As the title says - it's recent - worked fine earlier.

Same for me, and I logged out and can't log back in on iPad and Safari. I can't use the app as my iPad is too old.
I'm currently using the puffin browser which allowed me to log in, but not on safari.

MintToBee · 17/05/2019 17:13

Its been like this for weeks for me. I did comment on a previous thread about it.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 17/05/2019 17:14

I did a thread about this months ago. Never got resolved, gave up in the end...

GeorgeTheBleeder · 17/05/2019 17:20

I don’t have that problem but, on the mobile site atm, I’m being returned to the start of threads on re-opening, even though I’ve invariably bookmarked them.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 17/05/2019 17:42

Same for me, it’s irritating.

UpOnDown · 17/05/2019 17:53

Same here (on firefox on a laptop)

SilverySurfer · 17/05/2019 18:14

I'm also on a laptop. I've been on a thread on here for months about Advanced Search not working properly - keep being promised Tech Team are on it with zero results. I guess I'll add this to my weekly bumps.

I'm beginning to wonder if the Tech Team actually consists of an elderly hamster with arthritis who can't manage to run round the wheel to keep the site working as intended.

Same here - Google Chrome on a laptop.

Interestingly, if I click the 'Popular Now' links .... the ones in the little box change colour but that's the only thing that does.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 17/05/2019 20:30

Same for me, Google Chrome. i kept bumping my thread, but i think it was forgotten about in the end. It's dropped off my Threads i started, but was last year.

CassandraCross · 17/05/2019 21:01

Same here, threads I've read not changing colour to show I've accessed them, either on the main Active List, within a topic or in the Trending Box.

It's annoying.

Google Chrome, Desktop Site, Laptop

CassandraCross · 17/05/2019 21:02

Mind you I've acquired a little 'Refresh' wheel in the Trending Box.

CassandraCross · 17/05/2019 21:12

Trending Talk box is randomly switching between Trending Talk and Mumsnet Talk Box

Trending Talk has little Refresh wheel.

Mumsnet Talk has Discussions of the Day and Trending Tabs.

Trending Talk changes colour if threads clicked on.

Mumsnet Talk does not change colour.

No obvious reason as to why the boxes are randomly swapping about.

Google Chrome, Laptop, Desktop Site.

WorraLiberty · 17/05/2019 21:44

Ooh my box just says 'Popular Now' whereas it used to say 'trending'.

icanhearapindrop · 17/05/2019 21:46

Ooh, this has just started happening to me this evening on my iPhone. It’s irrationally annoying!

WorraLiberty · 17/05/2019 21:50

Oh now it says 'trending talk' again.

CassandraCross · 17/05/2019 21:54

It's the way the boxes are randomly flipping between the two options which is disconcerting.

WorraLiberty · 17/05/2019 22:09

Yes I just noticed the random flipping as I refresh the page.

CassandraCross · 17/05/2019 22:13

Okay that was weird, all the threads I have clicked on were highlighted in Active one minute ago, and then they all returned to un-highlighted.

Gremlins in the works?

NoWordForFluffy · 17/05/2019 22:21

There's so many gremlins right now it's finding something which actually works which is harder!

GreyhoundzRool · 18/05/2019 06:28

Yep happening here too for the last 24 hrs or so. Desktop safari iOS 12.2

GeorgeTheBleeder · 18/05/2019 08:49

Bookmarks are working again on the mobile site!

Relief! The Archers threads (my spiritual home) generally run to just short of 1000 posts; I wasn’t looking forward to having to scroll ...

Dickensnovel · 18/05/2019 14:55

Read threads not changing color here. I am on a MacBook using Chrome browser . Started this issue yesterday, and still continuing.

Does anyone at Mumsnet read what we put here???

HelenaDove · 18/05/2019 16:40

same here Waterfox on a laptop.

ScreamingValenta · 18/05/2019 17:31

Same here, for the last 24 hours. Annoying! Safari on laptop.

Trillis · 18/05/2019 18:57
