…why?

It’s 2021. Isn’t there a better platform?

@MNHQ?

Any update?

Still crap - you'd think with the MN tech support specialists being on holiday from School, it would be fixed quicker than this.

isthismylifenow · 01/08/2021 19:26

Same here and I am in another country so cannot be a provider issue.

It has been awful for around the last 2 months.

So instead, I am going to go and clean out the fridge which is as equally annoying.

Hi again @LimeRedBanana (and everyone else),

Really sorry everything's going so very s-l-o-w-l-y. We're working on a fix and will hopefully have this sorted soon.

I thought it was my iPad! Glad to see it's not just me then.

AnyFucker · 01/08/2021 19:33

Slow here this evening

GreenTeaPingPong · 01/08/2021 19:38

Every time I click on a new page, I get the slow loading spinny thing. But then if I click the cancel cross on my browser then click again on the new page it seems to load more quickly. Weird

Graphista · 01/08/2021 19:58

I was having a crappy day yesterday for other reasons but yes was laggy as hell yesterday!

Slightly better today but not great.

I love mn but man they're bad on the tech side!

JoMumsnet · 01/08/2021 20:21

Right, back again - thanks so much for bearing with us.

Hopefully these issues should be resolved now. Do things feel speedier yet? Please let us know if not.

LimeRedBanana · 01/08/2021 21:00

Yes, it is faster again - thanks for resolving.

But as I asked upthread, is there not a wider discussion to be had about the platform MN uses?

How long until this inevitably happens again?

Yes, faster here - thanks for sorting it Smile

Seems to have slowed down again tonight.

AgentProvocateur · 03/08/2021 21:57

Slower than a week in the jail tonight. And getting error messages too.

Renovation2021 · 03/08/2021 22:06

Super slow tonight!!

AnneLovesGilbert · 03/08/2021 22:08

Yep. Same.
Datsandcogs · 03/08/2021 22:13

Yes, very slow. I thought it was the ‘Ranger’ parking thread.

Newbornandupwards · 03/08/2021 22:17

Yes dreadful this evening

LimeRedBanana · 03/08/2021 22:19

Yep, every other website loads instantly.

But with ol’ Mumsnet, the hamsters are running madly around the wheel, but nothing’s happening…

Phepho · 03/08/2021 22:21

I thought it was my WiFi connection, it's super slow tonight

Undersnatch · 03/08/2021 22:29

It’s awful again tonight, barely useable it’s so slow…

ilovesooty · 03/08/2021 22:36

Definitely slow again tonight with error messages coming up for me too.

DiscoDown21 · 03/08/2021 22:44

So slowwwwwwHmm

soniamumsnet · 04/08/2021 10:32

Hi - just dropping in to say thanks for the reports. We're taking a look into this now. Flowers

LokiOfAsgard · 10/08/2021 22:24

Awful for me. Painfully slow.

Reevesandmortimer · 10/08/2021 22:27

Slowest it's been for me, very frustrating, other websites are fine.
