Threads I'm, on has gone weird

40 replies

I'm on mumsnet classic and I like things old skool thanks very much.

Now threads I'm on has gone all weird - it's showing thousands of them back for days and days (normally I have it set to 72 hours only).

And it keeps resetting itself to display latest activity first - whereas I like having it my latest post first. Unfortunately every time I change it back to my latest post, it resets.

Whatever you're doing tech, STOP IT.

Hi folks, sorry not sure what happened there. Threads I'm on should be better now - it should check back the the number of days you told it to in your preferences.

I tried resaving my settings and it made no deifference.

tethersend · 26/02/2011 17:09

Just wanted to let you know we've made a note of the problem and alerted Tech to it.

tethersend · 26/02/2011 16:05

Oooh, thanks, will try that and reading the thread properly

Tethersend - have you tried resaving your settings on "customise"?

I did, and it seems to have fixed the problem of reverting to most recently active. At least, it's fixed it since I last turned on the computer.

What it hasn't fixed (though I tried resaving this too) is the number of threads, but I don't care about that so much.

The problem on mine (and everyone else's by the looks of it) is that it won't stay on the setting I want, and keeps reverting to most recently active.

It's driving me fucking mental.

As Hassled says, It's all about me. Or her. Or something.

ok, I've found threads I'm on and reset it to show latest post by me - and that seems to have fixed it in terms of the order. It's now staying on latest post by me.

But I've still got the last month's worth of threads showing, instead of the last 3 days, and resetting that doesn't seem to have helped.

Do you think tech is drunk?

Hassled · 26/02/2011 12:10

This is doing my head in. I don't want to know what's going on with the thread I last posted on a few days ago, I want to know what's happened ten minutes ago. It's not about the threads, it's all about me. Me, I tell you.

Why won't it stop?

Ponders · 25/02/2011 23:05

customise is just at the top of this page (or any other page I think) along with topics, getting started etc

am just off to check it out & see if it works for me Grin

but customise seems to have disappeared too - hasn't it?

When my threads I'm on went weird I tried to find customise to see if it had got reset somehow, but it seems to have gone (unless i'm looking for it in the wrong place - it's supposed to be in "my mumsnet" isn't it?)

tethersend · 25/02/2011 22:54

Oh god, make it stop...

PaisleyLeaf · 25/02/2011 22:53

I like it.
I've discovered whole conversations and updates have been going on in threads I was interested in but had forgotten about as they'd dropped off my radar.

I've got a thingie at the top I can change it with though.

TheSleepFairy · 25/02/2011 22:50

ponders if you go into customise you will find the option to bookmark.
When your engrossed in a very interesting thread & some annoying rl person needs your attention you can hover just above the refresh link on the post you are reading & bookmark it.

When you go back to the thread it automatically takes you to the bookmarked post - fanfuckingtastic.

Oh dear. Now we're stuck.

Luckily tech seems to be like Dr Who and regenerate in a new body every now and again, so we'll just have to hope he reappears tomorrow.

OP posts:
Ponders · 25/02/2011 22:24

threads I'm on is still broken.

bugger.

maybe blowing tech up was a bad idea after all

Ponders · 25/02/2011 22:23
