of the page, but randomly.

Does anyone know why, when I'm on Active threads and scrolling, and I click on a thread, but then go back to the Active page, that it has started to take me back to the top again, then I have to scroll back down to where I was, to see threads after the one I clicked on?
This started about 3 weeks ago.
I'm on an android phone, Samsung Internet.
I've tried clearing cookies. I have an ad blocker, it works well; I couldn't use the site if I didn't have this.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Thank you whoever suggested private browsing up thread. Seems to do the trick.
