Mumsnet pages too wide for my phone!

Horsemad · 22/12/2012 09:49

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.

5madthings · 22/12/2012 12:21

Its the same for me and very annoying!

TeeElfOnTeeShelf · 22/12/2012 12:23

Are y'all on the mobile site? Mines fine on my iPhone.

ToriaHosannaHeadacheChelsea · 22/12/2012 12:23

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

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 22/12/2012 12:24

Same here

ToriaHosannaHeadacheChelsea · 22/12/2012 12:24

HAHAHA... As I posted that I got the "Mumsnet is offline" page...

ToriaHosannaHeadacheChelsea · 22/12/2012 12:25

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

TeeElfOnTeeShelf · 22/12/2012 12:32

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.

5madthings · 22/12/2012 12:53

I am on the mobile site as well. I have trued turning my page round and logging in and out etc nithing helped.

As it firsr loads it comes up fine and then all of a sudden the page gets too wide.

Wearsuncream · 22/12/2012 12:55

me too - Ive fiddled with settings to fit page to screen which is working quite well

RubbishCrackerPuller · 22/12/2012 13:18

I'll add my wails of frustration Angry Angry Angry

It has forced me to download the app, which I hate with a passion Angry

Arithmeticulous · 22/12/2012 15:05

I can't stand
this.
It is driving
me mad.
When I first
open a page
it is the right
size but then
the screen flashes and goes a mile long and so I'm scrolling scrolling scrolling....

RebeccaTheHallsMumsnet · 22/12/2012 15:34

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.

reindeercanteatsweets · 22/12/2012 15:59

Its bad. The apocolypse happened but only to the mobile site didn't it?
'Fess up hq

EmpressOfTheNorthPole · 22/12/2012 17:49

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.

RhinestoneCowgirl · 22/12/2012 17:52

Thank goodness for that, thought it was just me...

5madthings · 22/12/2012 19:42

This is really fucking me off! Sort it out!!

nannynick · 22/12/2012 20:03

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

Snazzyfeelingfestive · 23/12/2012 00:08

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?

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 23/12/2012 00:14

Happening to me too - I really dont want to have to drag put the laptop every time I fancy a natter!

Tech · 23/12/2012 13:31

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.

AnAirOfHopeInAManger · 23/12/2012 13:33

No difference to me. I still need to scroll sorry

Tech · 23/12/2012 13:35

How about now?

FarelyKnuts · 23/12/2012 13:38

still happening to me tooSad

AnAirOfHopeInAManger · 23/12/2012 13:38
