Official Mumsnet mobile thread numéro deux

Does anyone know whether you can see if you've got a PM from the talk screens, or do you have to go Home to see it? Tech if not this would be a useful feature when you have a spare minute

Oh Em Gee my bookmark function is working on the mobile site

I don't have the 3 dots

Thanks Mardy.

wantacatplease no idea, on the desktop site this thread has 12 pages, could it be number of pages?

Please please don't change the desktop version or I'll cry cos I can't mumsnet on my iPad.

I can't see bookmarking when you click the three dots.
I don't like that there's only two posts and then you have to scroll down
It's a bit rubbish really and I definitely won't be mumsnetting when out and about.

The numbers thing? Please someone? Put me out of my misery and explain! Like this thread, I'm all caught up on the thread now, thanks, but there's still a circle with a 12 next to it! Why? Why?!

There doesn't seem to be much traffic on the boards generally this evening. Just wondered if the mobile site is affecting usage overall...

This may have been said already but to be able to bookmark you need to have bookmarking enabled on the desktop site. To to that you need to go to customise - top left, then scroll down to where it says 'show bookmark' and select 'yes'.

Good post emotion

Have I missed mention of how to hide a thread?

ItsAll, a new, improved version should be exactly that - improved, and when there are 1000's of posts saying that it is anything but an improvement for you, MNHQ and MNTech to dismiss them all as fuddy-duddies who don't lke change is unbelievably patronising.

Change is fine when it makes things better, quicker and easier, this change has made things worse, slower and difficult - that is the issue.

Again, no problem with adverts as I am well aware that MN need advertising revenue, BUT IT DOESN'T NEED TO FLICKER AND FOLLOW THE USER DOWN THE THREAD. The end result of the annoying adverts will be for users to load adblocker and not see any adverts which totally defeats the purpose of MN having adverts.

The new site looks awful, is awful and seems very ill thought out.

Sorry the thread's moved on from nickel's live birth.

Ok so I still find it hard to read, but I am more concerned about the major loss of functionality and usability. I do overall quite like the new look though.

With the old site it was obvious how to access all the functions, now I have to guess where you have hidden them! How do I watch/hide threads for example..

Also having worked in IT for many years, I completely agree with pp who said you don't just roll out a beta to your entire userbase.

I am using Firefox on Samsung galaxy s4. also quite often trying to bookmark a post, Firefox gives a script stopped responding message.

We've had MN births, marriages. If they give us the old site back, maybe I'll be here until my dying days - huddled over the keyboard, wearing purple and a red hat that doesn't go and doesn't suit me.

yes! Germy - except mine isn't blank, it's a blue rectangle.

my blue bar is much darker than yours.

I think we should be able to "hide" the social media icons too

I am a visual person MrsV - i find it easier to explain what I mean and want if I can show it. :)

Here. For some reason there's no picture associated with some of the buttons on the toolbar. Also the third circle under the post message box has no icon, just a circle.
The social media buttons are too prominent in comparison to everything else. Finally, the shortcut bar is too pale, unless you plan to change its text to black? White on blue is not good, especially white on very pale blue.

Sorry if I've repeated some things. Pleased you've sorted navigation within threads and made some of the lines thicker and that you are working on TIO.

I'm off to eat.

Hopefully see you all later.

do you ever wonder whether newbies come on and say "nickel's live birth thread? it sounds legendary! where can I find it?"

nickel

Are you implying that Tech are really that silly ?!

I think/hope thats one of the things they are working on.

But showing them a pic ? Oh my. LOL.

LittleBearPad Thank you! I did not know that the iPhone clock did that! That has solved one issue for me.

I'd also like it if we could customize the blue bar.

Bookmark seems to have stopped working for me now. It puts the little flag on the correct post but then when I refresh/click back onto the thread it takes me to a completely different post further up.

Mardy

I'll join you, just as soon as the site is sorted

nickels live birth thread on the new site ? Don't. We'd all still be trying to guess if she was actually in established labour !

i'll put my print of the desktop site on here too, to show what the bars between each poster should be to break up the mobile white glaryness.
