Screen jumping about, might be related to adverts

[TidyDancer]

Difficult to describe this and I haven't noticed it with one specific board but every so often I find a page jumps about, I'll be reading a post then it'll be several posts up or down from where I was. It's been happening for a few weeks and is really annoying!

I'm on iPhone app if that's relevant. Sorry for terrible description!

I've noticed this too. While scrolling through the page, often nearly at the bottom, the page will suddenly jump back up to the first advert. Very annoying.

Yep this is happening to me too. So annoying.

Me too. I think it's the adverts (why must we be targeted) I can always just see the top of one when it leaps forwards or backwards.

It's really annoying isn't it? I'm sort of glad it's not just me though!

@MNHQ anything that can be done?

That sounds irritating TidyDancer - we're sorry to hear that.

Anyone finding it happening anywhere on the site in particular or just across the board(s)?

FWR has been doing it to me for days.

It doesn't happen every time and it's not limited to one particular board. It's only been recently as well, maybe the last month. It's really odd. After a while, it sometimes jumps back to where it was originally so it can actually do it twice without navigating away from the thread.

I assumed it was because the adverts take longer to load than the text, so once the advert has finished loading the page jumps back to it. It is super annoying 😒. If you were a slow reader you might not notice though I guess!

Same happening to me too, super annoying when I’m the middle of reading a post and the page jumps about.
On all boards that I have been on including this one!

Yes same here

Hi, all.
Sorry to hear this is causing problems. Could those of you who are experiencing this please post which device you are using, and which version of the iOS? That will help us to work out what might be happening.
Thank you!

iPhone 11 and whichever iOS is the most recent

iPad IOS 15.2

I'm on iPhone 12 and software version 14.6.

Huawei P30 Pro
EMUI 11.0.0. 01

Thanks so much for getting back to us with that information. Please bear with - we're on the case.

Yes, and that huge advert for Disney taking up most of the sides of the page needs to do one.

@MNHQ has there been any progress with this at all? It's still happening and really annoying. I'm using the same phone/app combination as before. Thanks!

Hi @MNHQ this is still happening multiple times per day. Appreciate it's probably not the most pressing issue, but it's really annoying!

This is happening to me too, on the app on iPhone and iPad - it's driving me bonkers, I'm forever scrolling up and down to try to find where I was up to...

It's got worse today. At times it's making the app almost unusable.

It's still happening, probably because the adverts are so huge. It's particularly annoying on the list of threads, I've clicked on the wrong thread numerous times as it jumps just as I'm trying to press the one I want to read.

we're sorry to hear how irritating this is and we will certainly chase this up to see what's causing it and whether we can stop it.

In the meantime at least there's

Hi @FlissMumsnet @MNHQ, is there any update on this? It's still happening and seems to be more frequent the last couple of days. Thanks!

Hi again @MNHQ, this is still happening a month on from my last post on this thread. Any update?
