Active constantly refreshing

Why is Active auto refreshing all of a sudden? It's really annoying! I took a screenshot then opened a thread, went back and all new threads (screenshots attached). I see something I want to read but when I go back it's gone.

Glad it’s fixed for some but not for me.

It was OK for a few hours but has reverted back again. Very annoying

So much better!

CancelTheSkip · 29/05/2025 10:58

Yes! Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Very annoying!!! I keep seeing the same posts when I scroll down.

RockyRogue1001 · 28/05/2025 08:18

It is making mn unusable for me

HEC2746 · 27/05/2025 21:53

@JoMumsnet is there no update at all?!

Tatemoderndrawyourown · 27/05/2025 20:06

This is so frustrating please do something about it

Howinthehelldidthishappen · 27/05/2025 13:10

I hate it. I'm really struggling to spend much time on the site. Although, that may be a good thing 😂

ElidaGibbs · 26/05/2025 22:33

I thought it was a problem with my phone! Yes, it's very frustrating - please fix it, MNHQ.

SleepingisanArt · 26/05/2025 22:24

The 'issue' will be that a developer has made a change to the site software and not properly tested the whole site before publishing it. I was a software tester for a number of years and developers test the bit they've updated but forget that a change in one part can break a different area, hence the need for testers (who behave like end users). Like others I'm spending less time on the site because it's too frustrating - do MN even care about their users?

motherstongue · 26/05/2025 22:12

I’m also not enjoying this happening

BrightOrangeDahlias · 26/05/2025 20:07

Following and adding my two penn'orth: it's been annoying me over the last few days as well.

unbelieveable22 · 26/05/2025 10:14

Thankfully not just me. It's incredibly frustrating.

dontcryformeargentina · 26/05/2025 10:03

Me too

EveryKneeShallBow · 26/05/2025 09:20

Adding my voice to the chorus. Please fix this, it’s horrible.

user1481837070 · 26/05/2025 09:17

I’m having this too (using safari on my iPad). It happened before and it was fixed. Hoping it can be fixed again. Thanks for looking into this mumsnet.

mechanicalpencil · 25/05/2025 10:31

Yes, same here. I think I’ll have to give it a break as so many issues are sadly making the MN experience so much less enjoyable than before. Scrolling MN on a weekend morning with my tea was one of my favourite weekend activities. I’ve lost a number of interesting looking threads again this morning due to not being able to remember what they were as when I clicked back they were gone and instead all new threads and then trying to rack my brains to remember what they were…
That plus the “repeated error on MN” where the page won’t load… 😟 and just all blank spaces.

HEC2746 · 25/05/2025 09:37

Still happening this morning…

mechanicalpencil · 24/05/2025 22:26

Me too please.

SkibidiSigma · 24/05/2025 19:45

Just come on to post about this, it is driving me bonkers.

DirtyBird · 24/05/2025 12:59

This is happening to me as well. Plus when I usually go back it takes me to the same place on the page but now it’s bumping me back to the top thus I have scroll back down to find the last post I read.

MerylSqueak · 24/05/2025 12:21

I hate it too. While I'm here, I also hate it that thread recommendations at the bottom of the screen are based on things I have already looked at. Thanks but I've already looked at them!

CancelTheSkip · 24/05/2025 12:14

It's been driving me insane! Everything else is OK - if I click on a thread in "I'm watching" the link opens and when I go back to "I'm watching" it is still the same, but Active is constantly changing.

As I'm on my laptop I am having to resort to opening each thread in a new tab so that the Active list doesn't refresh.
