Can get into site on my Android phone, but the site is completely frozen. No access to any forums. Nothing works.
But everything ok on my Kindle tablet, can access all forums and comment.
Help!

It's been happening to me over the last few days. Thought it was my phone as I checked on Google if the site was down, it said it wasn't. Can't always get on and when I do it freezes.

Am finding it really irritating. Just worded what I thought was a good reply on another thread and the screen froze so I didn’t get to post it. I can only use my iPhone because my laptop is not working great.

I also have Error 400 appearing when viewing posts on my laptop. I think that is really just me, so need to clear the cache according to Google.

Me, too.

I cleared my cache - it didn't help. So I opened GN in a private window.

How do you open it in a private window??

Happened to me on I Pad, I had to go into settings and clear Google history. Then restart, all works now, obvs!

Thought it was just me, relief that others have the problem.
Have cleared my cache, rebooted my phone, even removed and reinstalled the widget and it didn't help. Still freezes if I go in via screen widget.
Can get in now if I type site name into Google and all seems ok.

I can’t get it on my computer either; get the Error 400 too. I eventually managed to get back on via Google chrome on my iPad but no idea how I did it. Got locked out of another forum, too.

I’ve deleted all my history on my I pad and I can now access Gransnet- hurrah!

I'm also having problems on my android since yesterday. Not so much as freezing but scrolling down to see further posts i have a blank screen. The phone is also being exceptionally slow on all apps.

Yes, sometimes the screen freezes but also when I try to scroll down comments the screen goes blank.
Seems ok for now 🤞

Do any techies know why this has been happening or can GN shed any light on this??

BlueSapphire Sat 25-Jul-26 01:22:44

Yes, I keep getting a blank screen, and it has just frozen again, but I managed to get back in.

It’s Chinese spies. Must be. 🤔With us it’s usually our awful network providers.

BlueSapphire Sat 25-Jul-26 09:37:57

Still occasionally freezing and scrolling down to a blank screen; it's very hit and miss, must be a problem with the site, we can't all have dodgy phones!

Just got rid of the Error 400 problem by clearing my history. I was nervous about doing it (being a technonumpty) but all is well now on my laptop.
