To not expect MN to crash every night?

Love a scroll through Mumsnet just before I go to bed.

Every evening without fail it crashes from about 9.30pm onwards (currently intermittent hence me trying to post).

I just don’t know another site that crashes like this. Drives me mad!

P.S yes I know I am probably being unreasonable for complaining about this and for posting on AIBU but it is bugging me the longer it goes on.

Come and join us on Site Stuff. There are several threads there lamenting the same, and waiting to hear what the problem is!

I've just noticed this tonight over the last ten minutes or so.
Along with a message that it was just checking my browser when I changed the page, which I've never had before.

ofwarren · 13/06/2022 22:34

I can't get the app to work either tonight.
Everything has gone to pot since the supposed upgrade.

Tigofigo · 13/06/2022 22:35

The checking browser thing seemed to be an anti-DDOS attack thing, and I think the reason MN crashes is because it gets a lot of those attacks. Possibly from those who see MN as a TERF incubator?

Every night. This evening I have a revolving door error screens to keep things interesting. And then when it does work it makes Brian the snail look like Usain Bolt.

I admit I'm not the world's most patient person but for goodness sake.

Since the upgrade, I have probably been able to load mumsnet maybe 10 times on my iPhone 12. I used to scroll several times a day but I’ve given up now. I just intermittently check every few days. I really think they need to admit the new website isn’t working and revert back.

Fightingtalk · 13/06/2022 22:41

Glad it’s not just me-so frustrating! If it continues I’ll have to find something worthwhile to do with my time instead 😬

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 13/06/2022 22:43

I don't know any other site that has as many IT issues as Mumsnet.

So retro. Feels like being back in 1998.

Sparkles8912 · 13/06/2022 22:44

@Fightingtalk I know what you mean, I get annoyed it won’t load. Then tell myself it’s a sign I need more hobbies 😂

That said @TaranThePigKeeper I will defo come and join you in the Site Stuff boards, not ventured there before.

It's really annoying , it's been on and off shit since they changed it

Norgie · 13/06/2022 22:57

@Tigofigo it's never happened to me before, but it's happened twice in the last twenty minutes

PurpleButterflyWings · 13/06/2022 23:00

YANBU @Sparkles8912 MN has gone to shit since the 'upgrade.' LOL 'upgrade!!!' Should that not improve a website??? This 'upgrade' has fucked it up! As you say, it crashes every day now.

I think HQ pop in regularly because it’s where to go to report problems with the site, so it’s worth noting your issues there.

stripesorspotsorwhat · 13/06/2022 23:01

Grim, isn't it?

I'm really starting to lose my patience now.

SpindleSheWrote · 13/06/2022 23:03

Yes, it's shit, and yes head over to Site Stuff

JaneJeffer · 13/06/2022 23:05

It’s ridiculous that the upgrade has caused all these problems. #fuckupgrade

MayDaze · 13/06/2022 23:07

Site constantly crashing and previously banned posters able to run amok.

The site is practically unusable.

RightOnTheEdge · 13/06/2022 23:08

YANBU!
It wouldn't load for me again and got that weird checking server screen. I was just thinking ffs! Not this again!
The first thing I saw when I got on was your thread!

Throckmorton · 13/06/2022 23:09

I'm so glad you posted - I thought it was my phone playing up!

VestofAbsurdity · 13/06/2022 23:10

Just tried to post on here and got the DDOS warning.

Odd that this has happened at roughly the same time two nights running, indicative of it being attacked?

Caughtshort · 13/06/2022 23:12

It has been absolutely awful since the "upgrade".

PunishmentRoundupWithJoon · 13/06/2022 23:13

I've been getting heaps of stuff done in the evenings lately due to Mumsnet being so crap - can't be arsed waiting for it so just give up and organise shit or tidy up!

NotKevinTurvey · 13/06/2022 23:14

Pistonheads never has these problems, could one of the site admins ask over there how they manage so much better?

onlythreenow · 13/06/2022 23:15

I'm not in the UK, so it's every morning for me. Really, really irritating.

Thelnebriati · 13/06/2022 23:15

Mumsnet is under DDOS attack by activists, what do you suggest they do?
