Good news @HoskinsChoice . If anyone else is still having this issue, please do let us know and if you can tell us where you were on the site and what else was happening that would be really helpful, too.

HoskinsChoice · 10/01/2026 11:27

I may be tempting fate here... I think it's fixed! 🤞

Howinthehelldidthishappen · 10/01/2026 10:24

It hasn't happened yet today, but i have had it over the last 2 days. Last night was so bad I gave up.
Again just on here, nowhere else

I came on here to complain about the same thing. Its driving me nuts! Scrolling on a thread and it suddenly happens.

Also when im writing a reply, if I scroll up to read a comment it takes me back to all the threads and I have to find the thread I was replying to and carry on writing my comment. Very annoying

Happening to me too. Only on this site.

Exactly what happens to me constantly. Only on Mumsnet, not on any other site.

Happening to me too. Only on MN, no obvious pattern. Samsung

It is getting worse now

Takes ages to reply to threads

This is happening to me too. Not happening on any other websites I'm on. Doesn't seem to coincide with anything in particular. The tab just seems to be reloading frequently which is annoying in itself and then sometimes the error comes up

HarryVanderspeigle · 09/01/2026 17:46

Same here, it's driving me mad. I read some posts then it crashes wiyh the above error, or it refreshes, and I lose my place. Only mumsnet. It's very off putting!

Wilsonthedog · 09/01/2026 16:12

Same. No issue with other websites.

TheMorgenmuffel · 09/01/2026 13:58

Me too, only on mumsnet.
I've not been clicking it because I wasnt sure if it was a fake spammy redirect or not, so i just close the tab.

Thanks all - we're looking into it. In the meantime, do you notice anything in particular when this happens? An advert? Is it on long threads? A certain area of the site only? Any extra information would be a big help!

This is the only site it happens for me on.

It happens when I am just trying to read or scroll down a normal thread.

The threads seem to jump a bit, reload or go back to OP too

But then I get the tab has crashed message and can go back and go into the thread as normal.

It's not happening on anything else at all so it's not my phone/browser/cache etc.

Happens to me on almost every thread I visit. Doesn't matter how many posts / what sub. No adverts that I am noticing.

It's rendering the site unusable for me to be honest.

HoskinsChoice · 09/01/2026 12:51

Any update? It's driving me crackers!

HoskinsChoice · 09/01/2026 00:02

Not ad related I don't think. Not sure about the length of the thread, I think it's pretty consistent though. I only read AIBU so it's always in there for me but it could be site-wide, I wouldn't know.

IncessantNameChanger · 08/01/2026 20:31

Same for me. Not even on long threads and there's no obvious advert.

I get that message too and not on other sites.

BlackCoffeeAndSugar · 08/01/2026 17:31

Same only on mumsnet since yesterday.

OnePercentBetterEachDay · 08/01/2026 15:29

Happening to me too. Only on MN.

ThisMustBeMyDream · 08/01/2026 15:06

Yes, happening for me since yesterday. Only on mumsnet. Same as the screenshot above. Samsung s23 using Samsung browser.

Megifer · 08/01/2026 14:47

Happening to me too, only on this site. When im replying or scrolling on a thread. Can't do a screen recording as theres no guessing when it will do it.

Crunchymum · 08/01/2026 14:44

I also get the screen reloading without the error too? It kind of goes blank and then goes back to where I was? Again only on MN.
