To wonder why I keep being thrown into threads I didnt select

It keeps happening. Everytime I click on a thread a different one opens. It's driving me mad. Anyone else having the same problem?

Yes it's always happened to me, I assumed it was my phone. I'll select one thread and then either a thread underneath or a few underneath/above will pop up instead.

I've started zooming in before selecting a thread, seems to work so far

JustAnotherMumTho · 11/04/2020 21:47

Happens to me too! I'd always just assumed I was fat fingered and pressing the wrong one, but maybe not!

sorryiasked · 11/04/2020 21:47

On my phone it's because the banner ad at the top of the page is slow to load and when it does it moves the threads down by a couple. Drives me mad too

ThisMustBeMyDream · 11/04/2020 21:48

Happens to me all the time. I assume it jumps just as I select. Combination of ads loading and slow internet or slow phone. I don't know which to blame!

BreconBeBuggered · 11/04/2020 21:49

Don't get it with threads as such, but my fat finger scrolling constantly takes me to 'Get started' or 'View all messages' when I try to move onto a new page. Drives me nuts.

Heygirlheyboy · 11/04/2020 21:51

I thought it was because of a crack on my phone!

Bringmewineandcake · 11/04/2020 21:51

Me too, I think it's the advertising in the middle.

Minesacider · 11/04/2020 21:51

This has been happening to me, I thought it was clumsy thumbs, or my old phone going on the blink.

DailyKegelReminder · 11/04/2020 21:52

It happens to me but only when I've hid a thread. Its like the app hasn't caught up and takes me to the thread underneath. Weird.

Happens to me too, really annoying. Glad to see it's not just me.

motherheroic · 11/04/2020 21:55

The page isn't fully loaded, so you're not clicking what you think you're clicking.

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 11/04/2020 21:56

It's incredibly annoying.

Carbosug · 11/04/2020 22:13

I haven't experienced this on any other forum. Fed up reading opening posts, bewildered as to what they have to do with the title, then realising I'm in a completely different thread.

This happens to me loads and it's really annoying.

SandyY2K · 11/04/2020 22:49

Same here. Its annoying.

SunshineDays2019 · 11/04/2020 22:53

Agreed! It's been driving me bananas, definitely worse recently. It took 3 attempts to open this thread!!

tessiegirl · 11/04/2020 22:58

Oh my goodness! Happens to me too!

Bigjobbiewheecker · 11/04/2020 23:00

Me too! I told my DH my phone was goosed.

emilybrontescorsett · 11/04/2020 23:03

Same here.

Bookbandconfusion · 11/04/2020 23:05

Yes, v annoying. Glad it's not just me!

Heygirlheyboy · 11/04/2020 23:05

And now I keep on being brought back to this thread! Hmm

GulliBelle · 11/04/2020 23:08

I thought it was me, apparently not.

Cheshire1973 · 11/04/2020 23:09

Yes, me too. Only been happening for the last few weeks though. No change in phone, think it's the slow loading pages.

AntiHop · 11/04/2020 23:11

Oh yes me too.

Lougle · 11/04/2020 23:12

It's always happened to me. It can take 3 attempts to get to the right thread.
