I use MN on my phone. Old phone, not sure of OS Blush Android.

My icon buttons at the bottom of the screen don't work Active/Threads i'm on/Search etc.

When i try to go back a page, it takes me back two pages.

And i keep getting this weirdness [see photo]

Have tried turni g phone off and on again, have tried loggong out and back into MN, have troed openjng MN on a fresh window/page.

Nothing. Nada. Zip.

Is this happening to anyone else? And pages take an aaaaaaaage to open. I might have to interact with my family at this point!

Oh this happens on my laptop too. There's an entire thread about it that's been around since the beginning of the year, MNHQ have done sweet FA about it.

StealthPolarBear · 28/06/2018 17:54

My buttons appear and work intermittently

Arthuritis · 28/06/2018 17:56

Exactly the same happening to me on android phone, including that weird screen you've taken the picture of. Glad it's not just me. I thought my phone was playing up.

Me too, on iPhone on the mobile site.

It's been such a colossal faff the last couple of days that i didn't fancy scrolling through and reading a dozen other threads in site stuff lazy ole wanker more fool me. Strangely glad i'm not alone.

I thought it was just my phone. The bar at the bottom doesn't always appear for me and when it does, it doesn't seem to register that it's been touched. It uses the link of whatever is behind it.

It's been happening for at least a week on and off for me.

This is happening to me too, all my buttons have disappeared.

Also when I click on the 3 lines at the top of the screen and click on Talk, nothing happens.

I am using android.

Why do they have to keep fiddling with it?

Is it just to keep the techs in a job?

Hi folks,

What happens when you hit refresh? And what happens when you close the window and re-open?

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 01/07/2018 18:04

The icon buttons don't work if you are scrolled to the very bottom of the page. Scroll back up a wee bit and they may work.

FlaviaAlbia · 01/07/2018 19:14

Refreshing sometimes it fixes it and other times it makes the bar disappear completely for me @LornaMumsnet

FlaviaAlbia · 01/07/2018 19:17

I have closed the tab and opened a new one, but it's always been on a different page.

elQuintoConyo · 02/07/2018 00:25

I can scroll up and down the page to my heart's content, if the icon buttons don't work, they don't work. I have to press the back key on my phone which takes me back 2 pages, not one.

If i get the funny screen like i posted, i'll hit refresh and it'll pop up normally.

Oh, and very often when i have posted something and then hit an icon button, it goes to the ad at the bottom of the page! I never click links!

I'm on the mobile site, not the app.

Oh, i can open new windows, close old ones, open in new tab - no difference.

Firefox/Windows 10. If I click on a link in a thread/topic, the new link address appears in the address bar, but nothing happens until I refresh the address bar, at which point I will probably get connected. And then once I'm connected to the new page, I can't go back to the original thread/topic using the browser back button . This started about a week ago, and it's b**y frustrating.

MaireadMacSweeney · 03/07/2018 14:29

My back button hasn't been working properly for months (takes me back two pages) Now my active button only works after I repeatedly press the back button first, very frustrating.

DaanSaaf · 04/07/2018 07:13

Mines the same, chrome browser on a galaxy s7.

As with pp, the back button taking me back numerous pages has been happening for months but the icons is new. It's as if the touch screen calibration is out but only happens on MN.
