Are you using the mobile version of Mumsnet? How can we improve it?

Hello. We hope you've all had a chance to use the mobile version of MN at m.mumsnet.com/.

We know there has been the odd technical glitch with it - and we're busy sorting those out.

But we reckon it's working pretty well on the whole - so now we'd like to know what we can do to improve it.

Please post here any thoughts you have about features you'd like to see on the mobile version that aren't there at present.

All ideas welcome - we'd love to build up a good picture of what you'd most like to see. (But no promises, mind!)

(For problems with existing features, please continue to post on the other thread.)

Thanks v much, MNHQ

I can't open surveymonkey in my iPhone so can't join in on product tests or surveys but most importantly can't join the one born every minute panel Sad

I think cut and paste is phone related, I can do it no problem.

Fenouille · 30/12/2010 13:42

I'm using it on a HTC Desire.

'Move the report button ... I click it accidentally at least twice a day!' Me too!

For all those complaining about scrolling the 's back to top' and 'add message' links at the bottom of each message do the job nicely. I can't quite see why you're all having problems.

Highlighting the OP and clickable links to the topics are my only other requests.

See!

TwoIfBySea · 30/12/2010 10:53

Using it on a Blackberry and all my posts are coming up twice.

Although the likelihood of me not using it properly is quite high!

Also any chance we could have cut and paste option? Any time I do tap the page it just resizes it

I also have the same problem as crabb

ThatVikRinA22 · 30/12/2010 00:33

just marking so i can mn from my iphone...

GColdtimer · 29/12/2010 23:37

Please can we have a refresh button?

CrispyTheChristmasCracker · 29/12/2010 23:24

Yes, I love it on iPhone 3, only thing would be to have a refresh button near the bottom

foxinsocks · 29/12/2010 21:55

On my not only

Love back to top and flip and font size fine for me (yes on homescreen it is squeezed into left but I bookmarked the active conversation page)

foxinsocks · 29/12/2010 21:52

I use the mobile version only iPhone and love it :-). In fact I've been looking and posting on mumsnet more since you introduced it!

blinder · 29/12/2010 21:26

I wish the mobile site would recognise that I am browsing on my phone and open automatically. It's a real palaver trying to find threads in the mobile version when the normal website keeps opening first.

juneybean · 29/12/2010 20:53

I'm using HTC windows based and I can log in but if I try to reply to a thread it takes me to the page with all the topics on and no reply has been made :(

sleepwhenidie · 29/12/2010 20:50

The Lego ads are driving me nuts, I keep clicking on them when scrolling. Can you make them half width so they can be avoided more easily?

Also can you put a link on the homepage? I only got to the site through a link in this post.

Ilythia · 29/12/2010 17:55

I'm with puppy, I use the normal version on my mobile as it gets rid of the annoying problems (like the font size refusing to bloody shrink)

PuppyMonkey · 29/12/2010 17:39

No no no to defaulti g to mobile , gahh I would be incandescent if you introduce that.

DecorhatetheChristmasTree · 29/12/2010 17:16

I was using the mobile version (didn't choose to it just seemed to default to it after it went live). Then I closed MN down one day & when I reopened it was back to the normal version (this is on iPhone btw). Until I saw this thread I couldn't work how to get it back.

So agree it should default to mobile version if using mobile device or else put the button somewhere more visible!

PuppyMonkey · 29/12/2010 16:15

I'm sorry I don't like the mobile version at all and just use the proper version on my iPhone. Your mobile version just doesn't seem like proper MN. You might need to do it as a proper App to make it work properly. With proper sections and easily navigable stuff. It needs to be more MN-y before I would switch to it.

LoveBeingADaddysGirl · 29/12/2010 13:55

Love it and actually miss the back to the top button when on standard!

Thanks

Ilythia · 29/12/2010 12:26

Make it work on android....

Make the text easier to reduce, it's massive and makes it a huge pita to scroll down threads

Make topics clickable from active convos

access to my mumsnet

can't see status' (but not sure how you could tbh, it's just mildly irritiating)

Access to pm

crabb · 29/12/2010 10:53

On my iPhone (3G), when the site opens it's jammed up on the left side of the screen and the print is tiny. Of course I can stretch it to enlarge it, but the enlarging doesn't always "stick" when you follow a link then go back. Any help there?

Grockle · 29/12/2010 10:39

Scrolling is really hard - as others have said we need an easy way to scroll to the top/ bittom

CantSleepWontSleep · 29/12/2010 07:37

Why do you people love the mobile site? Seriously? It's shite!

Lotster · 29/12/2010 01:17

Agree with a better way to scroll instantly to bottom of thread please.

Also would like to be able to search text within a thread if poss? Can't cntl+f like on a laptop!

Thanks
