Lost the bar at the bottom

The toolbar accross the bottom ... has gone.

I started a thread (this one haha) using the drop down at the top.

I liked the toolbar !
Has it gone forever?
I liked hitting the 'active' button

I've got the same problem. It's very frustrating.

RockPaperCut · 18/05/2017 16:08

Yup, same here.

CharlotteCollinsneeLucas · 18/05/2017 16:14

Glad it's not just me.

Alternatively, I thought it was a ploy to get us to use the app...

MothertotheLordsofmisrule · 18/05/2017 16:25

Same problem here, posting from desktop on phone.
Can't like it.

MooMooCat · 18/05/2017 16:25

I hate using desktop on my tablet, much prefer mobile, I hope its sorted soon.

Maudlinmaud · 18/05/2017 16:41

I'm using the app now, it's much easier than desktop but I prefer the mobile version. It may be a case of getting used to it. If anyone is having diffs with desktop I recommend this for short term use. The print is bigger etc and the shortcut icons are there.

installing an app on a device usually allows the creator of the app to harvest data from the device and track the owner of the device so it's in mn's interest to have members use the app rather than a browser

I didnt know there was an app tbh

I never use an app if I can use a browser

Maudlinmaud · 18/05/2017 16:53

I just downloaded it today as I couldn't see the text on desktop. Your post is making me think I should delete it. I don't like the idea of being tracked.

Ffsherewegoagain · 18/05/2017 16:54

Is that true about the app hq? Do you harvest data and track the owners of devices via the app?

PuppyMonkey · 18/05/2017 17:04

I'm on desktop site on laptop to post this as having the same problem on my Iphone 6s plus.

The only way I could get the buttons on the bottom back was to keep pressing "back" and eventually I came to a page where the Active, Watching, Add Post, I'm On etc icons were all there. Confused

PuppyMonkey · 18/05/2017 17:09

Oh no, I just tried to post on mobile and it won't let me. That's this month's iphone issue then is it? Sad

TizzyDongue · 18/05/2017 17:11

Ive downloaded the app. It's awful!

Though it's got more smilies than the mobile site

Every cloud.

c'mon you know the mantra
if it's free you are the product
we provide all the content for the site and the owner of the site just has to harvest it and sell it to advertisers, we all work for mumsnet for free...arent we generous!

Sittinginthesun · 18/05/2017 17:22

I've just done an update thing on my phone (which I don't understand), so thought I'd broken Mumsnet. Quite relieved to hear it's not just me. Switched to desktop for now.

BabytoBoris · 18/05/2017 17:27

According to the Internet mumsnet has a 7 million quid turnover and assets of 5.3 million. Please could a little bit more of this be invested in infrastructure? Given MNs original purpose was to help the sanity of Middle class mums on Mat leave, outages like this don't help. Most forcing me to interact with people in real life and that's a bit wierd

kali110 · 18/05/2017 17:29

The app is also playing up. Taking ages to load when you press on topics.

kali110 · 18/05/2017 17:31

I shall be deleting the app then!

MyOtherProfile · 18/05/2017 17:36

I can't see the bottom bar any more, or post or click on the middle button on the mobile site. And the desktop site is really irritating on a phone so I'll have to go do something else instead!

toffeeboffin · 18/05/2017 17:39

Is this a trick to get me to do laundry?

toffeeboffin · 18/05/2017 17:40

On android, super frustrating MN.

Theresnonamesleft · 18/05/2017 17:47

This is a trick to get me to write an assignment. It's clearly not working haha.
But anyway like others - lost the bar at the bottom, cannot click any of the icons at the top of the page to get the bottom bar back. Cannot bookmark etc on the drop down box.
Cannot post had to go on the desktop to post.
On iPhone latest update.

peaceout · 18/05/2017 17:52

let's all pat ourselves on the back for all the hard work and the hours we put in creating content for this site, we've made mumsnet lots of lovely money and we do it all for free

MackerelOfFact · 18/05/2017 17:59

Same here. Toolbar gone, none of the buttons at the top work and can't post.

RebootYourEngine · 18/05/2017 18:16

Posting to see if the desktop works for me. The mobile site isnt working for me. Hate the desktop version.
