Official Mumsnet mobile thread numéro deux

I keep getting a blue bar with options on it that blocks most of the op.

There are random empty boxes and circles everywhere - I don't know what they are for.

When its all fixed you should be able to go to customise to highlight ops posts. Not sure about choice of colour ?!

You do have the option of 500 or 1000 posts on a thread. I agree, I'd prefer 'show all messages', that may be something we get later on ?

Stick with it, I have hope that all may not be lost !

I thought it was just me, yesterday, switched off and hoped it would be all back to normal in morning.

Completely understand need for adverts.

But, like others,

White background awful for migraine, dyslexia etc. I'm getting severe eyestrain.

Have old HTC. Can't afford to replace. I don't seem to get half the things others are getting, prob because I am technocrap. So I need guidance, please.

I like the short cut bar in theory. But I want to put it where I want to put it. I don't want it suddenly cutting off MrsV in full flow. And it's disobedient. I have put it back in its round box several times and it keeps coming out again. Shamtech, pl can you apply tough love?

Love the emoticons. But the floating advert cuts half of them in half. I assume there aren't any hiding from me.

If I'm going to have to play with a desktop to find stuff, I just won't.

Also, when I go into a thread on active, it takes me to page 1, not the latest. Ditto for threads I'm on. Pl can you sort? And I did prefer to know the number of posts rather than pages. Sham , pl can you sort?.

I'm afraid I hate it. Have been using it for 10 mins and now have a headache and a sore thumb because I have to scroll so much.

Too much white, I'm on an iPhone and have a ridiculously small amount if text.

Why no Show all messages? I always do that so I can scroll through long threads looking for the OP's highlighted texts (which I suspect is also missing).

I know it sounds dramatic but this has upset me a bit. I truly love Mumsnet, but this is so swful, I think I may gradually fade away. Not flounce!

And I agree that needing to remember to bookmark eveytime is a pain as often people are using the mobile site while doing other things and don't get the chance to bookmark before leaving the site.

Nope. Just that they have been testing it for 6+months and we will all love it eventually.

RebeccaMN and ShamTech have been working their socks off trying to sort things out and help.

A poster was a tester and said that there have been many complaints about the old site, but I can't find any.

yes, pipbin that was my first whinge.

I see that next, last etc buttons are back at the top now.

Start telling HQ and Tech what you need to be remedied so that you don't have to squint.

I have no idea if they are working late, or if that's it for the day, and they all buggered off home at 5, but assuming there is more fixing to do tomorrow, tell them what you need and hopefully we will end up with a site for all.

itsallgoing yes but that means I have to actively bookmark it.
I got annoyed with bookmarking on the main site within about a week of it being introduced, because i'd have to bookmark the latest post every single time I left that thread or pressed refresh otherwise it would ping back to my last bookmark.
it was terribly annoying so I stopped using it.
it needs to be done every single time without fail and I just don't have the muscle memory for that.

I have come on my laptop specially to read this thread and I'm confused. Have MN said why they have changed the mobile site in this way?

It functioned fine. Most posters used it in preference to the app which is a pile of steaming shite and should have been updated before anyone dicked with the mobile site!

And I would like to see if my points have been covered by other posters but I can only squint at one post at a time

LOL ! I'm on the feckin laptop, where I have been since about half 9 this morning, on and off.

Love you madly, you know that !

And some people are being rather dramatic announcing that it is awful, unusable and that they are leaving

I have not said I'm leaving but if I find it impossible to use then it will be night time use only on my computer. I do find it awful and practically unusable so why not say so?!

I hate the way it all closes when you scroll

Pipbin

Some posters have epilepsy (including me) and mentioned this morning that the white glare was making us feel funny, and that others had had headaches last night trying to use the site.

For others it was/is the flickering on screen.

Some posters have said they are dyslexic and have said that the colour was too harsh for them to be able to follow text easily, among other things.

Others have said they suffer bad migraines and the site was affecting them.

I am sure there are other posters I may have missed out, for who this morning and for a lot of today, the new site has been awful and unusable.

Please also consider that some mnetters may only post via a mobile or a tablet so may not have an option to use desktop as it is inherently difficult to use from what I understand on some mobile devices.

I don't think people are being dramatic by then saying that if certain issues cannot be remedied then they are leaving.

I feel deeply sorry that we may have lost some loved, invaluable and helpful posters due to the shoddy roll out of this new site.

I feel like I am peering through a letterbox to look at posts.

and it's really hard to get a sense of the thread

I like the rest of it - it's just the actual thread is obscured by the massive ad bar at the top and massive buttons at the bottom.

I'm on an iPhone 5

And ItsAll, again: you used to click on the latest post and go right there. Now you have toremember to set/reset the bookmark on reading, every time. So quick and convenient and intuitive has been replaced by slow and needing more from the user. Which is a bit weird considering is meant to be a 'new and improved' site.

Pipbin, there should have been time to test it better than this. An enormous amount of people are reporting problems with a wide variety of systems. Which is why it might have been sensible to test a site with a million users on, oooh, more than 80 people, half of whom haven't got a clue what already works and thus what improvements would look like.

And it's a bit dramatic to say that people who decide a new version of a website is shit and they won't be using it any more are being dramatic . I don't get much leisure time and I don't want to spend it on things that annoy me. So I will need to find something that doesn't. A shame, but there you go.

or if you're not goingbto give us a preview, then at least open the thread at the latest post from tio instead of first post.

If you bookmark the last post in the thread, then when you go back there, via TIO or otherwise, it will take you to your bookmarked post.
