Broken might not be the right word but it looks like this (see pics)

I'm using the mobile site with an iPhone on Safari.

I can't see the screen shots I attatched. It's all laid out in basic text with spaces represented as dots and everything is a vertical list. Can't describe it very well!

Singerleon · 08/10/2018 15:06

Its like being back in chat rooms in the 00’s

EnidButton · 08/10/2018 15:11

That's what it reminds me of!

It's making me feel dizzy for some reason. Hopefully they'll have it sorted soon.

Yes although when I’ve gone back to a thread “I’m on”, the lines/colours etc were ok

Redglitter · 08/10/2018 15:12

I'm using the mobile site on Chrome on Android & it's fine.

Graphista · 08/10/2018 15:13

Also started a thread there's quite a few of us having same issue iOS AND android

Only person not is using desktop

Picklepickle123 · 08/10/2018 15:13

Same here - android user!

Endofthelinefinally · 08/10/2018 15:13

Mine is the same.
I keep seeing a screen telling me that short cuts are hidden and my email has been sent successfully.
Very strange.
At least it isn't just me.

PurpleDaisies · 08/10/2018 15:23

Same for me too-iPhone 5 s, Safari mobile site

Wildboar · 08/10/2018 15:26

It’s bad for me too, basic text and no pictures. Also telling me my email was sent successfully when I haven’t sent an email.

TrudeauGirl · 08/10/2018 15:41

Same mines gone all weird too. Looks like a basic 90s website and is very hard to navigate

JennyOnAPlate · 08/10/2018 15:42

Me too! It's hideous. Sort it out mnhq pretty please!

OokSaidTheLibrarian · 08/10/2018 15:43

Same for me Chrome on Android.

Crocky · 08/10/2018 15:44

Mines intermittent. Some pages load normally and some are very weird.

PickAChew · 08/10/2018 15:45

Someone's buggered up the stylesheet. I thought my WiFi was being an arse again

PickAChew · 08/10/2018 15:46

I couldn't see the screen shots until I switched from mobile to desktop. That's painful in its own right on my phone.

TheSassyAssassin · 08/10/2018 15:48

Awful. It's like some kind of weird time warp! Shock On Android and it is beyond painful. Like the BetaMax version of MN! Confused

EnidButton · 08/10/2018 16:00

Graphista I think we posted our threads at the same time. I'd only just come in for the first time today and it was already like that. Do you know if it has been weird for a while or did it start around the time we both posted about it?

No idea if that'll help them but it might. It's such hard work to post even though all the right buttons etc are here...it's just so weird.

Yeurgh, mine too. On Android.It's like using the only computer in school back in ye olden days.

PCPlumsTruncheon · 08/10/2018 16:06

Glad it’s not just me Glitterball

TheSassyAssassin · 08/10/2018 16:13

So just logged onto laptop and it's back to normal...so def mobile phone view affected only. @MNHQ what are the timescales for a fix because it is truly awful on a phone?! Ta!
