A few more for the snagging list

MN team, I can see you are hard at work fixing glitches as a lot of the problems from yesterday seem to be improving (I no longer have the black box over my PMs, or the empty lines at the top of each page, for instance). Thank you for your hard work!

A few that still appear for me, for your reference:

  • On all platforms, Trending and Active are still not working properly, full of zombie threads and not updating
  • On Chrome on my laptop, I have tried to post this thread multiple times and got a “checking your browser, captcha” box pop up on the screen and then a 403 error box over the whole screen and have lost this post multiple times…
  • On Chrome on my laptop, some long links are not wrapping in posts and extend out to the right beyond the edge of the post (see for instance post by @ButtonMoonLoon on this thread: www.mumsnet.com/talk/site_stuff/4534587-was-anyone-on-here-a-tester-for-this-awful-new-site
  • On Chrome on my laptop, when you flip a thread, it leaves the OP at the top (this doesn't happen on the iOS app, where the most recent post is at the top)
  • On the iOS app, when you filter by OP and then click the link to go to one of their posts it always takes you to their first post, even if you're selecting one from later down the thread
  • On the iOS app, old threads have a lot of html showing around where emojis used to be, and line breaks are showing as <br>
  • On the iOS app, the apple emojis are the right size but the MN emojis are squashed, they’re the right width but about 2/3 the hight they should be
  • On the iOS app, posts that have a quote in them are all run together between the quote and the first paragraph of the post. I think a line break is missing between the quoted part and where the post starts. See for instance the comments by @crackingreward on this thread: www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4534652-aibu-to-think-that-the-spice-girls-were-absolute-rubbish
Hope that helps! I'll add to this snagging list as I come across stuff. And also let you know if they're fixed!

hi @Antarcticant - thanks for spotting. We've checked it out and this was one of our devs testing. Sorry for confusion!

IcedGemsandPartyRings · 25/04/2022 14:05

Just can't post in the App (IPhone). Just says oops try again.

Em8725 · 25/04/2022 13:53

Whenever I click on a new page/thread/go back, I have to agree and close the “we need your consent” every single time. Every page of a thread. It’s very off putting.

Thelnebriati · 25/04/2022 12:49

I wasn't sure if this needs a separate thread.
I get that MN needs to promote its brand, but the word 'pregnant' is not always used in a positive context, and placing this offer at the top of every thread with 'pregnant' in the OP is not innappropriate.

If you check your own 'threads I'm watching' it no longer tells you how many posts have been made since you last looked, just the total number of posts, so there is no way of knowing how many pages back to go to catch up.
Then when you have caught up, you can not hit the 'watch' button again to take you back to where you were. I suppose I could unwatch and then watch again, but it takes longer.
Losing the 'take me to page..' box is annoying as is losing the take me to first/last option.

The new posts in ‘Threads I’m watching’ used to be linked and you could click straight to them. Now they’re not clickable links, and the title takes you to page 1.

Not sure if this is on the list yet but my posts are showing as green, the same as the OPs (whereas they used to be pink)

I’ve posted on page 2 how to change this

Android mobile - Chrome.
Ads are taking forever tomload and blocking all posts from loading while it sorts itself out. And then the pages frequently stick on the placeholder for an ad when im scrolling through a thread until the ad loads
No, I'm not premium so understand its a case of "suck it up buttercup" wrt ads, but it's really annoying and didn't happen previously.

You can change that in your own settings

Nope piggy

There's another thread on here somewhere with other posters saying there seems to have been no update from MNHQ for days. I've been here years, and even though there's been odd times when there's been app problems or site problems, it's never been more than a few hours.

iPhone SE2020 with the latest iOs: utterly refusing to hide topics or threads. Threads are showing from topics I have hidden, and when I try to hide them manually they disappear until I refresh, then they’re back like magic. This is a dealbreaker for me: I’ve swapped back to the mobile site, which so far is working fine, and I even like the new font.

Sorry, to clarify, the problem was with the app.

Has anyone had any acknowledgement from @MNHQ about the app posting issues?

I am also one who still can't access PMs.

MermaidEyes · 24/04/2022 10:09

Yep julesjules and dolphina exactly the same here! Hoping it will be fixed soon, if I can't use a simple app and have to use this awful clunky, busy version, then unfortunately my years on mumsnet are done.

anotherneutralname · 24/04/2022 09:37

having given up on the iPad ap, am trying safari. The text displays on top of itself, as in screenshot. I think I’m done with this now.

Has the 'refresh page' button (handy for the last page or post in a thread - previously at the bottom of the page) disappeared or has it been relocated?
I can't seem to find it any more and it was extremely useful, especially for fast-moving threads. grateful for any info.
Also sort out the capitalisation, please! sometimes it works but not always. Examples in this very post.

DolphinaPD · 24/04/2022 08:56

Android mobile app, can't post. It says success! Then oops something went wrong there. Can post from chrome.

picklemewalnuts · 24/04/2022 08:44

I don't think any of my bookmarks are working. Either that, or I'm getting very forgetful. Both seem equally likely, tbh.
