Official Mumsnet mobile thread numéro deux

Ah it does indeed enlarge it.

I am useless with technology and this is causing problems for me

Ok, I guess I'm the only person who cares about the social media buttons. I really, really want to hide them but maybe no one else is that bothered.

I haven't really encountered glitches, so perhaps that's why I'm free to obsess about the social media issue - I have an HTC...erm, something? The site seems to work fine on it anyway. I don't like the stark design but I can see I'd get used to it. If we could hide those fecking FB/Twitter buttons so I could feel less afraid of inadvertently sharing a thread, then I wouldn't mind it really.

(Sorry for the less than ringing endorsement, but a lacklustre shrug is better than furious rage I guess?)

Thank you for making the desktop version available on mobiles. I'm squinting but happy to be off the new mobile version.

I really feel for Tech. What a fucking nightmare to have 1000's of posts of complaints and glitches in the roll-out.

I used to frequent another parenting forum and they brought out a glitch filled new version. I went wandering on the tinternet and found MN.
Have been here for 4 years and don't want to stray again. I never went back to the other place and they didn't even have tickers.

So while I am sympathetic to your plight, HQ & Tech, please stop the pain.

I agree re the colour of the shortcut bar. I like it, its very handy but colour is bleurgh.

My 'icons' are empty circles and square boxes, I have no idea what's what.

I also have no ... I can click on a post and the options appear, but unless you click on an option the box won't go. Clicking 'back' to try and get rid of it just takes you back a page.

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, using Google Search. My phone doesn't support Chrome and I don't want to download loads of browsers, or update my phone ( as suggested on another thread).

It also gives me motion sickness, like watching a film on a hand held camera.

My ellipses now fixed. Think that last page just didn't load right.

Just been reading the Guardian site and thought I would try this again as it's clearly modelled on that. Straight away I had to move the screen away - still too glary. But the has much less pointless while space so I guess that's part of the problem - reduce the font and the spacing.

Also changes which are not improvements that I would like addressed are

• I don't want to tap twice to get to Active Convos. I want a link to that (I've got rid of the blue box)
• Ditto about tapping twice to reply - I want a quick link to that
• I don't want it to be called Add Post, I want it to be called Reply - two words are not better than one. Plus, it's called Reply in some places -inconsistency looks unprofessional.
• and it's still so bloody slow and unresponsive!

I like the shortcut bar. But I need it to not be baby blue. It's so pale the white text is difficult to read. This is an issue with my phone, not others as mine looks different.

Also my ellipses are currently not working at all.

Hi Rowan ...
I still don't have a 'customise ' button.
Or the infamous ellipsis at the bottom corner of each post.
Am feeling very left out! (Samsung galaxy ace by the way!)

Will try that. 2 mins

I don't see why the tool bar or ad needs to do that, it means I can't zoom in to look at any photos posted.

Click on the photo and a big version pops out.

Holy moly, bookmarking is now smooth!

It doesn't just get to big it flaming well closes up like elevator doors!

What message was that then ?

Btw I'm on a Galaxy Note 3 in Android and I havent had any of the floating ad problem that others have mentioned, nor the too much white space.

I like the shortcut emotions

Think back to yesterday afternoon when the new site launched. A lot has been fixed since then so I have every confidence that the other issues will be sorted too. Speaking
Has the battery-eating been sorted? I tend to use the app when I'm not at home but if the battery is not going to be depleted in minutes when I'm out & about I'll start to use the mobile site.
Speaking of issues, I'm still having trouble with pics that people have posted. If I click on them they appear in a little box of their own with the background greyed out. But they're no bigger than they were in the post. If I click on them
To enlarge they nestle themselves firmly in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, still not much bigger than before. I then can't access the X to close the box because it's fallen off the edge if the screen.
Is this being addressed?

Just tried it but it then gets too big to read posts !

Its getting there, I have faith in HQ and Tech, contrary to what some may think !

Ohh just checked back and the pages are at the top again, this was my main bug bear, thanks

I did see it, thanks Rowan - think we x posted.

I need to stop for a while now, this is actually making me feel a bit motion sick.

The other thing I liked was the menu btw. The styling is horrendous from a reading pov - I'll live with the ads, the tio will be ok when fixed, the look is actually just like Tesco as pp said but I'm sure I'd get used to it... but I loathe the constant scrolling. You need to fit more text in - white space is fab on a full site but counter productive on a forum.
