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.

Same again.

Samsung Galaxy S7 using Google.

Weird.

AnyaMumsnet · 08/10/2018 16:16

Hi everyone,

We're so sorry about this, we've flagged it to tech now so we hope to have it fixed as soon as possible.

TheSassyAssassin · 08/10/2018 16:25

Thanks @AnyaMumsnet! Fingers crossed Smile - like going back in time, but whilst I might want my 90s skin and figure back, I think I'll leave the old style website! Grin

Graphista · 08/10/2018 16:40

Op it started yes very shortly before I posted. Sometimes this happens temporarily for me but if I close my mn Window and re-open it rights itself. Not this time.

AnyaMumsnet - hope it's sorted soon it is bloody annoying. I'm currently on desktop version but that's murder to use on the phone!

Also have to agree with others don't like the app at all, don't find it easy to use and frequently freezes/jumps.

ScienceIsTruth · 08/10/2018 16:44

Agree with Graphista, it's impossible to use the mobile version at the moment and desktop view is no better on a mobile. At least, I'll get on and do things now, as I can't use it like this!

HandsOffMyRights · 08/10/2018 16:47

I was just coming on to report exactly the same thing! Android. Samsung...

Working fine on my laptop.

HandsOffMyRights · 08/10/2018 16:48

Just noticed another Samsung Galaxy 7 on Google with same issue. Waves!!

Whywonttheyletmeusemyusername · 08/10/2018 16:50

Omg...same..thought it was me. Android user

BiteyShark · 08/10/2018 16:51

Same here. I think it's a ploy to make me use their app which I hate.

PortiaCastis · 08/10/2018 16:56

Same here using chrome on Android.
Sort it out please as site is almost unusable

BiteyShark · 08/10/2018 17:43

Looks like it's working for me now.

Graphista · 08/10/2018 17:45

Ok happening again occasionally. Having to use back button to get to it being right.

BiteyShark · 08/10/2018 17:45

Hmm well some parts are but not all Sad

BiteyShark · 08/10/2018 17:45

Yes same as Graphista

Graphista · 08/10/2018 17:52

If you scroll up, weirdness is back even on seemingly normal pages

LilyMumsnet · 08/10/2018 19:48

Hi all

Tech are working on a fix for this. Do hang in there, shouldn't be too long!

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 08/10/2018 19:51

I can see my sign in email address and it's telling me my email has been sent successfully.

Quodlibet · 08/10/2018 19:53

I'm getting a different problem where I just can't scroll down - whole window on my phone freezes up and I have to come out of safari to make anything work again.

Graphista · 08/10/2018 19:56

Ouch! Overtime for IT DEPT?

Glad it's being worked on though - also can't access my mn inbox.

EnidButton · 08/10/2018 20:32

Seems to be back to normal now. (For me anyway) Thanks MNHQ

OublietteBravo · 08/10/2018 20:33

I’m still getting fully expanded menus at the top of each page

Formatting on mobile is completely broken
Oddcat · 08/10/2018 20:34

Mine went all weird too , seems ok now .

@mnhq - any update on the 'freezing' problem ?

EnidButton · 08/10/2018 20:35

Oh how annoying!

Mine looks fine. Wonder why some people are back to normal and some not. Don't think it's just you.

LoisEinhorn · 08/10/2018 21:45

Still not back to normal for me.

UterusUterusGhali · 08/10/2018 22:45

I'm not getting the old-skool stuff, the mobile site is just not loading properly. It's taking ages and I just get a white page with no refreshing.

It happens occasionally but it's all the time tonight.

I'm on an iPhone.
