“Add Message” not working?

29 replies

SoupDragon · 07/06/2018 17:50

This afternoon I’ve found that clicking the “add message” up button doesn’t take me to the add message box at the bottle for a thread. I’m sure to was working this morning though.

Is it just me?

(iPad, safari, desktop site, MN Classic view)

I'm glad it's not just me! I just came over to start a thread (that I wouldn't be able to add a message toGrin

I'm on a Chrome book, MN classic. Desktop.

It's driving me potty Grin

Not just you op!

Same here.

Not that I ever want to add a message but it's a quick way to get to the end of a thread. I find scrolling long threads on MN to be a bit slow and laggy so clicking add message was a good way to bypass all that.

Same here. Still able to add a message by typing into the box at the bottom of the page, but the 'add message' link isn't working.

Raahh · 08/06/2018 11:01

Still not working for me today. It's very annoying on long threads.

SoupDragon · 08/06/2018 12:30

It’s driving me nuts.

I can't send PMs either. Every time I click on Message poster, the panels either side of the talk board go grey and that's it.

SoupDragon · 08/06/2018 15:00

Me too now I’ve checked.

Report works just fine though.

Same here - just checked that too

Hi all

Sorry about this!

Would someone be able to send us a full-screen screenshot so that tech can see what's going on here? If you could send it to [email protected] and also let us know the usual device/browser/app, main, mobile site questions, that would be really helpful for our tech team Flowers

SoupDragon · 08/06/2018 16:05

How do you send a screenshot of something that is doing nothing?

I just click 'add message' and nothing happens. That's it. Nothing to show.

SoupDragon · 08/06/2018 17:06

Neither of these links work.

Mine not working either, safari . The only way I can post a message is to go to the bottom of the page

OrchidInTheSun · 09/06/2018 10:17

Still not working. Any news @MNHQ?

OrchidInTheSun · 09/06/2018 10:21

This is the screen I get - it pings up to the top of the page and gets grey stripes. At the moment I'm on a laptop running Windows 10 and using Firefox as my browser

BlessYawnBless · 10/06/2018 14:29

It's not working for me either, can only post on. a thread if I go to the bottom of the page.
Safari, using a notebook , MacOS High Sierra.

LornaMumsnet · 10/06/2018 14:39

No news yet - sorry folks.

It's working for me in Chrome though so it looks like an issue with Firefox and Safari, is that right?

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/06/2018 15:02

Same problem. Been happening last few days and popped over to write a thread and yah found this so not just me

Click on add message and nothing

To reply I have to scroll to box at bottom

iphone safari

StealthPolarBear · 10/06/2018 15:04

I'm on an android phone and have a floating bar of blue buttons at the bottom of the page. When I click 'add' it's as if it isn't a button

Raahh · 10/06/2018 15:08

Sorry- mine isn't working on Chrome.

StealthPolarBear · 10/06/2018 15:48

In faxct they seem to vary. Sometimes the 'I'm on' button doesn't work, sometimes it's 'active'

OrchidInTheSun · 10/06/2018 16:38

@LornaMumsnet - I'm now logged in on Chrome and it's not working on this one either.

BlessYawnBless · 10/06/2018 20:45

not working for me on Chrome either.
