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?

If you're using an iPad, you could download another browser - I also use Puffin, which doesn't have the freezing issues, but it's still a pain not to be able to use Safari.

What iOS are you using? Mine updated to 12 recently and doesn’t seem to be having any problems at all

CherLooksYoungerThanMe · 06/10/2018 20:45

I'm having problems too. Not upgraded to iOS 12 - it's a work device and they've advised against the upgrade.

Oddcat · 06/10/2018 21:37

Mines still freezing , I'm on an iPhone- is it worth upgrading to iOS 12 ?

PinkBuffalo · 06/10/2018 21:47

It keeps freezing for me to! I have to keep closing down. Been like it since yesterday I think. I thought it was just cos I got a mega old iPad, but I can't afford a new one so was just putting up with it!

Page kept freezing on iphone. Okay on Samsung tablet.

Chewbecca · 06/10/2018 22:56

I haven't updated to ios12, no. But everything except MN is working fine so I don't think it has anything to do with our devices.

I have updated and absolutely everything is fine though. It wasn’t before.

SoupDragon · 06/10/2018 23:03

(ie MN and only MN was dodgy before)

Me too!

LilyMumsnet · 07/10/2018 10:26

Hi all,

We don't have any updates yet but hoping this is resolved soon. So sorry for all the faff this is causing. Flowers

MadisonAvenue · 07/10/2018 11:12

I haven't updated my iPad to iOS12 and neither have I updated my phone but it works fine on that and it's only Mumsnet which I have a problem with on my iPad.

Blackoutblinds · 07/10/2018 11:35

At one point today I must’ve tried to reload a page 25 or 30 times. No exaggeration.

SoupDragon · 07/10/2018 12:35

Just to be clear, I’m not saying you should have to upgrade to 12 to get it to work, just that I had lots of issues with MN on my iPad before and none at all after. It might help narrow down where the problem is.

Lokisglowstickofdestiny · 07/10/2018 12:39

I'm not sure it's the OS. I'm not running the most up to date version by a long chalk and it's fine for me.

SoupDragon · 07/10/2018 12:44

Mine was fine up to one of the last 11 updates.

SoupDragon · 07/10/2018 12:45

As in iOS 11, not 11 updates

I think it’s always hard to pin these sort of errors down TBH, especially when it’s not everyone all of the time.

Becca19962014 · 07/10/2018 15:15

Ive been having issues with ads and pages reloading and typing taking ages to appear for a long time.

There was a thread on here about it I don't think it ever got resolved - in my case automatic playing ads cause a lot of problems with memory and using up mobile data.

I don't know if it's related this time or not though.

Oddcat · 07/10/2018 18:12

@mnhq - sorry bang on about this , but it's getting really annoying! Have you found the reason for this ?

Tangofandango · 07/10/2018 18:44

My iPad has been like this since Friday. Slow to load then freezes. Phone is fine.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 07/10/2018 19:07

Mine has suddenly fixed itself!

TofuCat · 07/10/2018 19:16

Mine was fine last night and this morning for a few hours but has started freezing again :(

CramptonHodnet · 07/10/2018 19:19

Mumsnet has stopped working on my Kindle Fire. Can't open any threads. It's still working on my phone, for now.

Jackyjill6 · 08/10/2018 01:28

What was the problem MNHQ? I have only just managed to get on after a couple of days of just screen freeze whenever I tried on my iPad?

MadisonAvenue · 08/10/2018 10:41

Mine is still freezing.
