It looks very nice.

But could we have Threads I'm on on the talk sub menu as well as active convos?

thumbbunny · 20/04/2011 11:57

I know that this is a really minor niggle in comparion with the drop down thingy but your roll-overs are REALLY REALLY sensitive - so I'm just moving the cursor and as soon as I go near that new dark topic bar, the roll-over is activated and STAYS activated - why?

Rusty - why though? when they were on the name bar, they didn't hurt anyone, I barely noticed them, unlike NOW.

RustyBear · 20/04/2011 11:55

And I like the purple and blue menu bar thing - especially because it actually works on the ipad

VivaLeBeaver · 20/04/2011 11:55

Drop down thing is v.v. annoying.

RustyBear · 20/04/2011 11:52

I prefer having the drop down thing to having the fb & twitter things on the bar at the top of every post though!

clitorisorclitoraint · 20/04/2011 11:51

Can we have the option to search 'talk' at the top right back please!? I don't really want to have to navigate 2/3/4 pages! Thankyou Smile

BehindLockNumberNine · 20/04/2011 11:48

It won't grow on me either.

It is one more irritant. Alongside the twitter feed that streams alongside the side of the page, flashing adverts causing my laptop to crash and other oddities which have been and gone over the years.

Yes I know I sound like a grumpy old woman, but still....

Paschaelina · 20/04/2011 11:48

I just tried using the search from the toolbar and all it does is take me to another search page. Whats the point of having a space to type in a search term when it doesn't fecking search? Eh???

usualsuspect · 20/04/2011 11:48

yes ,the log out should light up when you have been on MN for too long

JaneS · 20/04/2011 11:48

Argh! Kill the drop down thing please, it's making my eyes go funny!

(Seriously, whose bright idea was it to put something on the site that flashes when you scroll - not very disability-friendly, is it?!)

thumbbunny · 20/04/2011 11:47

Good grief, it's already annoying the fuck out of me - I may have to take a 2 day break from MN Shock until it's fixed.

savoycabbage · 20/04/2011 11:46

And it says 'log out' in a prominent fashion as if you should be getting on with your work instead of being on MN.

BertieBotts · 20/04/2011 11:46

A day or two? :(

It won't grow on me, I can promise you. I have stopped using sites which have introduced them because they mess with the way I browse too much.

savoycabbage · 20/04/2011 11:45

It comes back after you post!!!!!!!!!

thumbbunny · 20/04/2011 11:45

And how hard is it to click "home" to get to the top of the page for the search facility anyway?

BehindLockNumberNine · 20/04/2011 11:45

The search bar itself is not too bad - but I don't understand why the facebook/twitter/email/print buttons have to hang down from it like some sort of pendant.

savoycabbage · 20/04/2011 11:45

You have to click it off every time though. I usually click active conversations in my favourties as otherwise you have to scroll right to the top of the thread to get to it.

thumbbunny · 20/04/2011 11:45

NO NO NO Justine - it is not useful. I never log off and I don't link to any of those other sites from here either - an option to turn it off PERMANENTLY would be lovely thank you. As soon as you can, please.

BertieBotts · 20/04/2011 11:44

But the bar goes across my entire screen Confused

Is this when MNHQ try to tell me that I'm the only person still using 1024x768 again?

washnomore · 20/04/2011 11:44

I'm on my phone and can't see any drop down box but when I scroll down a big blue mumsnet appears in the middle of the page for a few seconds. Much annoyingness.

BehindLockNumberNine · 20/04/2011 11:44

Oh for fucks sake - I turned the drop down thingy off, scrolled to top of the page and it re-appeared. I can't be doing with this every time I want to read something.
It is akin to a great big beetle landing on my magazine every time I turn the page!

GRRRR

thumbbunny · 20/04/2011 11:44

I am on Classic as well and still have the fecking drop down that REAPPEARS every time you change the screen - ARGH!

JustineMumsnet · 20/04/2011 11:44

Hello,
Sorry meant to say it was coming before we pressed the button but was in the loo Blush.
We will make the drop down search bar when you scroll down an option that you can turn off over the next day or so.
(do give it a little while though - you never know it could grow on you and you might find it useful!)

RubberDuck · 20/04/2011 11:43

Ghost - it'll come back. The X doesn't close it permanently.

BertieBotts · 20/04/2011 11:43

I don't have a cross either.
