Black bars blocking MN threads (mobile site)?

MemoryOfSleep · 22/10/2018 07:51

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.)

Oh God, I thought I was going mad! I'm so glad other people are having the same issue. I'm on a Sony somethingorother. I've found refreshing the page gets rid of it but sometimes only for a couple of seconds.

This was with a Eurostar advert

Huawei and chrome.

Stalmida · 24/10/2018 09:30

Samsung s7 and chrome. It used to happen occasionally but it's been pretty much unreadable for the last couple of days.

IamtheDevilsAvocado · 24/10/2018 09:49

Me too, on Samsung s7

Tattandthis · 24/10/2018 09:51

Me. Samsung s7. Chrome.

Courtney555 · 24/10/2018 10:06

Likewise with the used to happen occasionally, but it's now on every thread immediately. It's virtually impossible to use.

lovechocolates · 24/10/2018 10:11

Me too. On a Sony. Thought it was just me

KnittingSister · 24/10/2018 10:14

Most effective way of getting me off mumsnet to do something more productive Grin

LeslieKnopefan · 24/10/2018 10:16

Me too. P20 pro on Chrome.

I'm now using Firefox and it doesn't happen in Firefox

BackIntoTheSun · 24/10/2018 10:26

Me too! Samsung A8 via chrome. It's leaving me no option but to converse with DH.

Send help.

Worriedwombat2015 · 24/10/2018 21:40

Same here, happens on my Sony. Thought it was just my phone being old and shite

Rushofbirdsinflight · 24/10/2018 21:43

Huawei here too. Thought it was just my phone.

Lioness82 · 24/10/2018 21:43

Samsung Galaxy s8, using chrome.

I get black bars, then the page from the top again. Reloading stops it.

QueenOfCatan · 24/10/2018 21:45

Happening on my Huawei as well (can't remember the model name, sorry!) if i try to post it freezes as I type too

neverhadanymarblestolose · 24/10/2018 21:56

I thought it was just me and my new phone!

Not only do I get the large black blocks, but it then also repeats replies below the black blocks.

It's also just happened as I've tried to write this, so I've had to refresh the page to write it.

I'm another one on a Huawei using Chrome.

Lobster12345 · 24/10/2018 22:15

Same problem on my Samsung along with the repeating posts under the black boxes. Not happening on any other site. Very annoying! But relieved to see it's not just my phone

Severide08 · 24/10/2018 23:36

Yeap happening to me too .S9 and on Chrome .Though it was my phone 🙄

BerriesandLeaves · 24/10/2018 23:43

Seems to be taking a while to fix as it was originally reported on Site Stuff 17 days ago

44PumpLane · 24/10/2018 23:43

Oh totally assumed this was just me- using my new Huawei P20 pro.

Very frustrating!

Sciurus83 · 24/10/2018 23:44

Samsung chrome as well

apintofharpandapacketofdates · 24/10/2018 23:52

Huawei p9 & chrome here. Blooming frustrating.
