Yep ive reported it this week but still doing it

Ineffable23 · 19/02/2026 12:26

Just had this again today.

Aessedaioftarvalon · 18/02/2026 10:51

Happened again just now on the thread about phones and a ski trip. I didn't notice which ads were playing.

Me too and seems possibly linked to an advert auto playing at the top of the screen.
Chrome on a google phone.

Came here to look for this thread. This has been happening to threads I'm on regularly on an ad hoc basis. There's nothing that stops the automatic scrolling. It's just happened again on the Purdy and Figg thread. No matter how many times you refresh the page, it starts automatically scrolling up.

Thanks, @daisychain01 - we're taking a look now.

daisychain01 · 06/02/2026 07:41

I have two things happening at once @BeckyAMumsnet @JoMumsnet the screen scrolling and the advert that blocks the entire screen. I don't know if they are connected or just coincidence.

the blocking advert is particularly frustrating because the only way to get rid of it is to rotate my screen which then makes my keyboard portrait size, tiny. For someone with sight disability I find it makes the site really difficult to use with all these obstructions making it so much more difficult to use. Oh and the flashing white screen is also damn uncomfortable for someone who uses dark screen mode and then confronted with a white flashing screen every time I change threads.

Thanks again for alerting us to this issue. We're working on a fix and will be back with an update as soon as we can.

HeartyBlueRobin · 05/02/2026 12:14

Me too. Started yesterday and happened just now. Google pixel. I had to refresh a few times to get it to stop.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 05/02/2026 12:10

Me too. Intermittently on my iPhone using Safari.

Songlines · 05/02/2026 12:08

Me too, samsung s20. Happened a few days ago, stopped and then started again today

Mossie123 · 05/02/2026 12:05

Same problem - iPhone using Safari. It’s infuriating! Off to Reddit for my lunchtime scroll instead.

JuneFromBethesda · 05/02/2026 11:29

Me too, on a relatively ancient iPhone. It updated last night so I assumed it was connected to that. It’s maddening.

Mytimetoshite · 05/02/2026 09:52

I've just had this. Samsung phone too. I browsed back to active then landed on this thread!

Aessedaioftarvalon · 05/02/2026 09:51

I have got a screen recording but I don't know how to attach it.🤦‍♀️

Aessedaioftarvalon · 05/02/2026 09:43

Same here, Samsung Galaxy S23, fully updated.
It happened previously but stopped. Now its back.

claudiawinklemansfringetrimmer · 05/02/2026 09:22

Mine too, iPhone + webpage

NotThatSerious · 05/02/2026 09:15

Me too it’s really annoying!

Hobnobswantshernameback · 05/02/2026 09:11

Yes happening here too

MrTwisterHasABlister · 05/02/2026 07:05

Mine does it if I tap ‘see next post’ - spins back to the top super fast. So annoying and has been doing it for months. No chance of a screenshot or recording; it’s too fast.

iPhone (up to date) and browser.

landlordhell · 05/02/2026 06:48

Yep on and off. Throws you off so you have to scroll back

Ineffable23 · 05/02/2026 06:45

Mine too but afraid I have no idea how to do a screen recording. It's definitely intermittent.

shellyleppard · 05/02/2026 06:44

Mine just started scrolling automatically this morning.....grrrr

Motnight · 05/02/2026 06:41

Me too on some threads. Have a Google Pixel 7 phone.
