Is it my phone or this site?

Case in point, I just started writing this post and suddenly the page refreshed and my text disappeared. This happens constantly when I’m reading a thread, the page will refresh and take me back to the top, even bookmarking the posts as I scroll down doesn’t help.

I click on threads and topics and they don’t respond, I have to keep clicking and eventually they’ll open. Pages freezing constantly.

I now can’t scroll through or click on pictures in threads, they just freeze and don’t respond for ages and then they get extra large and I can’t make them smaller, by which stage I give up.

Page just jerkily scrolling down on its own. Threads that look like I’ve clicked on them when I haven’t.

It’s becoming infuriating and reminds me of the olden days when all websites were this painful to use! A lot of this has been happening for a while now, before the current Mumsnet changes - is it my knackered old iPhone model or is it this site?

Sitting here with a brand new android phone. It's not you Mumsnet is jerking all over the place today

The app does that all the time. I’ll be typing away and then I realise nothing has appeared on screen so I have to exit the whole thing and start over.

Yes well MN seems more concerned with unnecessary color changes and hiding the report facility than in fixing the very real problems that users are experiencing.
My particular bug is that when I write a post and then post it the post is not cleared from the message box and has to be cleared manually. This has been going on for weeks and Mn is aware of the problem.
A lot of posters seem to be having various problems which seem to have been ignored in favour of bringing iin the recent changes

I don't have those problems, but I do get ads appearing & disappearing repeatedly when they try to load, so that they flash right next to the thread, & a problem with the message box which is that when I hit 'enter'/CR, sometimes - but randomly & sometimes repeatedly in the same post - it throws me out of the message box, scrolls down & leaves me elsewhere on the page, so I have to laboriously scroll back up & find where I'd got to in the message box.

I'd like both of these fixed, please.
