Anyone else getting an error message on the Notifications page?

I've been getting an error message for the past couple of hours when I try to access the Notifications page. Wondering if others have had this. Contacted MN but no response so far.

@ImpressionOf Have you cleared your cache yet? You don't have to clear it for everything - just for Mumsnet should work - so you won't have to re-input all your passwords etc.

Yes, I have.

I’m not getting all notifications. I do if someone comments or quotes but not if they use the reactions to agree, offer support, love or thanks.
Yet they are visible on the thread.

'I'm watching' 'wasn't working for me but I was reluctant to clear my cache as I knew it would affect other sites I use (being logged out of them etc). I had to rely on' I'm on' instead, and using 'save' on threads where I hadn't actually posted. Not as good as 'I'm watching', though.

I was thinking of getting techy family members to help me sort it. But today I accidentally discovered that 'I'm watching' is back like it had never been away without me doing anything. Happy days!

Thank you, JustCabbageLooking, for your courtesy.

(I would have thought MNHQ might have posted that information on this thread about the error. Oh well.)

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 27/04/2026 17:12

It is now four days since "Notifications" was working.

Could we perhaps have a progress report?

JustCabbaggeLooking · 25/04/2026 20:15

I use Chrome.

JustCabbaggeLooking · 25/04/2026 20:11

I've emptied cache and deleted cookies since this first happened. The problem isn't with users, it's with the site.
'I'm on' works 'I'm watching' doesn't. It's nothing to do with cookies or reloading site.
Though, I have to say, since I did that, I now have the pleasure of a pop up add on screen that has to be closed each time.
If I was cynical I would think the whole point was to try to get everyone to reload the site and be inundated with pop ups.

And another really silly one. I went to the Archers thread page 6 via "Activity" and "Bookmarks" by clicking on the bookmark I put there yesterday. So far so good. Then I went on to page 7 of the same thread, and realised I wanted to look again at a post on page 6. When I clicked on page 6, I got the "oops we seem to have lost that page" message. Went to page 5 and tried to got forward to page 6; same error message. Went back out to bookmarks, clicked on the bookmark for page 6 of that thread and was taken there.

This site is seriously messed up.

Me too and since about the same time, and it makes the site effectively pointless for me if I can't find the conversations I am having, which without notifications I can't. I am beginning to be exasperated. Looking in "Bookmarks" in "My activities" means I can find the threads, but going to my most recent bookmark isn't much help in telling me how many replies there have been since I was last there, nor if anyone has reacted to anything I have said nor quoted me.

And I am getting the same message occasionally about threads in "Trending", which is equally annoying.

Clearing the cache is no help.

Running Chrome and Linux on desktop.

It's still doing it on notification and active (android/chrome) and it's driving me mad. Stop telling us to clear cache and fix it properly please. It makes it unusable!

I cleared my cache. Still getting the error message.

To clarify (in case it's helpful), I get the error message when I try to access Notifications. The My activity feature works fine. I'm using Android.

I'm getting the 404 on the AIBU forum listing (not any of the other pages mentioned), and have been for days now. Clearing browsing data and cache has not worked.

Hi all

Can you please try clearing your cache? There was an issue with browser cache earlier so it's very likely that the issue will be resolved once this has been done.

My problem is that I can't load the page www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights
When I try to load that page the URL in the browser's address bar changes to this one https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/%7B1%7D and the oops error message page is displayed in the browser window.

This has been happening since around 3pm yesterday.

I tried clearing my browser cache and it made no difference. The only way I can access the page is by using a private browsing window.

Hope you find this information helpful in tracking down the issue.

@LilyMumsnet
Cleared my cache and that's worked for me.
Thanks very much.

I had been getting this error on Notifications when using Chrome on my MacBook for the last 24 hours. I came here to report the issue & saw the recommendation to clear cache (Chrome->Delete browsing data) which has fixed the problem. Thanks!

murasaki · 24/04/2026 11:52

I think i saw on another thread that they'd had to do something re security and this had been a 'human error' based side effect. And to clear the cache as a solution.

Which it isn't.

ImpressionOf · 24/04/2026 11:41

I also feel quite strongly that I shouldn’t be the one to have to clear my history (cache) losing things I want to keep - just to make MN work.

DustyWindowsills · 24/04/2026 11:14

I cleared my cache. Still getting the error message.

Rictasmorticia · 24/04/2026 10:38

I have been getting this for two days trying to access last hour

murasaki · 24/04/2026 10:35

I've cleared mine and it's still not working.

Pemba · 24/04/2026 10:21

'I'm watching' is still not working 😕. That was my go to page.

Curveygirl · 24/04/2026 10:18

Hi, my notifications are leading to tgis message too. I've tried allthe obvious things and still get the error. My active feed is like this also. Samsung.

ImpressionOf · 24/04/2026 09:55

Cleared as suggested, notification page still not accessible.
