Posting for traffic- am I the o my person that has had difficulty getting on and reading mumsnet this last few days? It won't load properly and freezes. I've hardly read anything since Thursday..... So annoying!

Mine has been okay for lurking...

SuperRainbows · 05/03/2017 09:59

No problems here

Creatureofthenight · 05/03/2017 10:00

There's a thread in Site Stuff about it, lots of people been having issues (seems a bit better this morning for me?).

rainbowstardrops · 05/03/2017 10:00

I've had problems too. I'd assumed it was my phone because it's on it's last legs but maybe not?

Allthewaves · 05/03/2017 10:00

yes, same happening here

isupposeitsverynice · 05/03/2017 10:00

not just you, I am having trouble too - there's been quite a few threads started in site stuff about it

Peachypeaches · 05/03/2017 10:01

It has been awful the last week or so, mainly if you're using Safari. There's a big thread about it in site stuff. I downloaded the adblocker app yesterday and it's solved the issue for me.

MaroonPencil · 05/03/2017 10:01

Yeah, there seem to be issues with iPad and iPhone. Lots of people complaining about it on the other thread

Welshrainbow · 05/03/2017 10:02

Same for me for last week or so.

womanwithoutasong · 05/03/2017 10:02

Yes, same here. Im using iPhone6 and iPad2. It's been fine on my PC though.

It just sort of freezes while the bottom half of the page remains blank.

ChuckDaffodils · 05/03/2017 10:04

Gave up on the ipad and works fine on the mac.

The main thread is here:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2860644-SLOW-Its-so-fucking-slow-now-I-cant-even-get-long-threads-to-load-any-more?

But the TLDR version of that is:

  • all Apple devices seem to be struggling
  • this has been going on for several days
  • rare updates from MNHQ, 36 hour intervals, so no idea what's going on
  • adblocking seems to be the solution (AdBlock Plus being the most frequently recommended app)

(there's about half a dozen other threads in site issues saying roughly the same thing)

WayfaringStranger · 05/03/2017 10:05

Just assumed it was me.

Bluntness100 · 05/03/2017 10:07

I downloaded ad blocker and it's been fine ever since.

MissDemelzaCarne · 05/03/2017 10:08

Please post on this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2860644-SLOW-Its-so-fucking-slow-now-I-cant-even-get-long-threads-to-load-any-more

too, if you can. Hmm

Hoping for some updates from MNHQ.

hopefulmumofone · 05/03/2017 10:10

Another vote for Ad blocker, it worked for me. I thought it was my iPad and was going to buy another one today - so happy I read this first!

Glossolalia · 05/03/2017 10:12

I updated the software on my iPhone and the issue stopped for me.

thenorthernluce · 05/03/2017 10:19

I'm having difficulties, too, but only on iPhone.

Writerwannabe83 · 05/03/2017 10:22

I'm on an iPhone and it's been a nightmare for a week. Long threads won't load, screen freezing, not responding to the 'Threads I'm on' button and various other annoying things.

I thought I had problems with my internet connection but I guess not.

Sallystyle · 05/03/2017 10:26

Same here. The pages keep bouncing about when trying to get my my last booked mark page and it keeps telling me the page needs force reloading.

spacefrog35 · 05/03/2017 10:29

As said above- Adblock plus solved the problem for me.

Sallystyle · 05/03/2017 10:31

I completely forgot to install Adblock plus on my new laptop.

Just installed it.

underneaththeash · 05/03/2017 10:40

We had problems on all our apple devices and I too loaded ad block. Not having irritating ads too is a bonus!

Squills · 05/03/2017 10:59

I had same problem on my iPad but all was fine on my iMac. I downloaded ad blocker and all is ok now.
