Mobile app acting weird

Hi MNHQ
Is there a problem with the mobile app at the moment that you're aware of? My active conversations is playing up. It shows the same few threads by posters at the top instead of the usual MN threads that are there. I have deleted and reloaded the app but its just the same. Thank you!!

Hmmmm.... Gonna jump on the conspiracy bandwagon here-Mumsnetting are you secretly run by Apple and making us all think our phones are broken so we'll buy new ones? If I post this on David Ickes site it'll be 'true and a fact' in minutes. On the other hand, glad it's come out, and it's not my phone.

Sadthought it might be fixed this morning but still reading about side zip trousers! Think she must have meant £30!

Side bitch zip here too.

EvilTwins · 03/11/2012 12:09

Same here. Side zip trousers? £300? The woman is loopy.

HenriettaChicken · 03/11/2012 12:31

Same here. Have iPhone 5 if that's relevant.

RubyrooUK · 03/11/2012 12:52

I don't have an iPhone 5 - I do have a couple of screenshots of how it has gone wrong if MNHQ want me to email them over.

lisaro · 03/11/2012 12:55

iPhone 3GS (poor emoticon). But I'm sure it's only started since I installed IOS6.

ScrambledSmegs · 03/11/2012 15:02

I was just about to start a thread about this. I've got exactly the same problem.

I haven't installed iOS6 either. Still on iOS5 due to shiteness of Apple Maps.

BrandyAlexander · 03/11/2012 15:48

Same problem with the blackberry app too!

BitBewildered · 03/11/2012 15:53

I've had the side zip trousers for days too, and a few other, not MNHQ type threads, just random ones which never change. Hmm

FiercePanda · 04/11/2012 10:08

Yep, same here, side zip trousers, "this probably isn't a MNers list" and "AIBU to have blocked this person" constantly at the top of the Active threads.

Definitely not stickies.

It's like the Active board has stopped updating and is stuck on threads from days ago.

Does anyone else lose their + button (the one to add a new message or flip the thread) every so often? I find that if I've been on the app for a wee while looking at different threads, the MN app has a hissy fit and the button disappears. Only way to get it back is to restart my phone. Confused

ipotty · 04/11/2012 11:44

Ho hum - a new day and still the same trousers! How are you getting on MNHQ?

Bizkit · 04/11/2012 11:58

Same problem here, thought it was a bit strange and these same threads couldn't possibly still be the most active.
Does anyone else have problems with the search function on the app, I don't think it has ever worked on mine

eastendfareast · 04/11/2012 12:14

Me too and getting v irritated now. Sort it please mnhq!

DrinkFecksArseyGhosts · 04/11/2012 12:31

Same here. Even deleted and re-installed the app. Thete are threads last posted on 3rd Nov listed in Active.

OliviaMumsnet · 04/11/2012 12:43

@ipotty

Ho hum - a new day and still the same trousers! How are you getting on MNHQ?

LOL at the same trousers. I am sorry I don't mean to laugh. Will try again.

AntoinetteCosway · 04/11/2012 12:46

Same problem here, and same threads too.

ipotty · 04/11/2012 13:22

Yes you may very well laugh, Olivia! But the suspense is driving me crazy! Did she buy the trousers? Did she really mean that she was going to pay £300 (!) for them? Why is a side zip so important? These are questions that need answering Grin

Elkieb · 04/11/2012 13:26

Me too, but I just though the trouser issue was vitally importantBlush! Also getting a thread title stuck and all the other problems.

RubyrooUK · 04/11/2012 14:38

Oh I hadn't even realised that the trousers and a couple of other threads were part of the problem. They ARE always at the top of active threads for me too.

The most annoying bit for me is when a thread title gets stuck at the top of a page and you can't post or flip threads. If you left message 567 on a thread, it's a long scrolling process to find your comment (and not be able to respond again). And that is if you don't get the "loading discussions" sign instead of page turning while you are forwarding through the posts.

Tech · 04/11/2012 15:23

Hi, this should be OK now. The zipper trousers are gone.... sorry for the trubbs.

OliviaMumsnet · 04/11/2012 16:11

Poor trousers Grin

RubyrooUK · 04/11/2012 16:24

They ARE gone...pesky trousers. Hopefully that's the last we'll see of them....till the next time someone has a hot trouser-related issue....

ipotty · 04/11/2012 16:43

Hooray!! Thank you tech! Although I am feeling a little nostalgic now... Side zip anyone?
