Some threads 'auto scrolling'- advert?

29 replies

Anyone else finding that their screen is automatically scrolling down? It's like I've turned auto scroll on but I haven't, and I can't scroll back up either. Not sure if it's an advert causing this? Happening on all boards (that I've been on anyway, food/recipes, aibu, chat etc).

Yes! I thought I'd just magically done something. It was briefly fun then annoying.

ISeeTrees · 07/11/2023 13:28

Glad it's not just me! Yes very annoying, it's going ever so slightly too fast to be useful.
While I'm at it, my food/recipes page has gone like this, and when I click a thread it opens in a new window which is really irritating too!:

Did it to me earlier. I assumed it was a glitch in my phone. Clearly it wasn't!

InTheStars · 07/11/2023 13:39

Happened to me too earlier today.

ComeOnThenFanny · 07/11/2023 13:45

Yes, and it's really pissing me off!

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 07/11/2023 18:16

Yep, me too. Very irritating!

LilyMumsnet · 07/11/2023 20:57

Hi all,

Please can we have your devices/browsers so we can take a look? And a link to a thread where it's happening?

LittleRebelGirl · 07/11/2023 23:12

Samsung s23. Dunno about browser 🤷‍♀️

FridayForever · 08/11/2023 06:26

Just happened to me - I had to leave that post, too annoying. Samsung phone using Google Chrome I think. Will take a note of any threads it happens on again.

KateyCuckoo · 08/11/2023 06:58

What 'app' do you use for the Internet on your phone?

sparklefresh · 08/11/2023 07:00

It's been happening to me for ages. Really fucking annoying.

Using the app on an iPhone.

Almondmum · 08/11/2023 07:02

Happening to me on this thread, but others too hence me looking for this thread. Google pixel chrome

Polecat07 · 08/11/2023 08:41

Samsung using chrome. I thought there was something wrong with my phone! Glad it's not just me

peachgreen · 08/11/2023 08:43

Chrome on iPhone and it’s happening to me too, on the thread OP mentioned.

HebeMumsnet · 08/11/2023 09:44

Morning, everyone. Thanks for all the details we've had on this so far. That's really useful.

We'd love to get more details - so URLs of the pages it's happening on and screenshots of the point you get scrolled down to would also be helpful. What would be brilliant is if someone could manage to catch this happening on a screen video so we can see exactly what's triggering it. We know that's a bit of a long shot but if it happens, and you can get it to repeat itself and capture that on a video that would be enormously helpful.

We'll keep looking at it in the meantime. Flowers

ISeeTrees · 08/11/2023 12:03

A screen video is a bit beyond me I'm afraid but it's just happened on this thread:

And it happened just before the mr vegas advert, here
