Mumsnet not working on safari on iPad?

I can open the site but can't click on any thread, on 'I'm watching' or, basically do anything.
Is it my problem or a site problem?

I think it's fixed for me. It was ok last night and this morning.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 06/11/2018 12:46

Does seem to be better!

NanTheWiser · 06/11/2018 13:58

Very tentatively, I think it's OK for me too at the moment. But I still have a problem with freezing on Gransnet, maybe tech can cure that one too?

salsamad · 06/11/2018 18:07

Today it's been much better than it was with regards to freezing but still slower to load pages and slightly jumpy when changing pages, posts etc.

PinkBuffalo · 06/11/2018 18:08

I couldn't use MN at all yesterday, but have managed so far today. It's quite fluctuating in temperament!

Jackyjill6 · 06/11/2018 23:36

Better here too

notacooldad · 07/11/2018 11:05

2i am struggling a lot with the error message and then the reload. This is the only site it's happening on for me.
It happened on everywhere I've opened this mornin losing all the replies I had typed out. It has been going on for a couple of weeks now

BoreOfWhabylon · 07/11/2018 14:32

Gah!!! It's all glitchy and laggy again!

Jux · 08/11/2018 16:24

BOF Flowers so, so sorry.

missclimpson · 09/11/2018 08:57

Terrible glitches again today. Have had loads of posts going half finished.

Jux · 09/11/2018 15:39

Really really awful today.

I have been silently screaming with frustration every time I have looked at MN.

For Instance:
I wanted to discuss the banned Iceland ad, but by the time I had watched the phantom typer mangling my text, tried to correct it, watched it mangling even further, and then THEN adding insult to injury by instead of deleting the whole thing and letting me start again, having my finger on the delete key apparently meant that I wanted to go to a whole different site.

Of course every other link I have tried to follow on MN today has taken up to half a dozen taps before there's been any sort of response (mainly the link acquires an underline but actuallydoes nothing more).

Funnily enough, this thread seems to be more or less OK. DON'T ASSUME THE PROBLEM'S RESOLVED!!!!!

SophieLMumsnet · 10/11/2018 14:38

Hello all,

Is it still awful today? We're so sorry about this!

BoreOfWhabylon · 10/11/2018 17:08

It's better than this morning but still pretty awful. Especially trying to click on threads in Active. They. Just. Don't. Load.

Typng still very laggy too.

Chewbecca · 10/11/2018 17:18

My iPad has gone wrong so I am not able to access Safari at all currently, not MN fault this time!

OP posts:
Knicknackpaddyflak · 10/11/2018 17:29

It's better than it was, but yes, sorry, still not fixed.

missclimpson · 10/11/2018 17:59

Yes better in that I have managed a few whole posts before being whizzed off on an exciting adventure to somewhere I didn't want to go. 😊

OlderThanAverageforMN · 10/11/2018 18:03

It did seem to be fixed for about a week, but again last night it was quite slow, lagging and freezing, although not as bad as before. I could still access the site and browse, but it was lumpy.

NanTheWiser · 10/11/2018 18:13

It's been better for the last few days, but has just frozen on me AGAIN!
I'm using the Puffin browser to type this post, it's a bit slower but at least it doesn't freeze.

KimMumsnet · 10/11/2018 19:10

Evening all. Thanks for your responses, and for being so patient - we know it's frustrating and will hopefully get to the bottom of it soon.
Flowers

Jux · 10/11/2018 21:44

Ysorry, still awful.

Jux · 11/11/2018 00:08

I have just typed out a post on an different thread.

3 shortish paragraphs, no more than 4 lines per para in the post box, so probably only 2 lines when actually posted. It took 55minutes. 55 minutes. I had bothered because I was curious about how long it would take and because that he particular poster really needed as much support as she could get and I thought it was worth letting her know how much support there was for her.

Just as I was getting to the end, the page reloaded because a problem occurred, so the post was lost.

That's how bad it is.

missclimpson · 11/11/2018 08:08

Terrible again this morning.

ClosdesMouches · 16/11/2018 14:59

Unusable still. This has been going on for weeks now!

PinkBuffalo · 17/11/2018 17:00

Sorry it's still bad for others. It seems to have been ok for me this week, so not sure what's happening

CarolineMumsnet · 17/11/2018 20:22

Hello

Thanks for letting us know that this issue is now much less of an issue for some of you. For those of you still putting up with it - we're so sorry about this (and Gin).

If the site is still playing up for you, could you just confirm it's safari and ipad/iphone you are on and also the iOS version you are using - thank you (and more Gin).
