I’m on iPhone in the mobile view and logged in but my bottom bar of active I’m on etc have all disappeared. Help!

Although they are on this page but when I just browse they are not there.

I am finding the mobile site is a bit glitchy today. Sometimes the buttons take a while to turn up or don't show up at all. When I click the post message button it also loads forever and won't let me refresh the page. And I got a couple of timeout errors last night as well (but when I did manage to load the page, my message had gone through).

Hi @Akire thanks for letting us know. Please can you send a screenshot and also let us know the version of browser that you're using? Flowers

Normally the bar would be floating at the bottom.

I’m using safari on iPhone it’s up to date I don’t know how to find what version it is. Sorry

Although I’ve worked out if I go in a thread reply box, press any key in the type box they then appear and I can navigate out.

@GiantKitten

I’ve got buttons on safari on phone.
(But I deleted rugby image before posting! Confused That was a phone photo album glitch)

I'm on Chrome on Android, but not on phone right now. Will send a screenshot if it happens again later!

Akire · 06/07/2021 16:21

It’s still doing it. Have to click on text box and “done” for each page for the bar to appear. Then it disappears again

Hello - came to see if there was a thread in this as I’ve got the same problem. On an iPhone, using safari.

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 06/07/2021 16:38

iPhone, safari, no problems here as yet 🙏🏻 They do disappear but always come right back when I scroll down (famous last words)

PuppyMonkey · 06/07/2021 16:47

@Akire thanks for the tip about going into a text box and then typing done - that works for me too.Confused

PuppyMonkey · 06/07/2021 16:48

Bit annoying to have to do it all the time though.Sad

soniamumsnet · 06/07/2021 17:02

Thanks for the reports - we're taking a look. A screenshot would be really helpful @BertieBotts. Flowers

BertieBotts · 06/07/2021 18:00

Mine (Android) seems to be working fine again now. :)

SpaceRaiders · 06/07/2021 22:56

Same issue here too. It’s driving me bonkers and ruining my MN bedtime browsing experience.

PuppyMonkey · 07/07/2021 08:22

No change this morning, thought it might have fixed itself overnight.Sad

Akire · 07/07/2021 08:25

No still not fixed!

PuppyMonkey · 07/07/2021 08:25

Still only comes back if I click on the text box and tap “done”. But when I actually write a post in the text box like this, and press “done” then hit “post” the buttons all disappear again.

PuppyMonkey · 07/07/2021 16:54

Just an update, I was clicking around again on threads, going forward and backward etc, and suddenly on one page a “Show Shortcut Buttons” option came up and I clicked that and it’s all fixed now. Maybe I clicked it off or something and that’s why they disappeared! Anyway, just passing this on in case anyone else does the same thing by mistake!?Blush

gamerchick · 07/07/2021 16:56

Do you have the little arrow on your page that opens to show this OP?

SpaceRaiders · 07/07/2021 16:57

@PuppyMonkey I just did the same and it solved it! Blush

PuppyMonkey · 07/07/2021 17:02

@SpaceRaiders yay!

Akire · 07/07/2021 17:52

Mystery solved! Thank goodness for that! Though no Idea how I managed turn mine off. Gin for @PuppyMonkey
