Official Mumsnet mobile thread numéro deux

For MNHQ and Tech(s)

All platforms

It is hard to visually separate thread title from rest of the thread.
Would be good to have the opening post at the top of every page again.

I'm on an s5

I'm eating my battery using the site now. Gone from 99% to 92% and only been on for around five minutes. Mobile site isn't going to be usable for me in terms of battery life.

My customise options needs to be re customised daily, they keep resetting.

I'm also getting the problem with all of the elipses opening.

The numbers at the end of the thread title in TIO can't be number of pages as one I'm on only has two pages but the number five is showing at the end of it.

There's not a big enough divider between each post so they all kind of run together and I'm finding it hard paying attention to the individual usernames, it's like reading one long post. It gives me a headache.

I barely get any time on the laptop these days (three DC under the age of five) and I almost exclusively use MN on my mobile while BFing the baby. It's not something I'm going to be able to do anymore and I know it's melodramatic but I really do feel like I'm going to have to leave MN over it.

Please, please, please can it be put to a vote? This is more than people not liking change, it's a situation where a large number of users are being shut off from using MN because of their battery life (and charging the phone costs money!) or because it makes them feel ill or because it triggers medical conditions. Restore your reputation by putting your money where your mouth is and standing by the wants/needs of your members, members who have stood by the site for many years and make it what it is.

I also agree with the people says it doesn't feel warm and chatty anymore. It's sterile, cold, clinical. It looks like the mobile version of the Tesco website now and who wants to chat to a supermarket!?

I feel bad complaining because I'm betting you've all put a lot of time, effort and money into this but the complaints go far beyond a few grumbles and a few people being resistant to change. I'm sorry people don't like it, I used to work in R&D and system changes for 3000 staff were under our remit. We used to get so pissed off when they whinged about new features or the removal of old features. Extra fag breaks were had. Cake was eaten. Vodka was consumed. The words "ungrateful, miserable bastards" were muttered many, many times. But when it was something that genuinely wasn't workable we had to accept that the end users needed a system that was workable, suitable, and fit for purpose.

TIO list: numbers in the grey circle don't match total posts or posts since bookmark or posts since last visited.

Please can you give us an answer as to whether or not we will get back the option to hide the social media buttons?

People complaining about the bookmark option not working - where is it? I can't see one at all. (Never realised there was one ).

Once you have clicked in posting box and brought up keyboard, the blue bar stops floating at the bottom of the screen, and instead sits statically at bottom of page and the advert bar does the same but at the top of the page.

Oh and the bars closing down to zoom is still happening and having to double tap to post is a pain

I too get all the ellipses opening at once, and typing this post has cost me 5% battery, which isn't making this a workable mobile site and more power hungry than the desktop site, which I'm sure shouldn't be happening.

Icons for attachment (circle below posting box) active and I'm on (bottom blue bar) missing. Screenshot attached

I blame myself. I tried the app, found the way they'd set up TIO (lack of preview, returning to top of thread, stupid numbers) made it unuseable for me, and instead of kicking up a fuss and moaning loudly I quietly moved to the mobile site, which did work the way I like it. Hence MNHQ didn't realise that the app way of doing TIO is ridiculously unfriendly, and decided to roll it out to the mobile site.

But be reassured MNHQ, I have learned my lesson. The next time you do something I don't like, I will not quietly find my own workaround, I will definitely complain loudly and repeatedly.

Oops. Nexus 4 wishful thinking

When you click on "bookmark" it opens every ellipsis menu on the page simultaneously.

Line breaks are problematic in titles. iPhone 4s and safari.

Anyone else get a page full of this when they try to bookmark anything?

Argh I think my post disappeared!

If people are having problems with their phones it's probably helpful if you put the type of phone and operating system in your post.

It's definitely better on an iPhone 5s (iOS7) since the beginning. Although bookmarking isn't working as well as it was. It makes all the ellipse menus open, then take ages to bookmark and then freezes so if you could fix that Tech it would be appreciated and the speed too please.

Other than that it's growing on me.

I've gone back to using the desk top version on my phone but even that's a bit weird now. All the posts have different font sizes!
