Search function and Skim Links

3 replies

laundryelf · 26/04/2016 17:10

I have been trying to search on Mumsnet but when I click on a thread that the search brings up, it goes to a Skim Links page which says the link is broken. Tried several different searches and same result, everything is Skim Links, link broken.
Does anyone know what is going on? Is it something I am doing wrong or an issue with the site?

I'd also love to know the answer to this as it's just taken half an hour and two different laptops to bring up the thread I was searching for. I can see the thread I want, but when I click on it I also get the Skimlinks/redirect/broken link msg. I disabled adblocker as an experiment and it didn't make any difference. The only other difference between the two laptops is that the broken link one is running Kaspersky and this one isn't. I have probably missed something obvious ...

Hi laundryelf and pickacard,

Thanks for flagging. Can we ask what devices and browsers you are using? If you could also send some screenshots, that would be really helpful for tech to see what's going on.

Hi Katherine,
I'm using Firefox on a laptop, however I tried IE as well and had the same issue. Here is the url and the message I'm getting. Thanks for your help!
