Why does website keep reloading & losing everything I have typed?

I’m trying to cut and paste quotes and links from other websites and when I do, the MN page reloads and I lose everything I have typed! What is going on?

Drives me mad. Other forums I’m in retain draft posts.

This is currently gripping my shit.

I would be putting it in more polite terms but I have the hump after losing a long post. For the twelvety millionth time.

Drives me mad. It’s been doing it since the ‘upgrade’.

I think it's to do with the browser itself that automatically refreshes after a bit

It's driving me absolutely mad!

I can't go back to check on details mid post so have to rely on my memory & that's a worry.

losing so many posts is making me not want to bother anymore.

I've been here since almost the beginning & 'technically' we've been through a lot, but between this & it not capitalising the beginning of sentences, I'm almost ready for going cold Turkey.

It's only done it since the 'upgrade' & it doesn't do it on any other site. So, no, I doubt very much it's my browser.

It’s not my browser. Every other site is operating fine. It’s just this site today that is giving me the rage 😡 It was working fine yesterday.

Happens to me too. I am typing a long reply and the site refreshes itself. Very frustrating.

Hi all - oh that's really annoying. We'd like to figure out what's happening here.

To help us replicate the issue.
Please let us know your device and browser
Are you on desktop/mobile/app
How long has this been happening?
Does it only happen when you navigate away from Mumsnet?

Thank you

Thank you!
I am on an iPad using Safari. So not the mobile site, but the regular website.
Every time I leave the tab of MN and click on another tab within my browser, when I go back MN reloads and I lose everything I have typed so far.
So I can’t start copy and paste a quote from an article, then click back on the tab for the article to get the link without MN reloading and erasing the quote I originally copied and pasted.

This is a new thing.

As above but iphone safari.

And it isn’t every single time - perhaps 80-85%?

But law of sod says every time I want to post something lengthy it will happen.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 24/10/2022 15:23

Hi folks - thanks for this. It looks like this is an issue with an ad on the site - we're working on getting it sorted. Apologies for the annoyance in the mean time.

Discovereads · 24/10/2022 16:10

Wow that was quick. Thank you for chasing this down.
