Twitter down: Thousands report major issues with social networking site

Thousands of users are reporting outages and issues with social networking site Twitter.

Many on social media said they were having problems, with one saying: "Twitter just went down crashing..."

Multiple users screenshot error messages saying "something went wrong, try reloading".

The issues appear to be affecting the website rather than the app, according to user reports.

Downdetector confirms 86% of the reports are for the website.

"Tweet replies won't load #TwitterDown," one said.

Another added: "Twitter down on desktop websites."

The technical issues come under a week after another Twitter outage.

Downdetector received more than 12,000 reports of issues accessing the social media platform in the UK alone on February 11.

Almost half of those were to do with problems encountered on the mobile app.

Some people were logged out of the site and unable to return while others had issues with their timeline.

Less than an hour later the platform's support team announced it had fixed a "technical bug".
