Is MN unusable for anyone else or is it just me?

The re-loading is driving me mad. When it finished re-loading, I then have to scroll down to find where I had read up to. The adverts are also a real problem. There’s constantly a video playing in the too right hand corner. It takes up a lot of space and is really distracting. There also seem to be more and more adverts interspersed between posts.

Shite for me too - taking ages to load, pages hanging, half loading, page freezing so none of the links work, constant refreshes.

iPhone 14, safari.

The site is unusable on my Chrome… constantly freezes. I suspect it’s something to do with adverts trying to load.

No not really. It’s stopped loading, gone black, and told me it had an unrecoverable error, or some message like that, three times tonight.

I’m having this problem now. Had to come into private browsing just to be able to click into the box to reply.

Safari, most up to date version. We have a mobile 5G data hub and the first thing to stop working tonight was the formatting buttons. Tapping them just highlighted the advert above them. Next, I stopped being able to click into threads from my notifications page.

Been in bad weekend for gremlins

It’s absolutely terrible

Yes! Pages not loading, bookmarks not working, threads jumping back to the top. It’s rubbish !

Great. Thanks Becky.

I usually use Firefox on a PC Windows desktop. Same issues on Edge too, and I think I might have tried Chrome a while ago. No VPNs, good line connection (not wi-fi), no extensions.

I'm usually on Relationship and Women's Right forums, but I think this is effecting every forum right now. No errors.

I enter the forum itself with too much hassle, but it's clicking the individual threads and posting that is the issue. I click, and then there a blank screen (where it's clear I'm still on the Mumsnet website but it's not loading the webpage content). If I refresh over & over again, it will eventually load, but I usually have to do that 10 times in order to get it to do that and it's just hard work!!

Then when I finally access the individual thread, it's the same problem when I try to navigate further pages into that thread. When I try to post, it goes on cursor and doesn't refresh the page, but sometimes, when I've gone back into the thread to check, it has posted for some reason, but not other times!

It was never like this before this summer. Never encountered anything like this, and definitely not this longstanding, on any other website.

It;s almost unusable on mine now.

I have a good internet connection, yet I have to try and refresh or click on a thread about 10 times to get them to load sometimes. When I post, it mostly goes on a cursor and never loads the thread again with my reply in it (which is happening here now too).

Have tried on both Firefox and Edge and it's the same. This shouldn't be happening with such a large website, and they need to have stern word with whoever is managing that aspect of their business.

@HebeMumsnet I’m having the same issue on my iPad. Mumsnet is fine on my iPhone but super slow on my iPad. Takes forever to load! It’s very frustrating.

I’m having the same issue in the app on iPhone, it’s so slow and regularly closes and I have to restart the app

I’m having the same issues using a chrome browser on my iphone too (haven’t got the MN app). Been happening for a week or two now.
Pages taking forever to load or only partially loading and freezing completely Phone also gets really, really hot.
So frustrating!

@HebeMumsnetjust to let you know, the issue I commented about is still happening.

That's interesting. I've noticed that when it freezers, it's always when I reach an advert.

Same for me OP. It’s painful to use, and incognito only. Or via gmail if I have been tagged. Iphone 14.

I often have issues and have to clear the browsing cache. I would guess it's something related to the advertising service MN use.

It's started freezing again, for me. I have to close the site and open it again to get back on track. It was doing that on Friday and Saturday, okay yesterday, doing it again today. I'm on Chrome and not having issues with any other site.

It takes an age to load (if it ever does) if I'm on Chrome, so I've had to switch to DuckDuckGo, but even then, it will load pages in a different place to where I've bookmarked, so I have to scroll through tons of posts I've already read. Annoying!

Mine keeps reloading when I’m in the middle of reading a message halfway through a page, it then takes enough time to load up and find my place again that I cba reading any more. It also kept forcing me to use the username I keep for talking about fertility issues and miscarriages on the app, like I’d switch to this username and it would automatically change to the one I reserve for really personal chats, so I deleted the app. I did email mn about it but all they could do each time was offer to change the name/delete the message (not fix the actual issue). So I very rarely use Mumsnet anymore. A shame as I’m a pretty lonely person!

Mines been rubbish for about a week. I don't seem to be getting many new threads just the same ones repeated if that makes sense.
