Threads scrolling by themselves

PragmaticIsh · 19/09/2025 22:07

Using a browser on my mobile and this evening threads are scrolling upwards by themselves. It's really freaky!

OP posts:
ItsOnlyHobnobs · 19/09/2025 22:11

Yes, me too! On chrome browser via iPhone.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 19/09/2025 22:13

Mine were scrolling downwards last night.
They've stopped doing it today.

Whenthetimeisright · 19/09/2025 22:24

I had this problem last night. Then things were ok most of today . But started again this evening.
I've been trying to work out if it's somehow my fault or the sites fault.
It's awful. It's even worse than the horrid colour changes

NorthernSk · 19/09/2025 22:26

Yes same here. Chrome + android. Making threads unreadable

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 19/09/2025 22:26

Oh FFS it's just started again. Hmm

HannahHamptonsGloves · 19/09/2025 22:27

Oh I thought it was my phone playing up!

dontcomeatme · 19/09/2025 22:27

Same. Chrome on Samsung. I was trying to read a comment and it kept scrolling down and wouldn't let me go back up at all! Highly annoying.

ringsnthings · 19/09/2025 22:34

It's so annoying..

whysorude · 19/09/2025 22:38

Same here. Very annoying.

Lemonsugarpancake · 19/09/2025 22:53

MN is becoming unusable.

everythinghasgoneup · 19/09/2025 22:59

What on earth has been done to this site? I have got the constant scrolling now.
Why can't MNHQ just fix the bits that don't work and stop meddling with the bits that were working perfectly well?
It is just horrible now.

redfairy · 19/09/2025 23:08

Same. thought it was my Samsung.

FGSWhatNow · 19/09/2025 23:15

Following, to see what's going on. I thought I had a phone glitch when it happened earlier...

Mysticaldeer · 19/09/2025 23:17

I've had to turn the brightness down on the phone. Then keep closing the banner ads that pop up.
Now a thread just started scrolling itself. I give up. Time for bed.

Ksibeij · 19/09/2025 23:41

I'm getting the auto scrolling, but not on every thread! It's so annoying and it goes too fast for me, I can't read it while it's scrolling!
@MNHQ please turn this off, it's awful. Or at least make it so that people can choose whether to have it on or not.

SummerFrog25 · 19/09/2025 23:53

Mine has just started doing it again too.

it would be bad enough if if was smooth. But the juddetjnv is awful.

time to turn MN OFF .

TheExcitersblowingupmymind · 19/09/2025 23:55

Another pita issue 🤯

Aessedaioftarvalon · 20/09/2025 06:12

Same for me. Chrome on my Samsung android.

I have found if I go back to the previous thread and then on to the thread I want to read it stops (until I want to read another thread 🙄). Strangely it didn't do it on this thread though.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 20/09/2025 06:23

Had this yesterday too. Again Chrome and Android on a Samsung device.

Doodlingsquares · 20/09/2025 06:30

I reckon its something theyve put in to try and stop people rapidly scrolling past ads. So so so annoying

Middleware · 20/09/2025 08:17

@mnhq. I haven’t been able to use safari for weeks because it just hangs on the ads. I now can’t use chrome because it scrolls. iPhone. I give up.

Also notably not happening on this thread.

Also notably not happening on this thread.

But it is doing the random refresh thing.

BrokenTrampoline · 20/09/2025 09:04

It's heinous. And much slower than my reading speed, so makes using MN really difficult. If I try scrolling down, it just jumps about because it's still also trying to scroll, seemingly.

It pretty much makes using the site impossible. I am not a fan and can't use MN enjoyably like this at all.

Teachingagain · 20/09/2025 09:35

This is happening in some threads for me. Not on this one. It’s slow and jumpy and you can’t go faster. I can’t read the threads it’s on.
