I thought it was just me, it had been a nightmare using the Android mobile app today!

wheredidiputit · 09/10/2013 14:40

I thought it was me.

It seems very slow today.

Neitheronethingortheother · 09/10/2013 14:42

me too :(

ShadowFall · 09/10/2013 14:43

Slow for me as well.

SpiritOfTheBuskersCat · 09/10/2013 14:44

yup, guessing its from all the extra traffic from twitter. #penisbeaker will have directed a lot of people our way

OneStepCloser · 09/10/2013 14:48

Yep, slow here as well. DS home sick and Im stuck on the sofa with him, I need a fast MN Smile

JustBecauseICan · 09/10/2013 14:49

Ha! I was just running a scan to see if there was some monsteroony inside my computer!

It will be one of those bastarding "this script is......" doing my head in

Ragwort · 09/10/2013 14:52

Me too - what's going on?

LadyBeagleEyes · 09/10/2013 14:53

Yup, me too. It's taking ages to post a message and also to get on to the pages.

TEErickOrTEEreat · 09/10/2013 14:54

It's because of the Penis in a Beaker thread that's all over Twitter FB and the media! Extra hits.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the slow site today - we're suffering over here at MNHQ too.

Tech are on the case, so hopefully the site will recover soon.

bigwellylittlewelly · 09/10/2013 14:59

I can't even post or load pages

bigwellylittlewelly · 09/10/2013 15:01

The words 'penis', 'downtime' and 'go slow' could doubtless become a witty thread in its own right

ViviPru · 09/10/2013 15:04

I wondered why on earth MN was getting mentions in social spheres of mine far removed from these shores. I didn't realise Penis Beaker had gone viral....

TEErickOrTEEreat · 09/10/2013 15:06

It has indeed, Vivi.

JugglingFromHereToThere · 09/10/2013 15:08

Yeh, even I might give up just for this afternoon Grin

SinisterSal · 09/10/2013 15:09

There's no end to the trouble penises in beakers cause.

mummylin2495 · 09/10/2013 15:53

Just came on to post the same thing, glad it's not my iPad going wrong !!!

ouryve · 09/10/2013 16:08

I think the penis dunking thread might have overwhelmed the hamsters that power the servers.

Methe · 09/10/2013 16:17

It's been terrible for me for weeks :( every other reload promps a 'mumsnet is offline' type message.

garlicvampire · 09/10/2013 16:57

I may have to do Real Life for a while instead Shock [wibble]

FruOla · 09/10/2013 17:47

Oh FFS, I tried to post about 10 minutes ago.

I was trying to say that, in addition to the the usual slowness, today is jeffing awful - I guess due to the penis dunking thread.

Whether this post actually makes it onto this thread, I have no idea.

I'm going now.

MNHQ, you will be responsible if I start ordering expensive stuff online - OKAY?

WorraLiberty · 09/10/2013 18:20

It's been ridiculous for the last few hours.

DoItTooJulia · 09/10/2013 18:20

Yeah. It's bloody annoying. I'm signing off for the night, it's so crap!

chickydoo · 09/10/2013 18:23

Can't connect on my ipad at all???
Is something wrong with the APP?
