All the trending threads lead to "biscuits"... what's happening please?!

I'm getting biscuits when clicking on active talks too. This is first time in 3 attempts I've been able to get onto anything. I'm on iPhone 5s

AndrastesKnickerweasels · 18/05/2016 13:00

Lots of biscuits and posting problems here, too.

Biscuits should be in my hand, not on my firefox.

ChipsandGuac · 18/05/2016 13:01

MN was down completely for me last night (middle of the night in the UK) and is now full of biscuits.

FIS2016 · 18/05/2016 13:02

Mine all seem fine.

ARichVernacular · 18/05/2016 13:03

It's been fine for me till just now. Am on Android phone using Chrome for mobile site.

BadDoGooder · 18/05/2016 13:04

Biscuits everywhere here too!
It was most frustrating, kept seeing threads on site stuff about it, and every time I clicked on one....biscuit!!
I lost all of Active for a bit, and literally every thread I clicked on was a biscuit!

Has someone been at the gin HQ??

RebeccaMumsnet · 18/05/2016 13:05

Seems like a mobile issue?

Is everyone on the mobile site of the app please?

AFAIK, we have not been hacked, just a techy bug.

Tech are looking now.

MTPurse · 18/05/2016 13:06

I am using a Mac, desktop, Safari.

SallyVating · 18/05/2016 13:07

It's happening on my desktop machine too

AndrastesKnickerweasels · 18/05/2016 13:07

No, windows laptop here.

90% of Active is gawn, took forever to get back here what with the biscuits.

Did just check on my phone and that's borked too.

TofuTreats · 18/05/2016 13:07

I had the same symptoms on the desktop site.

Timetogrowup2016 · 18/05/2016 13:07

iPad here using safari . Not using mobile app. I thought it was me at first as well

middlings · 18/05/2016 13:08

PC, Chrome, happened to me!

Sellotapewillfixit · 18/05/2016 13:09

iPad safari for me too.

Somerville · 18/05/2016 13:09

It was happening for me on mobile (iPhone 6, safari). I logged out and tried and it was all then fine. Logged back in and all the biscuits reappeared and only a few threads in active once more.

I've logged into desktop now and it seems to be fine so far.

RebeccaMumsnet · 18/05/2016 13:09

Thanks all

Tech have put in a fix, is it still happening?

momb · 18/05/2016 13:10

hmmmm, biscuits Grin

coleus · 18/05/2016 13:10

iPad safari.

JockTamsonsBairns · 18/05/2016 13:10

Happening here too! I'm on iPad using Safari

AndrastesKnickerweasels · 18/05/2016 13:11

So far so good here, Rebecca

howtorebuild · 18/05/2016 13:11

Mobile site not app.

itssaulgoodman · 18/05/2016 13:11

I'm on a Desktop and mine is working now.

TenThousandSpoons · 18/05/2016 13:11

OTBT is empty - is this also a tech thing or has something happened?

TenThousandSpoons · 18/05/2016 13:12

Ah it isn't any more - ignore me!

magimedi · 18/05/2016 13:12

Desktop + Firefox - no problems.
