Hi all,

As you know we have launched the new mobile site, we know it's a big change and we are still very keen to get it right with your help. This is very much a version that will evolve with your help as part of the testing process.

There have been a few glitches that have/are being ironed out and the HUGE thread has nearly maxed out, so we thought it best to start a shiny new one.

We know change is tricky but, as with most things MN, we are all ears and happy to look at any feedback you have on ways we can improve the new site.

Thanks all Thanks

I also can't bookmark - the option just isn't in my drop-down menu.
Also, the pictures are unviewable on my 8 inch Samsung Galaxy tablet. They do now pop out if I touch them, however they only go to about 1x1.5 inch, which is still too small. If I zoom in, the pictures disappear off the bottom of the screen.

On the loo, yep, I know that one,MultipleMama ! Blush

BF not so much. But my DCs are 15 and 10 years old !

MultipleMama · 21/08/2014 15:30

Your welcome :)

Instruction #1: Grieve for the old site. Sad
Instruction #2: Log out and run. Run away and never return!!

Wow... my kids have been watching Lion King on rerun far too long, because I'm quoting it!

I don't have a 'bookmark' option when I click the three dots (just reply, top, report, PM, profile) and I am definitely logged in. Using android default browser on a Samsung S3 if that makes a difference.

I love it! so much better than the old mobile site ( which I hardly ever used ) the new site is a lot easier to use & seems a lot more 'up to date' & modern.

Romeyroo · 21/08/2014 15:28

Yes, it still is too glary, it makes me feel ill.

MrsVamos · 21/08/2014 15:28

Can we have a 'show all messages on this thread' option, please, Sham ?

Just an update to say we've found the problem some of you are experiencing with slow loading of a page of 500 or 1000 messages on certain devices. We are working on the fix and will let you know later. Thanks

MultipleMama · 21/08/2014 15:25

Same here, MrsVamos. With 6 little ones, I have no time to sit and spend time on the laptop. Most all my posts are posted by mobile due to it being easy and quicker. I could type when bf or even on the loo!

MrsVamos · 21/08/2014 15:21

Thanks, MultipleMama. Thanks

*OK people.

Who is writing the user guide ?* Grin

Such a shame, isn't it ?

I reduced the time I was on mn as I hate being stuck on the laptop, got a newish mobile (first new one in 10 years) and now I'm back doing that ! Good job I had no plans for today !

I loved being able to have a quick read of threads on old site, or post quickly while out and about, or just when I fancied it.

Now, I feel stuck, like I have to plan time to MN.

Don't get me wrong, I love this place, and most of my fellow mnetters, but I just don't usually have the time to devote being here on the laptop.

Mobile mnetting was my dream solution.

Ah well.

MultipleMama · 21/08/2014 15:19

Kab - me too! Even with the hide option they've gave us; it doesn't work. Urgh.

Kablooger · 21/08/2014 15:17

i hate having to read threads i hid

MultipleMama · 21/08/2014 15:17

MrsVamos - You have to be on the actual thread I think. Just looked and when on the arrow option thingy it says something like add to ai'm watching so I'm assuming you'd be able to unwatch. Unless they cocked that up too...

MrsVamos · 21/08/2014 15:14

Lots of people are struggling to bookmark, it may be due to changes Tech are making.

See in the bottom right hand corner of post, 3 dots ?

If you click on those you should get the bookmark option to come up, along with report, pm etc... ?

If not can only advise trying later.

On desktop, if you hover near bottom right hand corner of post, 'bookmark' should come up in a little blue oval kinda shape ? Then just click or press it to bookmark page to that post.

BigArea · 21/08/2014 15:14

Ooh flip thread is on the little roundy arrow now I've braved the mobile site again - well done tech Thanks

Planetwaves · 21/08/2014 15:11

MrsVamos yes I think it will be the kick I needed to reduce my posting on the site. May go back to just looking at desktop occasionally as a lurker as I used to do years ago before my smartphone. A real shame though :(

I'm logged in and posting fine - even used the mobile site to NC this morning (unrelated to mobile site change I might add - recognised a RL someone on a thread!) but no bookmark option for me!

DEATH TO THE STUPID ARROW AND FLOATING ADVERT. LIVE LONG THE OLD SITE!!!!

MrsVamos · 21/08/2014 15:11

MultipleMama

Hang on, just to be clear.

Is that once you have selected TIO, or do you have to be on the actual thread you are watching to be able to unwatch ?

Does that make sense ?

BigArea · 21/08/2014 15:09

Me too Lweji mosp got my msg this morning TWENTY TIMES!!! I am now using the desktop site.

On the new mobile site I can't see how to flip threads - anyone know? Also how to bookmark, which I've never managed to get working for me on either mob or desktop sites. Can anyone advise? Thanks

MrsVamos · 21/08/2014 15:09

MultipleMama

Ahhh, the same stupid arrow thingy for customise ?

Thanks !

MrsVamos · 21/08/2014 15:06

I'm also not happy about the amount of charge its taken from my phone.

Don't think a mass exodus will happen. People will just revert to old style of posting, like me, just not post or lurk anywhere near as often as using old mobile site allowed.

I think site usage will go down but I think maybe it's measured by FB 'likes' and 'retweets' these days ? So maybe not show as a loss ? Sad

MultipleMama · 21/08/2014 15:06

MrsVam - I answered your question regarding the unwatch but I didn't read your post properly and and didn't see your username only ElBand that you wrote in bold baby brain

avocadoaddict · 21/08/2014 15:06

Yes re the battery usage. I'm down to 20% (had 100% this morning). A full charge used to last me two days. And I'm on wifi too.
