It's back again - Random thread opening

103 replies

TwoHeadedYellowBelliedHoleDig · 06/02/2020 20:25

Ages ago there was an issue where on the mobile site you would click on a thread title in Active and a random thread 3-5 threads up the list would open instead.

Now it's back, and just as irritating.

And I tried to start a thread earlier but it says it's been auto-deleted.

Yep, me too. It actually took me three attempts to open this Hmm

nothingcomestonothing · 06/02/2020 23:55

Same, v annoying!

DramaAlpaca · 06/02/2020 23:57

Same here, but I'm using the desktop site on a tablet.

Thank god for that, I thought my phone was knackered! This has been happening to me since last night.

DioneTheDiabolist · 07/02/2020 11:37

Been happening to me too. Also, have wasted time typing responses that end up in the name bar.Confused

TwoHeadedYellowBelliedHoleDig · 07/02/2020 14:03

Is it the adverts loading too slowly? Dunno. All I know is if I open a thread about cheating husbands and end up with one about poo crumbs it's all a bit confusing.

HoneysuckIejasmine · 07/02/2020 14:04

Yep, same. Took more than one attempt to open this.

CarolineMumsnet · 07/02/2020 16:43

Urgh. Sorry to hear this issue seems to have returned for some of you.

Just checking, this is on desktop and mobile site? If you could let us know the devices you are using, that would also be really helpful.

In the meantime, we'll take a look our end to see if we can see what's going on here. Flowers

Mobile site on an android phone. No issues on desktop, where there is an ad blocker.

I wasn't trying to open this thread but since I'm here, yes it's happening to me on the mobile site using Chrome on an Android device.

Foobydoo · 07/02/2020 19:47

Me too, it's been happening all day. I thought it was my fat fingers until it still happened when I was extra careful.

SirChing · 07/02/2020 20:57

Same here! Mobile site on Android phone. Site is also slow as hell too.

DioneTheDiabolist · 07/02/2020 21:49

Another Mobile Site on Android phone.

Flev · 08/02/2020 16:37

Same problem here - mobile site on an Android phone (and running an ad-blocker entirely due to previous problems caused by mumsnet ads!)

lazylinguist · 08/02/2020 17:40

Yep, same here. Android mobile too.

FlibbertyGiblets · 08/02/2020 17:56

Same. Android, mobile site.

NothingTraLaLa · 08/02/2020 21:59

Android mobile here, too. Accessing through Chrome.

Rosehipbubbles · 09/02/2020 08:47

Mobile site, android, S7
Top adverts very slow to load and it's making everything laggy. Means when you click a thread you don't get that thread but most likely the one above it ( which you don't want!) It's infuriating and making the site very difficult to use. I've tried waiting for the top advert to fully load but even then it's still hit and miss.

V1Rotate · 09/02/2020 09:23

MN is so shit at the mo, I spend more time on Reddit.

Drinkciderfromalemon · 09/02/2020 13:18

Glad it's not just me!!! Mobile, android. Click 'food', open 'tattoos'... click on a thread, get one 5 above it. Driving me crazy!!

PorpentinaScamander · 09/02/2020 13:20

Same here. It's a pita.

Using chrome on an android phone.

Apileofballyhoo · 09/02/2020 13:26

Mobile, android. Very irritating.

BookMeOnTheSudExpress · 09/02/2020 13:28

It's always happened to me! Didn't realise it was a thing- thought it was my fat fingers!
I opened a s&b thread four times just now (same one) before I managed to get the one I wanted opened.

MamehaSan · 09/02/2020 13:31

Still happening for me... (mobile site on android phone)
