Dear MN, you are basically unusable.

I had this and mnhq did eventually tell me what to do. I genuinely can’t remember, I had to go into my iPad settings and clear something. But touch wood it’s been fine since.

It’s been months of it, as a result I’m using the site a lot less than I did. At one point it seemed a lot better on chrome than safari, but now it just seems to being chrome to a halt too.

and I don’t want to download another browser. No other website does this to my phone.

On my iPad, viewing by safari I continually crash and get the message 'a problem repeatedly occurred'.

I don't want to do things like 'access via a browser app', mainly because I don't have a clue what that means!

So I resort to accessing on my android phone. But on there, I cannot make the font any bigger. Again, have no idea why. I increase the font size on the phone but MN stays the same. I have to stretch every page with my fingers, then it pings back to default size when I move to the next page.

Would appreciate any suggestions on either issue, but only ones that a non techy person can understand 🤣🤣😭😭

@SeedyHotel- same here have now resorted to the app - perhaps that was the intention of the owners. I’ve also tried the same solutions as you e.g.regularly clearing cookies etc.
if I ever try to load it not only does it still freeze/fail to load, if then affects subsequent websites that I try to access as it keeps trying to revert back to Mumsnet (and freezing again and again) even when I’ve navigated away.

I have the same issue but to a significantly lower level with certain online newspapers with multiple ads. The type you have to agree to all cookies, or pay to view. Usually I get through on a second or third attempt but this doesn’t work with Mumsnet at all.

I don’t have a problem on my iPad, but it’s bad on my phone. So many ads. Far more than in the past. I know sites have to make money, but does it have to be so many now?

Same here.

Just get a blank white page when the annoying ad fails to load that is totally frozen.

Works a little better on Firefox browser, as opposed to Safari.

Yep same here. I have very strict filters on my Wi-Fi at home and I struggle too because of ads not fully loading and the site freezing if I use any of the mainstream browsers. I noticed it worked much better when I was overseas on a less restrictive Wi-Fi. I don’t have a paid subscription to MN.

I’m still suffering with random webpage refresh on Chrome iPhone. It’s so annoying that I just close the page.

Have you tried access via a browser app such as DuckduckGo, Brave or Ghostery? Its worth a try and will confirm if the problem is the more intrusive and clunky ads/cookies.
