Black areas on mobile

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

Worse than ever here today. The site is often almost unusable.

Please do something, or at least update us about what the problem actually is.

Topseyt · 20/10/2018 16:01

Not sure if anyone is even paying attention to this. Poor show.

Topseyt · 20/10/2018 16:05

I wouldn't say either that it is definitely connected to the M & S ads. Seems to be any of them as far as I can see.

troodiedoo · 20/10/2018 16:07

I've been getting this too. Samsung s7

Winewinewinewine · 20/10/2018 17:39

Ok. This is getting ridiculous now. I just got this! Whole screen covered. Has Tech gone home for the weekend?

Getting it a LOT today.

Really very annoying

Dermymc · 20/10/2018 19:32

It's worse when I try to write a message.

ConfusedMum82 · 20/10/2018 19:34

Yes same here, been happening for about a fortnight. I'm on android, Samsung A3 just in case you're looking for a pattern.

Nephrite · 20/10/2018 21:09

Same. Samsung A3

Winewinewinewine · 20/10/2018 22:30

LouiseHumphreys81 · 20/10/2018 23:39

This is driving me loopy. Its on multiple boards. I think it's trying to show me a YouTube video, as one finally popped up earlier but I didn't get a screenshot of the link.

It's making the site unworkable. I can't screen record, as leaving the page to turn the recorder on resets the page and it all disappears.

SilverHairedCat · 20/10/2018 23:56

Oh, Huawei P20. Android, Chrome. Fully up to date on add ons etc.

Blink1982 · 21/10/2018 01:24

Samsung s8 here. Seems loads of us are sanmsung... wnder if thats part of the problem

Happygummibear · 21/10/2018 07:15

After the re direction issue and now this I am getting truly fed up. Even had to refresh to make this post and again as it happened midway through my post!

I also have the m &s ad....

Please sort it out this is getting tedious now

Hangingtrousers · 21/10/2018 07:20

Thought this was just me as I have a new phone! I get this too. It's annoying!

Hangingtrousers · 21/10/2018 07:21

I have a Huawei.

PandoNoPants · 21/10/2018 07:25

Huawei p10 Pro, Android, Chrome. Thought I was going mad! Can't really read threads at all.

tribpot · 21/10/2018 07:31

Dreadful again today, site unusable from mobile. Sort your tech out, MN. (And I mean both tech and Tech).

NewtScamandersNaughtyNiffler · 21/10/2018 07:48

Happening here too. Using chrome on a Samsung Galaxy s9

Allthepinkunicorns · 21/10/2018 07:49

Yup it's so annoying, black screen and all the posts are jumbled up. Please sort it out mumsnet it's been happening for a week or so for me.

aintnothinbutagstring · 21/10/2018 07:53

Happening to me too, it's awful, on a new Huawei psmart with latest Android. worse on new phone than old Huawei p9 with older android system.

B00dyM4ry · 21/10/2018 08:18

It is the m&s advert - happens every time the a m&s ad appears on the site.

You can temporarily reset by refreshing the page but it comes back. Is getting a tad annoying Mn - this has been happening with these ads for weeks.
