Black bars blocking MN threads (mobile site)?

[MemoryOfSleep]

To be honest, I'm more irritated that mumsnet haven't fixed it yet. Started getting this a few days ago on my phone. Black sections blocking out parts or the whole of threads on the mobile site. Had a search and apparently a thread was started about it in site stuff on the seventh of October! Mumsnet said they'd take a look at it but no word for a while now. Seemed to be Samsung devices mainly but also a few Sony. AIBU to use this thread to see how widespread the problem is and urge MN to do something about it?

(Hopefully not a TAAT because this is about the problem not the other thread. Just mentioned the other thread to avoid suggestions that I post in site stuff and to highlight the duration of the issue.)

I'm getting it, too - Nokia TA 1020 and Chrome.

Still doing it... Worse than before. @MNHQ... Please can you help?!

Same here. Huawei Honor 9. Chrome. Mobile site. I think its to do with the adverts.

Definitely related to M&S ads. Tell them to big off with their dodginess!

• Bog off.

Sigh.

Same issue. Samsung S7 Edge and Chrome.

Yes definitely related to the ads across the top of the screen!

Really bad tonight

Happening on my Huawei p20 lite on Google chrome. It's making the website barely use able and very annoying.

Horrible. I'm getting it too. Samsung asand

That was meant to say Samsung and chrome but the black box appeared and I couldn't type any more.

Yep. For quite a while actually samsung s8. Eek it's happening now so can't see what I'm typing 😡

I'm getting it too. Relieved it's not a fault with my phone. The M&S ad causes it - starts off as a black square where the ad is then as I scroll chunks of the thread disappear are covered in black, then bits of the thread repeats itself, sometimes overlaid. Moto c plus using Chrome. It's a total pain in the arse.

I get the black bars too on threads...I found refreshing the screen by clicking on the web address to reload the page solves the issue for a while and it reloads without the bars

My previous attempt...

I've found refreshing mostly solves it. However doing so for every page is a waste of time and annoying when I'm halfway through it. And I've just been on another thread, got the black bar, refreshed and there it was again. Really can't be arsed so will just go to a site other than Mumsnet that works properly.

Samsung S8+ and Chrome here. It's only started in the last few days.

I keep getting this, when it happens on my Samsung the posts all merge too, it just happened to me now, I had to type my post out again because it did it when I was typing. I'm on Chrome.

I have thought it was gone but now I have it again. Also sometimes it doesn't let me finish a word.

Happens on my Sony experia

I thought it was just me? I have a Huawei + Chrome

Worse than ever today and has taken 5 attempts to write this

Chrome on Huawei with M&S ads.

I've also had it occur on other websites (the Guardian, WordPress blogs) so I assumed it was a problem with the ad interaction with the browser.

I thought it was my phone. I am sure it has something to do with the adverts. Refreshing it or coming off the page and back on helps.
