Ive been having this since the day before yesterday

Im on a laptop using Chrome

I thought it was just the odd thread, perhaps been deleted or something, but this morning I couldnt get into the whole site on Chrome so now using Edge but I dont like using Edge, all my other tabs are open on Chrome

purpleme12 · 05/05/2026 08:26

I hate the app when i had it so i'll just not go on here as much!

I have tried clearing cookies/cache but couldn't get around the message. On android phone. Only MN affected.
Have downloaded the app and that seems ok for now.

InflagranteDelicto · 05/05/2026 07:03

I've had this all weekend. Cache & cookies cleared, made no difference.
Meant I had to actually do some housework 😳
Seriously though, the only way I can use mn is incognito on chrome on my mobile - I only use it on my phone.

TheyGrewUp · 05/05/2026 07:00

Me too. Not working on Samsung but is on i-phone. How do younclear the cache.

WeMeetInFairIthilien · 05/05/2026 06:55

From 10pm last night, 400 bad request.
Chrome, have cleared browser and cache, made no difference, still out this morning.

Working on incognito mode

I have emailed MN with a link to this thread and also reported

Just to add I'm still having this issue this morning despite cache being cleared. Accessing this via the Facebook page and using a link there to access the site.

purpleme12 · 04/05/2026 22:04

do MN see these threads in this section?

mum2jakie · 04/05/2026 21:55

Getting the 400 error all day yesterday and a few times this money. Android phone.

Enko · 04/05/2026 21:42

Also get this on android cache clearing didnt work

LadyGreySpillsTheTea · 04/05/2026 21:38

Clearing the cache and history by following the instructions (Firefox for MacOS) seems to have worked, fingers crossed.

limetrees32 · 04/05/2026 19:27

we're hoping this was a temporary glitch for you as we haven't had any similar reports.
Above is quote from MN at midday in reply to my email.

Edited

interesting!

Linksrechtsgeradeaus · 04/05/2026 19:36

I’ve had the 400 message all day, except for a couple of minutes. That’s Edge on laptop. Safari on iPad works but very slow.

And only MN. No where else.

Perrygreen · 04/05/2026 19:26

I had this yesterday evening, finally fixed it lunchtime today.. Clearing cache and history didn't work. I did have to install a newer version of my android browser and that seems to have cleared it.

purpleme12 · 04/05/2026 19:20

yes only this site

Viviennemary · 04/05/2026 18:55

I got error message all morning. Only on MN site though. Managed to clear cache after a few attempts. Seems to be ok now but I can't see how it isn't a fault on the MN end as it only affects this site.

Younginside · 04/05/2026 18:44

limetrees32 · 04/05/2026 15:24

@Younginside are you still getting it ?
Did it start after any particular action you took ?

Yes unfortunately despite clearing the cache the problem is still here. It allows a couple of clicks through and then crashes with 400 message

GardenersDelight · 04/05/2026 18:00

Same here cleared cache on samsung tablet but no difference but absolutely fine on my samsung phone!

purpleme12 · 04/05/2026 17:52

I cleared the cache as well on mine but it hasn't made a difference

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 04/05/2026 17:51

I had the 404 message all morning. Came back this afternoon and all was fine, but now site is loading veeeerrrrry slowly, occasionally refusing to move between pages,and I just got an error 500 message.

FettchYeSandbagges · 04/05/2026 17:50

I've just had a 501 Internal Server Error. Chromebook. Refreshed the screen and it is now ok, but rather slow.

purpleme12 · 04/05/2026 17:44

I can't access mumsnet at all today on my phone because of this message.

So will be using it less I guess!
