I’m really not at all technically minded and am also an older woman. Anyway as the title says I’m having this issue for ages. I know my search engine is safari. I know other people have had this issue but I cannot understand how they fixed it.

I started a new thread as I was advised the old one could be missed as it a few years old
any advice greatly appreciated

Hi there @Nools24.

This is a bit of an ongoing problem, which we are still trying to fix, however, there are a few workarounds to try.

Firstly, could you clear your cache and cookies? There are some good, clear instructions on how to do that here: https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/how-to-clear-cache-on-safari-browser
Could you also try changing your 'posts per page' to 50 or 25? On longer threads, if you have them set to 1000 per page it can affect loading time. You can change that in your settings page: https://www.mumsnet.com/settings/talk
Lastly, could you just check you don't have an ad blocker installed. These stop the site working as it should.

Hopefully one of those at least will do the trick but do let us know if you're still having problems after that.

Hi @Nools24. Thanks for trying that. Hopefully it will work but if not please do drop us another line. It seems unlikely you'd have downloaded an ad blocker without knowing so probably don't worry too much about that. If you're seeing ads on Mumsnet that's a clear sign that you don't have an ad blocker (unless you're a Premium member as they don't see ads).
