Hi Julie,
There appear to be a lot of us unable to post from or laptops and computers. We are all getting the message

Sorry we are not accepting new threads right now.

Can you help us out?

I get that message if I try and post from my iPad but I can post from my iPod touch. Both use Safari.

HepsibarCrinkletoes · 01/01/2014 00:26

I can only post via the app. And tbh that's a struggle as I'm a bit oissed. Or pissed even. And, AND I have not even been naughty today.

HepsibarCrinkletoes · 01/01/2014 00:26

Much.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 01/01/2014 00:32

Same here. Done nothing wrong. Been on a quiche thread all evening.

is thw site on lockdown? Surely we haven't all been banned?

RustyBear · 01/01/2014 00:35

I can post from iphone but not ipad. On the ipad I get the 'not accepting new threads' message (even though it's not a new thread) and then the endlessly circling thing.

Valpollicella · 01/01/2014 00:37

Islenka · 01/01/2014 00:38

MimsyBorogroves · 01/01/2014 00:41

Oh no, that's from the app. I blame the Bailey's.

RustyBear · 01/01/2014 00:44

Morning.

We have suspended everyone's ability to post in order for us to clear the inflammatory threads which have popped up during the evening, and to prevent any more from starting whilst we do this. Jokey or otherwise, they have left a lot of mumsnetters deeply offended and this isn't what Mumsnet is about.

Things should be back to normal in the morning.

KatyMac · 01/01/2014 00:52

On laptop on mobile site (it doesn't look pretty) but I can post

I thought I'd broken it

Sparklingbrook · 01/01/2014 00:53

Ooh this is odd. The mobile site.

Looks like it's time for bed. Night all. x

ClayDavis · 01/01/2014 00:55

Or people using the mobile site on their laptop/pc. I'm sure they're all good people too.
