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

I've had enough. I'm not using Mumsnet until it's fixed now.

blackheartsgirl · 21/10/2018 23:24

Im still having this problem..on every single thread and its getting worse, thread unreadable now.

Samsung A5.

blackheartsgirl · 21/10/2018 23:25

Im not using mumsnet either until its fixed

AGHHHH · 21/10/2018 23:43

Thought I'd check back and it is the fucking M&S ads and still no update, how long does it take?!

The site is unusable.

SilverHairedCat · 22/10/2018 07:05

It's even happening on the Active Threads page now!

Still ongoing on my Sony phone.

RoseReally · 22/10/2018 07:08

I'm having this too, really annoying. Would make sense if it was the m&s advert as have been looking on the website the last couple of days sonpf course will follow me round the internet!

TallulahBetty · 22/10/2018 07:09

Happening on every single thread this morning Angry

SilverHairedCat · 22/10/2018 07:14

It's definitely the M&S advert. I chanced it an tapped on the black screen at the top and it took me to their website. There's no way to block it either, as it doesn't offer you the X that most advert do, it just locks up your screen!

emwithme · 22/10/2018 07:14

Yup, getting this too. Samsung A5, Android, chrome. And not only when the m&s advert is up but that is definitely one of the culprits

DuchessofManchester · 22/10/2018 07:22

Still happening on my Samsung too! Angry ironically this is the only thread it's not happened on yet.

Flameless · 22/10/2018 07:33

It really is bad this morning.

Struggling to even post now as keeps freezing

MemoryOfSleep · 22/10/2018 07:43

Me too! Come on, mumsnet. Sort it out please!

Cheripie64 · 22/10/2018 07:45

I cant read this thread, because guess what? Confused

DrMumMum · 22/10/2018 07:50

It's taken four times to post this. Driving me mad this morning. Come on, mn!

Cuttingthegrass · 22/10/2018 07:52

On my iPad the page just won’t load and the screen freezes. It is better on my phone (think I’m using the app on phone)

Agree I’ve stopped browsing mum’s net over the weekend as just too infuriating.

Happygummibear · 22/10/2018 08:02

I am typing my text into a text message then copy and paste it in.

This is very irritating

OnlyGlowingSlightly · 22/10/2018 08:04

Definitely getting worse (for me). I get a few seconds, then have to refresh the page. Have to write posts in an external app then paste in.

Definitely the M&S ads.

Samsung Galaxy S7 here.

@Mumsnet Can you at least please reduce the frequency of the M&S ads in the meantime? (To a maximum if it's personalised) Of course the best thing to do would be to switch them off for affected mobiles until they fix them.

It really does makes the site almost unusable.

Is this actually a mumsnet scheme to curb my addiction to the Christmas threads?

bastardkitty · 22/10/2018 08:07

Heartily sick of this issue too. Also android/chrome. Have been constantly refreshing.

DappledThings · 22/10/2018 08:09

Yep, definitely worse. Refreshing each page doesn't fix it anymore

OnlyGlowingSlightly · 22/10/2018 08:18

I've just installed Opera. Slower than chrome but has ad-blocking built in.

Sorry @mumsnet Sad Will allow ads again once you fix it.

MorrisZapp · 22/10/2018 08:19

Mine getting worse too. Huawei and chrome.
