Gone from having the spam pop-ups to not being able to post 50% of the time. All other sites working fine. Samsung Note 9, Chrome.

Hello @MrsMozartMkII - we're sorry you're having issues with the site today - we'll try and get to the bottom of it as soon as we can.

Can we ask, what exactly is happening when you try to post? Thanks Flowers

Bookaholic73 · 10/08/2019 16:15

Same here.
The last 3 times I’ve been reading, spam ads pop up and blocks me from the site.

S1naidSucks · 10/08/2019 16:18

Bloody so called ‘prize winner’ popping up.

@YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet the irony - this is attempt number three to reply to you. This time I got the pop-up spam box, whereas usually the page is just unresponsive. I can type and words appear, press 'Post' and the button fades out but nothing else happens. I then can't go to Active etc., but can go to the top and click on Talk, which works most of the time.

Update: no idea if you'll actually get to read this as it won't post! So I can go back into the text box, with the Post button still showing as faded, but can't actually post it.

Yay! Copied it, refreshed the page, pasted, pressed Post. It still fades but did post, albeit slowly.

Update: same issue again with this one...

Same here! Ive posted the same reply 5 times to a post, nothing!
I have to keep refreshing the page.

BobbyGentry · 10/08/2019 16:29

‘prize winner’ popping up here too. Closed page and cleared cache history which will hopefully help.

I had the same issue this morning with posting a reply on the post about not having kids call mums new oh grandad. I also had the popup, but I've had that happen a few times in the past week or so. I ended up copying my reply and was able to post it a few hours later.

MrsMozartMkII · 10/08/2019 16:34

I'm off the site till it's behaving.

The pop-up is happening whichever way I try to navigate around the site.

Update: doubt you'll get to see this my new trick isn't working. And I can't 'Select All', it goes straight to 'Paste'.

Same here can’t post on some threads, button fading out & pop up winner!

MrMeSeeks · 10/08/2019 16:39

I have to repeatedly turn my internet on and off and refresh the page repeatedly till it posts, but im leaving the site, had enough of the spam!

Ginmel · 10/08/2019 16:43

The preview and post buttons just go light blue

MrsMozartMkII · 10/08/2019 17:13

Trying it on the laptop - will 'update' this post (if I can).

MrsMozartMkII · 10/08/2019 17:14

It worked! Slow, but worked first time without th need to copy and refresh and paste.

Same here, plus the Winner pop up (Safari, iPhone).

DollyTwat · 10/08/2019 17:17

I’m getting the prize winner pop up too. Iphone 7 on safari
