Thought of something else, don't know if I'm missing something. I really like how when you initially press on threads I'm on or active then it flicks back to what you were looking at before, really handy for flicking between threads. And then if you hit the button again it takes you back to where you were in the list. Also good. But then to actually refresh the list of threads you have to scroll all the way back up and pull down. I'd kind of expect that if I clicked on "active" I'd actually get active, not what was active 3 hours ago.

First post from the app
I like the new layout

Logging in isn't working properly, if you type in your password incorrectly it says you've been successful but I wasn't logged on

can we have a way of increasing the text size pretty please? It's the reason I didn't use the old one. The text is just too small to spend any length of time using the app.

Still can't find the local boards!

Simurgh- try using the orientation lock via Control Centre to stop your iPad rotating the photo- it's pretty quick to flick control centre up and touch the lock icon.

Im having log in problems on the main site. When I log in it accepts as normal but then when I want to look at pm box it logs me out and I have to log in all over again.

Do you know how long we will have to wait for the android version as I can only access MN when home on the laptop at the moment.

I hardly like to mention Reduce White Point etc - I'm sure you'll have tried those additional options. I'd try them myself for people but I'm afraid that my eyesight just isn't that good and I couldn't rely on my own perception of the results. Another day perhaps when my eyes are less tired.

It certainly looks as if it might be a Techy button if many people are wanting a quick Night Mode switch. I wouldn't fancy doing the spec because there are so many different pairs of eyes and so many circumstances but you never know - Tech may have a spare couple of days some time.

Simurgh Yes, I've tried just about every combination of dimming, Inverted colours, and various app colour schemes. Still dazzled by some sections of the app!

I think if I was using it in dim light, I'd be fine. But using the app in a properly pitch-dark room (as I was again this evening), the brightness contrast between different sections of the app is just too much.

I think that is just me being incompetent, I don't have many pictures on my iPad and those few I've loaded have all come out that way round and I've yet to figure out a way to rotate them. I sure if it were properly rotated before I posted it then it would have been the right way round.

Colours wise I'd like the option of having the theads I'm on and active etc as being white background like when you open a thread, I'm not keen on the big block of colour. But that's a fairly minor gripe. I can see how a muted night time version would be good although thankfully my night feeding days are over.

Actually, there's one small thing I've just noticed about the pictures. (Came from the one you posted, IAmAPalaentologist.) My ipad is completely determined to present that picture in the way that it was originally posted so that if I turn the screen round, it flips the picture back to the horizontal - but only flips it at that point. There's no way on a ipad that I can quickly see the picture right way up.

(Sorry if that doesn't make sense. Maybe I'm using it wrongly.)

The pictures are a real success aren't they?

The colours are something I'd prefer a little different, I think. Two of the colours are very similar indeed and it would be good to have one much paler one or one of a slightly different hue. (Caveat - I don't know if this would cause technical or perception problems with the other and contrasting colours in the body of the App.)

The pictures are great though. So much better than on the main site.and the text and emotions are ace and so simple to use.

I would like to be able to see the last couple of posts of a thread in threads I'm on so I can easily see if it has had more posts since I last checked it without having to open the thread and either scroll to the bottom or flip! In fact having a setting which remembers which way you one your threads would be nice too. Otherwise though it is pretty slick if a little big on colour on the thread list screens.

(I just did it myself as a test.)

Have you tried inverting colours and dimming brightness? I know it's a bit of a palaver but pending any introduction of a Night Mode, it could well sort your troubles.

Oh and it's very frustrating not to be able to share threads by text or email, so having a copy link option in the share menu would be amazing.

I would love love love it if the app came with a night mode for not dazzling the baby during middle of the night feeds! X

RedYellaGreen thanks a lot for the info. Might not have a fix for you today, but I'm looking into it.

Thanks for looking into it so quickly!

Helllooooo!

Might be being a bit thick here but how do I watch a thread?

No it failed. It didn't even allow me to type it out, just the repeated login cycle.

Those of you experiencing log in problems, apologies, however you've helped find an important bug. Not great for you guys, admittedly, but good news for us as we can look into fixing it.

If you're experiencing this problem, please could you leave the app installed (please don't delete it) and we'll look into fixing the problem and releasing an update.

RedYellaGreen - when you were posting and it asked you to log in, did it post successfully after you'd entered your password? Or did it fail to post as well as forget that you were logged in?

Thanks all you testers for your help and feedback, very valuable to us indeed.

Hurrah! I've worked out the flipping now too thank you to whoever posted that.

Just testing to see if the app is working for me...
