Same here. I get this on two different machines with Chrome as the primary browser and it only happens on MSE, no other forum or site. I

Recently found when trying to read MSE forum there are blank sections and pages very slow to load if at all.  Tried on 3 computers all with Windows 10 / AVG  and android.  Works fine with Edge, minor display problems with Internet Explorer.

Anyone else having same problem

Happens to me as well, hitting refresh cures it

But only once. If you then click in to a new thread the same thing happens again..Refresh also sometimes makes it jump a page, ie if you go into a  multi page thread and see the errror, hitting refresh moves you to page 2 of the thread.

That's normal behaviour for this site, it will note that you've visited the page (and assumed you've read it) so will take you automatically to the next page.

Wow, incredibly poor design if that's the case. The main reason for refreshing any web page is if it fails to load correctly, in which case you want to remain on the same page.

Like others I've found it is problematic using Chrome but trouble free using Edge.

Have this in Chrome. Use F12 to show the problem then F12 to go back. This often clears the problem but this is not a cure. Hope it helps.

Finding similar with MSE, using Chrome.  Other websites fine, no problems.
I think it's been reported on Feedback section.

It has. And as I've said elsewhere - I do not get this issue, probably because I'm using filters in uBlock Origin to modify how the forum looks.  

And these are they:

forums.moneysavingexpert.com##.mse-masthead
forums.moneysavingexpert.com##.SecondaryPanel
forums.moneysavingexpert.com##.MainContent.Content:style(width: 99% !important)
forums.moneysavingexpert.com##.Container:style(max-width: 100%  !important)
forums.moneysavingexpert.com##.MainFooter.Footer
forums.moneysavingexpert.com##.DismissMessage.InfoMessage

Does anyone else want to try them and see if it fixes the problem?

That's the easiest way to sort it and you can also minimize and maximize the window too so no need to refresh like other people are doing.

Or, of course, it could work properly!
