@BehindLockNumerNine: This was literally only just changed, so your browser may not have updated properly. Closing and re-opening it can sometimes help, otherwise you'll have to wait until your machine catches up I'm afraid.

Also, a small point of clarification: All the navigation links on the top (blue bar) can be clicked to reach their relevant pages, so clicking Talk will take you to the topics page, etc.. There's currently no pages for Bump to Teens or Life & Style, but there will be soon, promise. Grin

I hate that bar at the top- it's just inside my field of vision and is Pissing Me Off.

thumbbunny · 20/04/2011 12:14

Hurrah! It seems to have worked for me at least...
Mind you, mine was never flashing - where was the flashing bit?

nickelbaalamb · 20/04/2011 12:13

God yeah, the rollovers are far too sensitive - I was just moving my cursor! not looking for something.

oh, and guess what?
just F5d and the bloody bar is BACK!!!

most annoyed.
this is the most annoying change you have made.
(this is possibly because I'm being ultra-sensitive at the moment, though)
why would you torutre a pregnant woman? why?????

  1. Hate the drop-down thing. Please take it out, nail it to a frisbee and fling it over a rainbow (© Bernard Black)

  2. The search box at the top of the page doesn't work. You put a search term in, click Search, and it takes you to... a search page.

thumbbunny · 20/04/2011 12:13

OK, just closed browser to see if fix worked.

BehindLockNumberNine · 20/04/2011 12:09

And it reappears when I scroll down too. And stays there, it does not flash up for a second but appears and stays. (outstays its welcome that's for sure!)

BehindLockNumberNine · 20/04/2011 12:08

DamianTech

I just closed it like you said, scrolled up the page and it reappeared. Not working for me Sad

gillybean2 · 20/04/2011 12:08

DamianTech lives in mumsnet towers and is 22 (according to his profile!? I think he needs to get out more! Grin
and stop fiddling with things that didn't need fixing but now do Angry

RustyBear · 20/04/2011 12:06

Worked it out now - it appears when I scroll back up to the top of the page, but not every time and only for the blink of an eye, certainly not long enough to actually do anything with it - doesn't seem much pint to it really...

Definitely like the new colours, though.

BehindLockNumberNine · 20/04/2011 12:06

I second gillybean.

I am still on classic, don't want fangled new stuff, drop down thingies, flashing thingies or any other thingy.
(apologies for the word thingy, have a headache and have lost some words)

I don't fb, twitter etc and don't see why that should be linked to MN. I appreciate some people do fb and twitter, so give them the option to opt in on drop down linkies/tools/buttons/thingies.
But don't enforce them on everyone. Please.

SacharissaCripslock · 20/04/2011 12:06

Rusty, I'm on iPad too and have seen none of the new changes (except for the colour change) at all yet.

Hi everyone,

We've implemeneted a short-term fix for the slide-down bar, clicking close on it will now keep the bar hidden until your next session (i.e. next visit to Mumsnet, or when you re-open your browser). You may need to restart your browser for this to work.

RustyBear · 20/04/2011 12:03

i currently have mN open on both ipad & mac - on the ipad the drop down thing appears pretty randomly - I haven't worked out what makes it appear yet, it's not when I scroll down....

gillybean2 · 20/04/2011 12:03

I;m on classic too and it's still changed. Just stop messing with things.
I picked classic because I didn't want teh changes last time. WHy do I want them this time. I don't facebook or twitter so i'm not interested is that rubbish. And flashing stuff is just annoying.

Give me back my boring plain classic!!

winnybella · 20/04/2011 12:02

Get rid of the drop down thing, please. Very, very annoying.

thumbbunny · 20/04/2011 12:02

oh ok, Rustybear - not a problem I've encountered. Grin
But there is a lovely line up of them at the top of the page... do iphones have a 'Home' facility?

SacharissaCripslock · 20/04/2011 12:01

Floaty bar? I have no floaty bar! I am confuddled!

washnomore · 20/04/2011 12:01

May I also add:

I HATE change but the look is quit nice Blush

RustyBear · 20/04/2011 12:01

thumbbunny - because they were too easy to hit when you're on the iphone....

BehindLockNumberNine · 20/04/2011 12:00

Just tested the rollovers - I agree, too sensitive. And they stay activated.

washnomore · 20/04/2011 12:00

I just tried out the search box in the floaty bar thing (on PC this time) and it doesn't even work - unless there's nowt about "breasts" on MN of course Hmm

nickelbaalamb · 20/04/2011 11:59

I hoep you do make it an option to disable that bloody drop down bar, it's already driving me nuts!

I'm even considering going away from MN and doing something else
do you realise how serious this is?
Shock

LawrieMarlow · 20/04/2011 11:59

Am using phone at the moment so will do full analysis later Grin.

SacharissaCripslock · 20/04/2011 11:58

Why do I have no drop down thingy? I don't want one but need to know why I've been left out. Grin
