Official Mumsnet mobile thread part 3

The date box on the search facility isn't there. That would be helpful.
And the toolbar covers the space where you're supposed to put the date, annoying
I'm on iPhone 5

Hi, I've only just used the new mobile site for the first time.

The positives - I like the clean look of it. It looks professional and modern.
I like that there's an always there button for Active and I'm on.

The negatives (some already covered but I thought I'd post)
Threads I'm On is REALLY temperamental. 90% of the time I tap on thread titles and they don't do anything. Sometimes it highlights something, but the highlighting is not in line with any text, so I can't tell what I have clicked on.

I don't like the quote marks in TIO. It looks gimmicky and odd.

The font seems larger. I know this is probably because newer phones have higher resolution screens but I have a mid-low range phone which is only a year old and it's now uncomfortably large because I only get about 12-13 words on a line which makes threads hard to read. I used to get probably 15-18 words per line. I know that sounds like a small difference but it's about readability and interrupting the flow. Sorry I can't do a screenshot, I could take a digital camera photo of my phone??

Bookmarks don't seem to work, it took me to the very end of the thread rather than the place I'd marked. And I didn't see any highlighting for OP's posts but maybe I missed that.

I actually didn't get past Threads I'm on and clicking on one thread, the whole site was so slow to load and I couldn't get other links to work.

I'm using a HTC Desire C on Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), using the in-built HTC browser, which acts like a Chrome clone right down to the error messages. This is using wi-fi and I had a strong signal, so shouldn't have been slow to load.

Accessibility issues/glaring - high priority - will be looked at early next week

I thought last week, you meant it would be looked at this week; now it seems to be next week.

This is odd, but after the migraine-triggering episode with the new mobile site last week, I am feeling sick even using the desktop version. It has been like some kind of MN-aversion therapy for me. Clearly a message that I need to get on with the rest of my life.

All seems to be working fine on my phone. Xperia Z2 using Chrome.
I just dislike it. It's stark and square and clunky. The old site was neat and user friendly with nice curved buttons and warm colours. Everything was convenient and above all, simple! I like simple.

The app has always had so many complaints, I just don't understand why MN has messed with the method of accessing the site that was the most comfortable to use and left the one that was pants! I'm going to try and use the desktop site on my phone because I'm doing far too much housework since this rolled out. I ironed socks yesterday!

Another to add to the Windows phone compatibility list (Nokia Lumia 8.1, IE latest version) :

When starting a thread, I don't get the bottom of the letters in the title box. (I did mention this on beta testing but doesn't seem to have been sorted)

I keep having threads load when I am clicking on active or tio

MNHQ - I am still having problems posting most of the time. I get the circle of death for ages and nothing posts. Please help!

When you go into your account, there seems to be no way back to the Talk boards. I was in my account and wanted to go to TIO. I clicked on the little arrow where it normally is, and the options were something like Children, Newsletter, basically account type options for your profile. The only way I could see to get back to the boards was to click on the Mumsnet logo, which takes you to the main page (which looks like a completely different site compared to the boards now) and then click Talk.

Please please please restore the ability to post under a different name when posting on the mobile site. Clicking into profile, filling in password etc is too much faff on a mobile device (and either way I was getting error messages trying to do that). For those who use different nicknames for different purposes / to protect anonymity it's such a useful feature.

I can hide the blue buttons, but I have to re- hide them every 24 hours or so. Obviously not a massive priority, but why can't they just stay hidden?

TeenyfTroon - So glad I'm not the only one who finds the quotations annoying. There's no practical reason for them. We already know it's apply.

I can tolerate the new mobile design to an extent but they should have left some of the "layout" the same i.e the TIO and font.

How do you want us to report scrolling i.e. moving ads at the top of the screen? On this thread?

On TIO, the quotation marks are annoying and they take up space. Especially as there's a space between the " and the start of the quotation. It all adds to the spread out feel which I really dislike. I'd much rather have more text per screen and therefore less flaming scrolling!

What BearFeet said. Bump and reset etc options were very useful.

Iona, thanks for the tip on how to switch off the blue bar. It does seem easier to read a thread without it. Although the whiteness does seem more obvious now without the blue bar, especially on long threads like this one.

Regarding ads, most of them seem to change which is disconcerting, but just saw one from O2 pay & go that was constantly changing which was horrible!

When you click on Watching I can't find a bump and reset button. I'm presuming that's something that's being looked at and also that it will put the correct amount of posts that have been posted since you last checked it. And lastly that it will take you to the first of the new posts on that thread rather than putting you at the start?

Okay, I thought I had my pages back but I guess I don't. Some threads show pages but some, like this thread, had all the posts on one page. So still having problems with. feel like a parrot repeating

How do you find the 'Unanswered Threads' now?

Also I can only see half the smiley/ italic/ attachment/ preview/ post buttons when I'm writing text for a message. I don't actually use the buttons because they are too small to access easily. Which is a shame as they seem like a great idea. :)

Finally have pages back. Thank you!

But TIO slow loading and titles take forever to show up. Have to triple tap or more on a post to open a thread... just frustrating.
