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.

How do I turn off the notifications?! I never had them on before but now they're constant but when I go to the settings it says error. Make it stop!!

I have nothing in watched threads or "I'm on" - in fact nothing loads at all. It tells me I have no internet connection? So I can't even read the bloody threads I'm being notified about.

Also WTF is going on with all the zombie thread resurrections in active?

I usually use the app which is where all these problems are happening but I can’t reply on there without an error so I’ve had to come onto the web page to do it. I’m off to Reddit this is unusable.

This is like going back 20 years ago - who thought this was an improvement!!!

JaneJeffer · 20/04/2022 19:17

Aah I only use my phone nowadays.

Jellykat · 20/04/2022 18:55

JaneJeffer i had 'last 15 minutes' on my PC up until now!

Jellykat · 20/04/2022 18:52

.. and another thing, the topics are now jumbled, it was alphabetical before, now i have to fish around, its hard bloody work!

JaneJeffer · 20/04/2022 18:52

Disappeared years ago that was meant to say AngryHmmConfused

JaneJeffer · 20/04/2022 18:51

And why does it wrap my text around the post I'm quoting??

JaneJeffer · 20/04/2022 18:50

@Jellykat

I am looking at this on a massive Fuck You 27" screen iMac, and the thread text is in a pissy little thin strip down the middle with acres of empty real estate to either side. Real estate designed for ads no doubt, but my browser won't allow them, so ner.

And it is so bright that it will probably fuck my melatonin and upset my sleep. It HURTS MY EYES.

Frankly it looks as if it was designed by bad-breath Keith from the IT department who has worn the same unwashed patterned orange sleeveless jumper for the last five years.

Bad breath Keith Grin

Why the change? It's awful!!

TheSilveryTinsellyPussycat · 20/04/2022 18:15

Threads with only the OP apparently have 0 posts in them (looking on Active)

Longer threads, N posts long, are shown as N-1 long Confused

I missed the memo about the update. For me it's a bit soon to process what I do/don't like about it. but I'm disconcerted to find the Trending threads are the same as they were two days ago (not yesterday). Coincidence?

same here whats the point of it now

Today, I had to log in 3 times. Every time I leave MN left logged in and went to do something, it's logged out when I came back. This never happened before. Very annoying.

I have just noticed there is now a "Keep me logged in" box on the login screen. Try ticking that.

The actual bit of Mumsnet that I use, the bit with the posts on, now takes up about a third of my screen width. I understand that Mumsnet want to promote itself as mobile friendly but it's now fucking stupid on a PC.

TheSilveryTinsellyPussycat · 20/04/2022 17:25

No Last Day, only Last Hour.
No links to Active, AIBU, Chat etc at the bottom of the thread.
Huge spaces between paragraphs.

These are not improvements.

Curfewgull1 · 20/04/2022 17:18

It’s constantly asking me to accept cookies even once I’ve done this. Am also getting an intermittent ‘access denied’ message. V annoying.

pointythings · 20/04/2022 17:15

Getting error 400 bad request cookie too large on laptop every time I click anything. Works on phone but I hate that. Not impressed.

BestIsWest · 20/04/2022 16:00

Can we have


  • name of last poster on a thread

  • date of last post

visible on all topics pleas (like it used to be)
These make it easier to spot spam posts among other things, for example in the Yoga topic the same person spammed all the threads.

  • option to jump to last page back again.n I know you list all the pages but it’s fiddly.

Yes I miss First Last and username

Snozzlemaid · 20/04/2022 16:36

All my favourite topics have gone too.
Did they test this upgrade at all?

AdaColeman · 20/04/2022 16:33

@Potentialscroogeincognito
The flip thread button is now hidden in a drop down menu....
Go to the left hand side top of the page where it says TALK (plus what board you are on) and on the right hand side of the page is a pale button, very easy to miss....
Click on that to reveal a drop down menu with several options including FLIP.

Hope that helps as I'm on a desk top!
