Site stuff

Mumsnet pages too wide for my phone!

Have been reading the site very successfully on my Android phone but suddenly, the pages don't seem to fit? I'm having to scroll across the page to read which didn't seem to happen before.

What's happened?!

Oh mine to, I thought it was my phone, and have done what treaclesoda has done to. Don't like it but no scrolling required.

Mine too, very glad others are having the problem as I was beginning to think I'd broken it.

Definitely on the mobile site, there's a great whacking purple button that says "Desktop site" visible on the screen.

I've reported the thread to HQ since it isn't in Site Stuff, so they can see it and respond. Although maybe not on a Saturday.

Hi all,

HUGE apologies.

We have only just seen this thread Blush - Tech is currently working on this but it's not looking like a quick fix atm. Apologies, please do bear with us.

We will be moving this thread to site stuff shortly.

I've just downloaded the app and actually I quite like it. Although it would be nice to have the colour coded posts, it's easier to navigate than the mobile site and very intuitive.

It starts to display correctly then gets wide. Maybe an issue with the logo?

Thank goodness it's not just me! It was freaking me out and I was not happy at the thought of having to scroll all through my Christmas MNing while family members watch tv I don't like Grin

I'm also using the mobile site and having exactly the same experience - fine when loading but then goes wide, switching on and off doesn't help, no other site it doing it. My phone uses Android - I notice the first poster here said that too, amd someone else with an iPhone said it wasn't affecting them. Is this specifically an Android problem?

Hi, Let us know if this is still happening. We are looking at it as a matter of urgency, but it might be Monday before it's fully sorted.
