Yep none of my bookmarks are working. Just takes me to the start of the thread, I can see small blue bookmarks but they're not actually working. Android through the app.

My bookmarks are working ok but they have always changed colour and still do both on lattop/Firefox and android phone which is a problem if they aren't meant to Smile

Scoobygang7 · 31/01/2021 08:07

Any idea on timescale for the fix as it's still the same?

Hi @Seeline thanks for these reports and sorry it's been a pain. We're ironing out bugs right now, so thanks for being patient. Flowers

The thing that annoys me with the Android app more than anything else is the inability to be able to attach photos. I know the links/buttons are there to do it. I can even attach the photos to the post. But when the post appears, the photos have disappeared.

And yes mummabubs, it is as buggy as heck!!

mummabubs · 29/01/2021 09:16

Just tried to use the new quote function from the android app for the first time and that hasn't worked either (!) 🤦🏻‍♀️

mummabubs · 28/01/2021 16:39

Really hope this is fixed. I'm on android too and it was buggy as heck before. Then after the update this morning I was excited as for the first time in 2 years it looked like I could create a new thread (this has never worked on the android app for as long as I've used it)... Then I noticed bookmarking doesn't work anymore and trying to start a new thread has gone back to not working too 🤦🏻‍♀️ I don't understand how the android app can consistently be so poor in comparison to the apple version (which I was using before getting a different phone)

Thanks @Seeline. We're investigating now. Flowers

@soniamumsnet

Hi *@Seeline* thanks for flagging this. Can we just check which version of the android app you're using please? Is it the latest one? Flowers
I assume it's the latest - it seems to have changed overnight! I now appear to have the ability to quote posts which I didn't before. And some of the posts have weird blue lines down the side (I assume that they are quotes?) .

Perhaps I'll finally be able to post photos on the app and vote in the AIBU polls - that would be useful

Hey, sorry about this! I think I likely broke it. We were doing some work on other bits of the app, and may have broken the bookmark feature. I'm looking into it now, so will hopefully have it fixed soon.

Thanks for mentioning it, I'll let you know when I have something ready to go.

@Biscuits101

I'm on the app (android) I get a message saying see older posts at the top of the page but I have to scroll down to find the bookmark mark.
Tis is happening to me today on the Android App. IT updated overnight and now won't take me to the bookmarks that I've put in place today, only the ones that were in place before the update.

The bookmarks are working 'virtually' because I have checked on the desktop site and the new bookmarks from this morning work.

THis makes the Android App unworkable for me and it was pretty poor before this.

Biscuits101 · 28/01/2021 09:26

My hide and unwatch function isn't working properly either, I've logged out, deleted and reinstalled the app?

Hi @Scoobygang7 please send it to: [email protected] and we'll be happy to take a look. Flowers

I can email you a recording but what email can I send it too. I've just recorded the issue but cannot share it here.

Hi @MoleSmokes and @Scoobygang7 thanks for your updates. Are you able to provide a screenshot and/or a recording please? Flowers

MoleSmokes · 27/01/2021 15:48

I have rechecked and on threads where I have bookmarked a post, returning either takes me to the start of the thread or the top of the page containing the bookmarked post.

In case it is relevant: on both desktop (Mac, Safari) and mobile (iPhone, iCab masquerading as Mobile Safari) I have preferences set to display 100 posts per page.

Scoobygang7 · 27/01/2021 14:53

Android user here. Click on my watches and the bookmarks there but it takes me to start of the thread. So in effect bookmark is useless. This is only happening since yesterday's update. Secondly writing this I using chrome on phone its extremely lagging

MoleSmokes · 25/01/2021 15:05

Mmmm . . . it does when I access the mobile site on an iPhone using iCab browser (set to be recognised as Mobile Safari).

(I have never used the App so it's not that.)

I haven't accessed Mumsnet on a computer for a while so maybe I am getting muddled up.

But I don't ever remember having a problem before in identifying which post is bookmarked.

I have been scanning up and down the screen to spot the "greyed over" bookmarked post when I go back to a thread.

Am I dreaming that it ever did this on the Mac Desktop version?? Blush

@MoleSmokes I don't believe the post is supposed to change colour. Is that how this feature has behaved for you in the past?

MoleSmokes · 25/01/2021 09:40

I can bookmark and when I revisit the page it jumps to the Bookmarked post but the post does not change colour.

Safari on Mac.

DappledThings · 21/01/2021 20:37

@Butterymuffin

No, but could you alter it so that you can simply click again to UN bookmark something? Almost all of mine result from me accidentally brushing the bookmark icon and there not being an easy way to undo it.
I had the same issue. Turns out you can turn off bookmarking altogether which I have done.

I don't know why there can't be an unbookmark option but in the absence of it turning it off was the best option.

JanineMumsnet · 21/01/2021 12:58

Great news. Let me know if it breaks again or if anyone else also has issues.
