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!!

Thank you ShamTech, I'm having exactly the same problem and it's hugely off putting - fair enough not to show all on the same page but they really do need to be categorised again or it's cacophony

Thanks for the feedback and apologies for the less than pleasant outcome of the changes. We've had to limit the number of results we show on those pages for performance reasons, with the site growing and the sheer volume of posts every day.

However, @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius you're absolutely right in that the results on those pages would be a lot more useful if grouped by topic like they used to be, and the topics then sorted alphabetically again as they used to be. I will work on getting that changed for you.

Thanks for your patience while we sort that out.

I would normally spend time every morning, reading through the Last Hour thread list, and clicking on the threads that seem interesting - it was pretty much the first thing I'd do on the computer each day. But today I looked at the first few items on the list, tried to load more items, and basically gave up, because the current arrangement is so chaotic and off-putting.

MN used to be an important part of my day - but if this carries on, I can see me not bothering to try to find the interesting threads, or the threads where I can make a helpful contribution - because it is so difficult to find them from amongst the mish-mash mixture of threads. I just won't bother coming here, if the experience does not improve.

MNHQ - this change is NOT an improvement - it makes the site significantly less pleasant and easy to use, and it will lose you members. Please change it back ASAP.

Yes - it is a total mess.

Agree - and if I click to load more, they all disappear and it says 'no threads found'.
