Format change

Hi, my format has changed where before it was an old style where I could just see the last few threads but now when I click on what I'm on, it's showing me everything.

When I came on mumsnet today, it forced me to login again and then the format has changed. How can I go back to the original? I'm on an android phone.

I'm on the iOS app and I'm still able to read all of the couple of deleted threads I had in Watching. Which is fun Grin

Another one with serious pulling on the eyes and a headache - I've only read this thread!!

Oh and I always post on the desktop site using Control&enter - that function seems to have vanished!

emuloc · 20/04/2022 10:01

As other posters have said, if its not broke, don't fix it!!

Really dislike this new format. It is full of adverts in the middle. It is really putting me off. Can the adverts be hidden?

BernardBlackMissesLangCleg · 20/04/2022 09:58

Argh

I have the thread started by username and date thread started columns showing when I browse the talk boards but now they're gone.

it's so handy for spotting zombie threads ~and ones started in bad faith on FWR~

help!

Flipping awful and keeps crashing with Error 500

DressingPafe · 20/04/2022 09:53

I agree with too much whiteness. I thought there was some kind of error when it came up like this today. It just doesn't flow like it used to.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 20/04/2022 09:53

I don't like it though.

Very chunky.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 20/04/2022 09:53

I had to register again, turns out I've lost the email I'd registered originally.

DinosaursEatMan · 20/04/2022 09:51

Awful layout and it’s giving me a headache.

WellThatsMeScrewed · 20/04/2022 09:48

Also the font is not easy to read?!?!?

WellThatsMeScrewed · 20/04/2022 09:47

MNHQ - why the annoying gap between posts!!! It’s just dead space

Madhairday · 20/04/2022 09:46

I'm sorry MN, I don't like it either. It's hurting my head. My eyesight is bad even with glasses and this is really not working for me - the font is less clear, squished up then lots of white space to scroll through - I think the contrasts of that don't help. I liked the clear layout before. Not good.

Orgasmagorical · 20/04/2022 09:43

In my I'm Watching list I've got random threads from last year that I certainly wasn't watching now, whether I was then I can't remember. Why have they been added?

notacooldad · 20/04/2022 07:03

It is absolutely awful!

Isnt it just.
I had to relog in too.

When I dont like a new look, I tend to walk away.
Life is too short to be on a site where everything looks awful

BestIsWest · 20/04/2022 09:42

I don’t understand why different topics have different views.

Active Threads, Style and Beauty, Threads I’m on are all different and it’s very confusing.

You can change that. Click on the down arrow next to Talk, then customise.

Thank you! Changed easily.

Floralnomad · 20/04/2022 09:39

I can’t say I’m a fan , I’ve not read the entire thread but can someone tell me why this was done

Lougle · 20/04/2022 09:38

Also, your 'Talk guidelines' and 'Getting started' links are broken - they take you to another copy of the thread you're on.

Orgasmagorical · 20/04/2022 09:38

I haven't RTFT so apologies if I've missed it but have MNHQ said anything about this change anywhere?

Lougle · 20/04/2022 09:36

This pop-up appears when I try to bookmark. Also, some posts only have a bookmark symbol and others have the word bookmark, too.

The new site doesn’t work for text to speech technology very well, so now it essentially isn’t accessible for those with a visual impairment, MN ableism at its best.

The font is also not very clear at all.

IpanemaFleur · 20/04/2022 09:34

I’m usually adaptable to change, and have seen a few updates in the 15 years I’ve used mn, but this is truly awful. I’ve got a headache

Unforgettablefire · 20/04/2022 09:29

This new layout is awful!

Sooverthemill · 20/04/2022 09:27

I loathe it. So this may stop me using MN. Who is responsible for this stuff?
