Mumsnet almost unusable this morning?

I doubt this will even post given all the issues this morning.

Has anyone else been getting a white screen and pages not loading?

It's making the site almost unusable, where as all other websites i'm on seem to be working as normal.

It keeps happening to me too. I use the web version mostly. It's been happening for about a week.

LolaSmiles · 18/05/2019 08:56

I've had the same issues for a few days.

daisychain01 · 18/05/2019 08:56

You'd be surprised. I bet it is an extremely busy time on here. That's the problem, MN has exponentially increased its user base.

StoatofDisarray · 18/05/2019 09:01

Me too and it happens so often I barely notice it any more.

Catchingbentcoppers · 18/05/2019 09:01

I've been having the same problem for a few days too.

Nottheshrinkingcapgrandpa · 18/05/2019 09:11

I just keep on getting constant ads covering postsp

Meckity1 · 18/05/2019 09:12

When I tried to get on this morning, I got a message saying that the volume of traffic meant the site couldn't be reached. I wondered if it was another attack by MRAs or similar.

DuchessofManchester · 18/05/2019 09:15

I couldn't even get on the site this morning

SerenDippitty · 18/05/2019 09:19

Yes it’s been happening to me too. Also been having those messages about winning an iPhone or something popping up again.

cocomelon23 · 18/05/2019 09:19

I thought it was just me. This is becoming more and more common.

Morning all,
We really appreciate you all flagging this issue.
Are you all using the mobile sites & apps, or is anyone having a similar problem on the main site?
Which browsers and devices are you using?

Any additional info you can give us will be really helpful.

ChattyLion · 18/05/2019 09:21

Yes and it’s not a rare thing to happen especially early in the morning lately.

birmanbaby · 18/05/2019 09:21

Safari, not been working all morning.

Bad gateway
Refuses to load the page
Or just a blank white screen

Bad gateway

sashh · 18/05/2019 09:27

I'm on chrome on a PC.

This was happening yesterday but I deleted the cookies and it returned to normal.

HappydaysArehere · 18/05/2019 09:27

Same here yesterday. Then today I had nearly completed a post when it disappeared!

TooStressyTooMessy · 18/05/2019 09:27

Same here. iPhone Safari. Has been happening for a few days for me.

FeminismandWomensFights · 18/05/2019 09:28

iPhone 6s, safari, not on desktop site and should have added, using mobile site (not app.)

mathanxiety · 18/05/2019 09:28

I'm on a PC, firefox. The site has been really, really slow, getting apache tomcat error messages too, site woldn't load for four hours some day last week (very late night).

Improved today and yesterday afternoon.

Mobile (android) had more of previous problems with signing me out while PC was having problems.

mathanxiety · 18/05/2019 09:30

I went on isitdownrightnow to check and MN was flagged there - maybe Thursday night?

AnalyseThis · 18/05/2019 09:30

For days. I'm overseas.

Verite1 · 18/05/2019 09:30
