Site continually crashing and reloading

It’s like MN are deliberately trying to run MN down, and I don’t know why.

Ok, in the spirit of fairness and being helpful I have gone back to Safari and tried mumsnet on there once again.
If I click the cross on the most annoying advert it does stay closed for the session.
The advert at the top of the page takes a good 10 seconds to load and there are still moving adverts that I can't close on the right.
Scrolling down the page was very jolty.
As I was reading a thread the page was reloaded twice because a 'problem occurred'.
Will return to the other browser for now because it still isn't good enough.

The video pops up again almost straight away after I use the x. And it makes me lose my place as it scrolls back to the top.

Closing the video makes no difference at all.

Site is still freezing. Clicking onto links to threads, different boards, notifications links, etc often takes two or three goes for it to “register”.

And I’m getting mightily fed up of getting halfway through typing out a detailed (and hopefully useful) post of advice, to then have the site crash/reload and all my typing is gone. I then give up because I can’t be arsed to do it again.

This is still the only site I use that makes my device run hot and it drains the battery life much quicker.

Yep closing the video makes no difference.

The closing of the video makes zero difference.

@BeckyAMumsnet hi it’s makes no difference to the reloading-freezing if i click on the moving ad “x” & remove it, still does it regardless.
layout now back to normal.

Page layout now back to normal all very odd.

Has the page layout changed this morning trending is underneath the end of a page & active/im watching etc is on a bar at the bottom of the page was a bit confused it’s still reloading though every time you click on a new thread or change page.

Still happening.

The only visible advert while this is happening, is ‘Play Today’s Guessword’, if that helps to mention

AHH this explains why the site appears to have been so quiet over the weekend. Mind you could be gardening fans and spring cleaning fans laying down their phone

It looks a total mess. iPhone 13, google chrome.
I’d like the same Active, I’m On etc navigation bar to appear top and bottom of the thread.
It s like where’s Wally trying to spot the navigation bar at the bottom of the page at the moment. Does not appear at all at the top

I have the same, the reloading and jumping to bottom of page. Losing half written posts which before would save in draft automatically

I also don’t get the navigation bar that used to be around to go to Active, watching, threads I’m on etc. I have to pull down the arrow in the top right hand corner and get those options that way.

I know the owners want to seek but they’re trying to sell a site that’s extremely difficult to engage with as a poster (rather than just a reader). Posters populate the site for free and make the site a lot of money. Stop making it so difficult or the site dies and with it a good resource for women.

I’d be interested to know, if people who have premium also have these issues.

If MN are planning on selling as pp said, one would think, they’d want the site to be in complete working order,to be able to sell.

Oh that’s what happened. The hamster died 🥲

Agree it's getting worse. They need to reboot their server or buy a new hamster. Getting tired of seeing the "dial-up swirls" on every post. Yes I did mean post and not thread!

This is particularly bad this morning. It’s the adverts i think that are too much with small, large, moving and video all in one page and causing it. But we can’t get rid of those to help user expedience which is why it just gets worse🙄 i barely come on here now and when i do im not on long cos its so bloody frustrating

Just had this now when I clicked show quote history (fine) then I did hide quote history. And it had to re load.

I’ve been moaning about the constant refreshing for ages, they don’t care.

Mumsnet is in the process of being sold. They're not going to throw money at the problem now. Perhaps the new owners will

I’m trialling the menu bar disappearing to give more screen space to read threads. I like the extra space. But it’s quite laggy and doesn’t reappear fast enough.

unrelated to that. I also find that I’m reading and scrolling and unbidden the page goes back to the top. Very frustrating.

I don't have a video running so can't close anything.

But I do lose posts I'm in the middle of typing up.

I do still sometimes have the message box with the text still in it even after posting.

If I leave a thread open, with a bookmark on the last post, and I come back it is NEVER at the last read post and even if I refresh the thread it still doesn't return me to the bookmarked post. Why??

Yep same and it’s often unresponsive when I click on links to threads.
