Why is Active starting to automatically refresh?

[Somanysocks]

This problem was addressed ages ago when Mumsnet went through the update and people complained.

I've noticed that now when I come out of a thread the one I noticed below that I would have looked at has disappeared to somewhere else.

MNHQ why is it refreshing automatically again, it's very annoying?

Hi OP

Can we just check what browser and device you're using to access the site?

Samsung galaxy on google.

Hi @Somanysocks We've found a Samsung Galaxy here and given this a go and we've not been able to replicate that problem.

Can we just check, when you come out of a thread, how are you doing that? If you just hit the 'back' arrow, you should end up exactly where you were, looking at the same list. But if you click 'Active' or similar the list will refresh. So it could be that?

If you are hitting the back arrow, and it's still refreshing the list, could you possibly take a screen video of what's happening and send it in? If we can see that we might be able to work out what's causing this.

Thanks!

Thanks for replying, I press the back button to get back to the list but strangely it doesn't seem to be doing it now. I'll monitor though.

Hi Mumsnet, the autorefresh seems to be happening again. I've no idea how to do a screenvideo.

And frankly, it's immensely irritating.

So, I'll attach 2 screenshots, I clicked on the foil in windpipe thread, backed out of it and screenshot what the screen came back to.

Hi again @Somanysocks - thanks very much for posting these screenshots. We'll look into this for you and will be back with an update as soon as we can.
