Why have the Last 15 minutes/Last hour/Last Day lists changed?

In these three sections, you used to get all the relevant threads, arranged by subsection (AIBU/CLassics/etc) - but now it is a random list, and you don't even get all the threads from that time period - you have to scroll to the bottom and load more.

It looks disorganised and chaotic, and is off-putting to try to read. Please change it back!!

Thanks ShamTech, much appreciated! Smile

QuinionsRainbow · 01/09/2017 21:54

I second that!

@ShamTech Could we have Last Day sorted by Topic again instead of by Time?
(Some people are never satisfied . . )

Ok the Last 15 mins and Last hour pages should now show you the full results without further clicking.

The Last Day page shows you up to 500 results. It's already very slow to load that many results on a page, so we can't show more than that.

Finally, all those 3 pages can now only be viewed if you're logged in. This is a compromise to avoid overwhelming the system by anonymous users visiting those pages.

Let me know if you have any more issues, and thanks again for all your help!

I'm working on this. Scout's honour. Thanks

Nope. Still not good.

Click "Last 15 Minutes" Scroll to the bottom of the page Click 'Show More' Only then does the last 15 minutes completely show.

That's one too many clicks and a scroll for what should be a simple search.

Here you go

Why have the Last 15 minutes/Last hour/Last Day lists changed?
rslsys · 22/08/2017 17:23

I know what it should say, but I'm quite happy with my devices still showing 500 posts !

ShamTech · 22/08/2017 13:57

@rslsys could you possibly send through a screenshot of where it says 500 for you as it should say 50 and if you click 'Show more' it should say 100? Many thanks.

rslsys · 22/08/2017 13:44

If I use an iPad or PC which has not accessed Mumsnet since before the list debacle - I'm still seeing 500 posts in the Last Day list!

I can't answer for other people, re. getting rid of Last Day, @ShamTech - it wouldn't bother me, but I don't know if other people use it.

All I can say is that I would really like to be able to see all the threads from the past hour, in Last Hour - as we used to be able to do. I don't know how you select which threads I see, and which I don't, and can't shake the feeling that I am missing interesting threads or ones where I might be able to make a helpful or supportive contribution.

I will be absolutely honest - this is driving me away from your site. I don't see the point in spending time here, if I am only going to see a few threads.

I can increase the limit for the Last hour accordingly, but not Last Day as that will result in thousands of threads being displayed.

How about we get rid of Last Day as it's not really feasible to have it anymore given the volume of discussion these days on Mumsnet?

slug · 21/08/2017 12:47

Agreed. If I'm looking for all the threads in the last hour, I want to see all of them, not a randomly truncated section. Angry

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius I will look into this and let you know later today. Thanks.

@ShamTech - what if there are more than 100 threads from the past hour? I can't shake the feeling that I am now seeing far fewer threads in that section than I ever used to, even on a slow day.

After Active I also went on to Last Day in case I'd missed something interesting. Now it's restricted to 50 it's basically a repeat of Active, so totally pointless. (I tried loading more but it didn't work).

@Lalalandfill and @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius based on your feedback, we've now raised the limits on these pages. It should now show up to 50 threads, and if you click Show more at the bottom, it will show up to 100 threads. Thanks. (I'm rubbish at choosing the right smiley so just pretend I've put the relevant one here)

Lalalandfill · 18/08/2017 09:56

I've just looked at Last Day and it only shows 20 threads! So definitely something is not right ... ShamTech pleeeease put right Flowers

Lalalandfill · 18/08/2017 09:15

I agree, I've a similar routine to SDTG Smile, only I click on last 15 and since this "upgrade" I'm seeing only a handful of threads even when I click see more. I can't believe MN traffic slowing down so much coincides with this change.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 17/08/2017 18:10

The organisation is better now, but is the system correctly picking up all the threads? When I looked at Last Hour this morning, there were only a few threads - only 20-odd, where I usually see 50+. You don't get anywhere near the normal number of threads in Last Hour, even if you click on 'Show More'.

Please can we have some sort of system that shows us all the threads that have ben posted on in the previous hour, first time, WITHOUT having to click on show more.

The Last 15/hour/day pages should now be ordered by topic name and then by last post time within topic. Hope that helps and thanks again for all the feedback. Let me know if anything else is needed.

blueshoes · 17/08/2017 11:40

Thanks, ShamTech. I await the reinstatement of the previous order for all the reasons already stated.

The current set up is already performed by Active and no need to duplicate that display in Last Hour etc.

Here, here. Have been avoiding mumsnet due to this new look of jumbled up items.
