Format change

The bookmark function still not working . It's getting really infuriating

Out of interest, I did a search for a thread I’d been semi-keeping up with a few days ago, but forgot to bookmark. I can’t remember who posted it or what topic it was in, but in the Old Times I’d have done an advanced search and with the search terms I can well remember (it was only Wednesday when I last saw it!), I’m confident I’d have found it.

With the caveat that it could have been deleted, there’s no trace of it anywhere in the new search….really frustrating, as I wanted to know what happened!

And it appears my photos post twice!

I'm using the website version on Google Chrome. I got back from holiday yesterday and these are some of the problems I've found so far:

1. The scroll bar at the right hand side of the screen keeps disappearing.


2. No advanced search function.


3. If you click on a notification, instead of taking you to the point in the thread where you last read to, it takes you to the beginning of the thread.


4. When clicking on posts in general, instead of taking you to the first post, it takes you to the thread title and then there's lots of blank space before you get to the posts.


5. I was permanently logged in to MN, however I became logged out and had to do a password reset. For some reason this logged me into this username which I did for a namechange one off, however my old username was just a Username which I had been meaning to change anyway so no big deal but it could be important for other people to lose all their posting histories.

I don't mind most of the changes, but the amount of scrolling is mad (see screenshots). Sometimes only one post on a whole page.

There is a lot more scrolling now, and I always end up in the wrong part of a thread and the text is so annoyingly small and why there is a half of the page left empty but the thread is squished on the right?

Is a lot more user unfriendly than it used to be.

Did you let Stonewall do the revamp MN? Good way of driving people away from seeing/posting that problematic GC content. 🤔😁

I can't easily scroll back to read, or find where I last bookmarked (ahem) so apologies if this is repeating other people:
Quite apart from the bloody tedious "must have punctuation to put a return in" (although not true if you are typing between emojis, I find 🤷🏼‍♀️), I'm now finding if I type a certain amount I suddenly get a big black screen that says "oops! You don't have access to MN" and I can't do anything from there other than back out and lose the post, or post it as it. What the hell is going on?

Still hate it. I've read a lot less MN as a result and when I have I've got bored quickly and couldn't be bothered to read whole threads. 🥺

It would look a lot better if the toolbar floated. It would get rid of the huge bare area on the right of the screen when you scroll down.

This is a weird one. I always, as a matter of routine, bookmark the place where I’ve got up to, so the thread will reopen at the right place when I come back to it and I can just carry on from that place.

That isn’t happening any more. It’s reopening at a random point, sometimes at one of my own posts from way up the thread, even when I’ve posted more recently. It’s as though it’s got stuck somehow. It doesn’t make any sense 😫

Another issue: The loading screen of a thread is really offputting. I've loaded a thread and I actually can't see any content without scrolling down. The entire page is filled with ads. It makes me just want to shut the site down.

Also, the tool bar doesn't float anymore, so you have to scroll right to the top or bottom of the thread to be able to load 'active, I'm on, I'm watching, I started, or Last hour'.

Hi, after previously saying I like the new format I'm now becoming very frustrated with the fact that it's impossible to find where I got up to on a thread when I come back to it.

Two new issues:

When I tried to log in just now (laptop), I got a 405 error, saying 'method not allowed'. When I clicked the back button, I was logged in.

@HaveringWavering has given a screenshot but the text is completely blurred in the preview of her post. I had open the picture to read it.

The emojis are still badly rendered, too.

It definitely does not return more relevant results.

Thanks Havering, I hadn’t. Hmmm. I’ve found the new search function and I’m not convinced it will work as efficiently as the previous one.

@Halsall have you seen this re Advanced Search?

Ignore that - dc had mucked around with phone settings

Hate the white text on black background - I find it really difficult to read

I use Advanced Search a heck of a lot. I’m gutted it’s disappeared.

Please remove the OPs first post from the top of every new page of the thread. Having to scroll past it is a pain. I know what I’m reading, I don’t need to be reminded.

You can turn that off in Settings.

I do miss having the new number of replies since last viewed

having total number of replies means unless I was the last to reply I need to click on to see if more replies as I don’t know if I’ve read the last reply

miss advanced search. Mainly for childcare and telly addicts

still miss desktop view

My watch threads are building up as it keeps including threads i’ve commented on also, what’s the point of that?
