Black areas on mobile

[AGHHHH]

Anyone else get this? If I'm browsing the site on my phone if I've come back to my browser from using another app the thread will be all fuzzy and have random black blocks all through it before I refresh.

Simple fix but still annoying. :s

Can you send me a screenshot please of what you see and what page were you on?
What phone and browser are you using?

No black boxes since the 29th.

Just happened again to me. The boxes actually flickered for a couple of seconds then went black. Duplicated posts too. Android Samsung s8

Happened again for me just now.

@angiemumsnet here's what it's doing today for me. Slightly different

It's still happening to me. I'm also getting continual Mumsnet popups asking me to accept the cookies terms and conditions

This only happens on mumsnet, I've not had it on any other website.
It always starts from the block ad at the top, included in the picture, and then spreads down the page, this is clearly a mumsnet issue with how some of the ads interact with the page

Still... Christ.

It's happening less, but it's happening. 3 times in the past 24 hours.

I've just had white boxes

My phone doesn’t show ads so works fine. I can’t use the iPad as it just freezes constantly

I was just coming on to say that Mumsnet freezes and takes ages to load on my iPad (in a way that doesn't happen with any other sites). Beyond crapola really.

When i open a page i get a white block at the top which then goes. I also get a block at the top which flickers really fast like strobe lighting then turns black, then after a while changes to an ad. Definitely a mumsnet ad problem. I don't get it on any other site. Samsung chrome. Will screenshot when i next get it

@mnhq

Ok, so twice today I've had a box at the top that flickers very fast and then turns black for a while. Both times I've clicked on the black box and it's been an advert for O2. So I'll see if i can block 02 next time.

I've had big white boxes twice, also.

@Killybashangel I'm also having the same problem with the flickering O2 advert causing the screen to go blank. I'm quite fed up that we aren't being told what is being done to resolve the problem.

I tried to block the O2 ad but i can only get to it by clicking on the black box which opens the ad and then i can't see a way to block it

I've had a couple of white and black boxes today. I'll report my post so that MN are aware.

Anyone there?????

I've had a reply ...

Thank you for posting that DeadBod At least we know that it is being looked into

I havent had any problems for about 2 weeks now it's back again this morning black and white boxes.

Just had it again. Clicked on the black box and it was the 02 ad again.

Thanks for the reports. We're still trying to track down what could be causing the black box infestation.

We've got something to try - which should help to narrow things down:

If you put your phone into safe mode, and the boxes stop appearing - then that will get us a lot nearer to finding out what's causing the problem. Please let us know if the black boxes are still there when you look at the site when the phone is in safe mode.

Here are some instructions for putting a Samsung Galaxy S5 into safe mode

And here are some general Android phone instructions

Hopefully one of you with the issue will try this and let us know - it really will be a big help in diagnosing the problem.

Thanks in advance.
