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.

Android phone here but using Chrome not the app. It is taking me several goes to open every thread.

Newcatmum · 11/02/2020 20:08

I'm on the mobile site (android and chrome) this has been happening all day I've been cursing myself thinking I'm being clumsy and clicking the wrong thread so came here to see. Happened when I tried to open this thread too.

slipperywhensparticus · 11/02/2020 20:10

Yes I didnt really want to read the baby name thread or the flat earth one but I ended up there

Rubytinsleslippers · 11/02/2020 20:13

Yes!! I actually started my own thread about this as it's taken me 5 attempts to get here!!! I am usually bumped to the blue threads ( no, I do not want the magazine or for my family to trial supliments )... Or some random thread...on my mobile, android.
Mumsnet - please make it stop as it is ruining my experience.

Namechangeymcnamechange11 · 11/02/2020 20:17

So glad this isn't just my new phone and/or fat fingers. It's bloody irritating is what it is!

Also android using Chrome not the app.
MNHQ, you said releasing an update for the app, but most people have said they're using the browser?

Rainbowunicat · 11/02/2020 20:58

I'm using chrome on an android phone. It is unbearably bad now, the site is just completely unusable for me.
If it's not going to be fixed for months then I'll just leave. What a shame.

BinkySodPlop · 11/02/2020 21:05

Started for me today - mobile site, android phone via chrome. I thought it was my impatience / touching the screen before it properly loaded.

TwoHeadedYellowBelliedHoleDig · 11/02/2020 21:12

It's not been a problem for me this afternoon Grin

Nottobesniffedat · 11/02/2020 23:39

Yes, started today. Using Android Tablet & mobile on Chrome. Seems to be opening threads 1-2 above or below.
Also about 15-20 seconds to load the page.
Tried other forums and they're fine.
Can't you just undo whatever updates you made?

terfsandwich · 12/02/2020 16:44

This is happening to me. Huawei (not Android?) using Chrome app. In Australia if that makes a difference.

Beamur · 12/02/2020 16:49

Happening to me too. Android phone.
Several goes to open this thread!

dementedpixie · 12/02/2020 16:51

Its a total pain in the arse. Slow to open and then you dont know which thread is going to open when it eventually loads

AutumnCrow · 12/02/2020 17:02

It's still opening wrongly and very very slowly for me. (Chrome, tablet.)

TwoHeadedYellowBelliedHoleDig · 12/02/2020 17:11

I spoke too soon. It's back!

PortiaCastis · 12/02/2020 17:29

Yep back for me too, I tried to open a thread and a very different random thread appeared instead

purpleme12 · 12/02/2020 23:34

I'm on Android not using the app. On Google

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 13/02/2020 08:22

Still happening a LOTHmm

bertdynamite · 13/02/2020 08:32

Has been happening to me, using the mobile site on a tablet, for a few days now. Glad the problem is not me, but it's very annoying.

Ostanovka · 13/02/2020 16:01

Happening to me too all week, mobile site on android, not the app. I use chrome.

FlissMumsnet · 13/02/2020 16:10

It sounds like many of you are not using the app but the mobile site so we'll make sure that information is heard by the right people.

We're so sorry to hear how frustrating it is for you all and we will do all we can to push for solutions faster rather than slower.

ClementineWardobe · 13/02/2020 16:28

Mobile site Android phone, using chrome. Last three days its been happening

MamehaSan · 13/02/2020 16:31

Yep, still going on... mobile site, chrome browser, andriod phone. No app in sight. I clicked on this thread and it opened one five places above it in the active convos list - a thread that wasn't even visible on my screen at the time! It's ruining the experience, please get it sorted!

FreezerBird · 13/02/2020 16:36

Same here - android phone, mobile site. I'm used to having to wait for the little jump the threads do once the page has loaded but even having waited it's taking me three attempts to open a thread. Sometimes opening the one directly above on the list, sometimes one four or five places above, sometimes below.

To be honest it's making the site completely unusable.

It's beginning to drive me nuts. I just asked DD 12 if I could shoot MN. She said yes. Grin
