New layout on mumsnet , Mmm not sure I like

And flipped back just as suddenly. Oh well

It fllipped ust from one minute to the other. All threads upside down and a new layout on threads I'm watching.

I've just clicked between pages and my customised settings (all posts on one page, OP and my posts highlighted in different colours) have disappeared. I hope that's just a temporary glitch.

I tried to change back to classic on customise page but it reverts back to new each time

What the heck has happened? All threads flipped? New layout. Why oh why not leave things alone?

Can I change the colour of the shortcut bar please? White on blue is a notoriously bad colour combination for anyone with sight difficulties. And this really pale blue is grim.

Here's what the menu looks like on clicking those dots. It's not great.

In line with most of this new site, the lines are too pale. There needs to be more definition between the sections.

Oh I just spotted the tiny dots that lets one navigate to the top of the page. That's useful but wasn't easy to find.

The social media/sharing buttons have too much prominence.

Still not sure.

Love the emoticon buttons though.

I set it to highlight OPs posts and it doesn't work. Did the first thread but not all of them. Even though it looks like it is still set up.

Ah just seen thisonesforyou's post about highlighting.

I'm sorry if someone's asked this before but how do I get the new site to highlight op posts?! My posts are highlighted but op posts aren't.

I'm really not enjoying the new layout.

On the other hand I like the links at the bottom of the page and the emoticon buttons

On “threads I’m On” – it no longer tells me who was the last to post, I have to click in to it and the scroll ALL THE WAY DOWN. Sometimes, no-one new has posted and so it was pointless clicking into it and scrolling all the way down. What a waste of 30 seconds

Exactly what I was going to post.

Yes and the 'threads I'm on' is now fucked up as per previous posters reports.

On the plus side pages are loading faster.

Are there a group of beta testers that hq uses before making these changes?

Some of the pictures are not loading. There's three wee circles below the box to type in. The first has a smiley face, the second has an I. The third is empty.

Mines gone weird again and I think it's deliberate this time. When I click on threads I'm on, it takes me to the first message not the last, does anyone know how to fix that? Also the threads I'm on page doesn't have a preview any more so I can't see which ones have new messages.

Last night I hadn't a clue what everyone was on about. I use safari through my Mac and iPad to get the desktop version and on my S3 phone I use the app which is basic but workable. So I had to look for the mobile site to see for myself. It's a shame that the Tech department didn't hang around or re jig the day so that there was someone on shift to sort out glitches or answer questions. The launch was delayed admittedly but at the same time it still feels rushed. Far too many glitches/problems for users.

Blackberry bold 9900 (to my shame, worst phone I've ever had but that's another story).
I can hardly read anything because half the screen is taken up with the massive advert at the top and the navigation tool bar at the bottom.
No 'back to top' or 'report' buttons. No 'view all posts' option.
This is really really awful. I primarily use MN on my phone and these changes make it really difficult. Why why why did you do this?

On my Android phone, mobile site, its shit.

The different colours for OP and me have gone.

There is no "back to top" button.

On “threads I’m On” – it no longer tells me who was the last to post, I have to click in to it and the scroll ALL THE WAY DOWN. Sometimes, no-one new has posted and so it was pointless clicking into it and scrolling all the way down. What a waste of 30 seconds

I liked the way I used to be able to preview the last replies to a thread, and click onto the particular poster’s reply, and scroll down from there.

I couldn’t bear it last night. I didn’t want to post about my disliking straight away, I thought I’d give it a chance, change some settings (which are very limited) and see how I go.

But last night I just got annoyed and switched off (good really, as I went to sleep earlier than I would have done). This morning, it annoyed me again.

I only use Mumsnet on the computer at work. I mainly use it on my phone when I am at home and need to relax a while. This layout has really put me off using at all.

Please make it stop!

PS. I have never liked the mumsnet app, tried it again last night, still don't like it. Loved the old mobile site...

What's putting me off is the fact it's really hard to actually read the writing on the background, I got a headache last night from all the white and I have my phone on lowest brightness settings..

I'm also missing seeing a preview of the last few posts of a thread when in TIO and active convos is nearly impossible to read.. :(

This is awful. I thought everyone was overreacting until my mob mn suddenly switched last night. It's hard to read and I can't find things any more.
