Mumsnet Talk

well done YetMoreTech!

I will rub your shoulders next time we meet

(not really - I will be hiding under BigTech's desk eating biscuits)

Can't remember if I said thanks, but thanks.

(not an ingrate by nature)

"Threads I'm On and Threads I'm Watching should behave in the way they always did" - do you mean in the Classic mode or in the new mode? As the new mode has some bugs and lost functionality.

yes, you have done very well.........I even gave you a gold star, but you have missed the moon, or missed commenting on my comments about the moon........is it that the yesterday moon was broken, or is it that we are indeed in another reality???

FWIW, I don;t have the list of 'hides' and white space unless I try to change my options.....going back to my normal options makes me happy

BUT

I miss the purpleness that showed me which threads I have clicked on..........whats with that??? All the threads stay the same colour now.

ANYHOOO

well done, you done good

yes indeed a thanks - now I've refresh it's much better and not all squished

However I still can't cope with the colours of links I've clicked and links I haven't they just look the same and it's confusing me

Thanks Tech - I quite like the new look!

Sorry Tech if I have come across as a bit moany I did say I loved it and know it is damn hard work - nice job

(Just wanted to point out the Thread I’m On possible glitch with the names next to the last post as it must be a nightmare finding and picking up on every tiny bug in the system - not nit picking, honest!)

Well done, I can see how much work must have gone into these changes. I'm sure we'll all get used to the new style soon enough!

One thing which I'd like (once you've dealt with the bugs of course) would be if we had an option to set the default "Show All"/"Hide All" in Talk Topics, as I prefer the "Show All" option, but it doesn't stay that way when I leave the page. That would make navigation easier from my POV.

Ta much

I can get used to it.. i think.

but you might want to tell people about the "show all" link in the top right of the talk area.. expanding it all out made it a lot more comfortable for me.

Another vote for the read/unread link colour change please.. i cant see what i've read and what i haven't!

This site is a study in social anthropology - first the fear, then the sabre-rattling, and now, finally, the acceptance.

I think that's the reason for the changes - Tech has a final paper to submit before he starts working with Kate Fox.

Threads I'm On issues in the new look:

1) Latest name says it's me even when others add to the thread.
2) Clicking on the thread title takes you right back to the beginning of the thread and there is no way of getting back to the point where you were reading - especially annoying on a very long thread
3) Clicking on the Latest name takes you to Mumsnet Talk front page instead of anywhere useful - am assuming this is a bug rather than a feature!!!

I have a new pc and can't find the refresh icon. Anyone want to enlighten me where it might be?

4) Link colour change insignificant when you've read a topic

YMT - I love it. But looking at the time of your posts, you must have had about three hours sleep last night! That's real commitment to the cause!

Thank you yetmoretech - have done the shift+refresh and it seems to have helped!

I like the shortcuts at the bottom of the page rather than having to go to the topic list

Dumbledore press f5 or shift-f5

DG - press F5 to refresh

Oooo... idea for the I'm On section - could we have a "Show All" button for there too which expanded out the individual posts for all the new replies so you could directly go to where you left off - that would help A LOT.

"we'll improve the classic options (though I am using them now and they're working fine)"

is this a telling statement?!

Thank you for your hard work YMT. It has taken me two cups of coffee, a Twix and one of DS's Milkybars but I am warming to it. I've even got pages running for the first time ever.

[Offers YMT a rummage in the Milkybar multi-pack]

Well, I actually like it! It is a bit more funky.

My only question is why, why I hit 'active convo's' I get a long list of the word 'hide' before the active threads.

I like it too - well done tech team!

Reply numbers on Active Conversations seem screwy.

I started a thread re the threads I'm watching not working for me...still not working after hitting refresh

Tech (and tech team) you've worked hard, thankyou.

(but you killed it!! You know what I'm taking about! How could you!)

Oh and I'm sure we were told we were geting atleast 1 new emoticon!

<<wonders if Tech is still around or if he's now snoring face down on his keyboard>>
