@KimberleyClark - glad it's worked for you, too.

@BewitchedBotheredandBewildered - can you please let us know which device and which version of the site you're using? (desktop/mobile/app). Thank you.

SirChenjins · 25/10/2022 11:34

Seems to be working ok again now - no cache clearing needed

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 25/10/2022 11:34

Chromebook and desktop - I think!
Sorry to be clueless.

I had to open a different browser just to find this thread, as the problem makes Chrome so unusable.

Shutting and restarting chrome didn't help, although a few hours earlier, just starting a new tab did.

Anyway, if you are reading this, and using Chrome, try pressing Ctrl and F5 key simultaneously while browsing. Apparently, this clears the cache for just the site you are on.

I have cleared my cache for MN and switched iPad on and off and it is not right still, it seems fine on my iMac and iPhone though and was always ok on my iMac so am just using those for now, hopefully it will be ok later on my iPad. It must be something to do with iPad Safari as I think that is probably different version to iPhone and iMac

Plasmodesmata · 25/10/2022 13:59

I can use on my laptop and all good, but my phone is still showing the weird version. (Android phone).

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 25/10/2022 14:31

Is anyone trying to fix this?
It's horrible!

purpleme12 · 25/10/2022 15:52

This has started happening to me on my phone today

Having to use my laptop to use mn

Cats1234567 · 25/10/2022 15:59

Same here I have also had these problems where my screen went like that, I have just had to delete all of my search history and cookies, now it’s back to normal.

User17956743 · 25/10/2022 16:06

Could you try browsing in incognito and let us know if the issue persists on there?

Plasmodesmata · 25/10/2022 17:25

My phone is fixed now because I deleted today's history.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 25/10/2022 17:37

Just tried opening Incognito window and it went back to normal.
But what does that mean?

MissyB1 · 25/10/2022 18:18

Ive tried all the suggestions here and nothing has worked, the problem is on my I phone. My PC is fine. I cleared all my history, closed a reoened Safair, shut the phone completely down and back on again. Still that weird format aaargh!!

Sorry, I had already deleted today's history and it's all fine on my iPad now so couldn't try browsing incognito

LilyMumsnet · 25/10/2022 18:28

Hi all

It looks like a couple more users are sorted out now.

For those still having issues, please could you make sure that your browsers are up to date? If they are, could you then try clearing your Mumsnet cookies?

GlumyGloomer · 25/10/2022 18:29

I'm on a Samsung, Chrome is showing this. Incognito let's me see the site normally but won't let me log in. Using the Samsung Internet browser to post here. Restarting phone didn't help.

MissyB1 · 25/10/2022 18:32

saved by dh, he fixed it! I hadnt cleared my history properly.

GlumyGloomer · 25/10/2022 18:34

Posters above have cleared their cache, which has solved the issue. Can you give this a go?

If you don't know how to clear your cache, you can find instructions on how to do it here: www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser%27s-Cache

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/10/2022 19:44

Sorry yes I did that 😁😁

wss just saying was an issue with chrome but fine on safari

tulippa · 25/10/2022 22:19

I'm getting this on Samsung internet on my phone. Clearing history and restarting didn't help. Is working now in secret mode but don't really see why I should have to use this to access the site.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 25/10/2022 22:35

On Incognito now and normal format.

Have cleared history and cookies twice, closed and started a few times including having closed the four MN windows I have open all the time.

Still that bollocksy horrible format!

I can't be incognito forever can I?

Maybe I can.

Anyone have a link for a nice trenchcoat?

Celeryfavour · 26/10/2022 11:56

Mine is okay in incognito. How irritating!
