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!

I've had another intermittent issue - the site being weirdly wide and then when you scroll down it kept trying to ping off the side.

It was last night but I forgot to post about it.

I think there's also a bug in the form of if you click the arrow next to a particular post on the "I'm watching" section it still takes you to your bookmark. Presumably if I've clicked an arrow rather than the thread name it's because I wanted a particular post rather than the thread so it would be good to fix that.

I'd also really like it to show posts since you watched it (I used to use bump and reset) but recognise that might be an active decision rather than a bug even if it's not a decision I like.

Another issue. Right on the edge of cancelling premium and doing a proper hair-tossing flounce. Shall attempt patience...

Anyway: iPad ap, re-installed this evening to no avail:

  • responses to a search show the same five thread titles over and over as you scroll down
  • bookmarks still aren't working properly, they don't hold when you leave a thread and return
  • "that" parking thread seems to crash the ap as it kicks me out every time I try to read it

Thread Posting Limit
This thread www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4529433-To-ask-for-weird-realisations-you-ve-had-about-life
has been showing 'not accepting new posts' ever since it got to 1000 posts (as normal). But it seems some people can still post on it as it's now at 1004 posts.
Either:

Threads can now exceed 1000 posts but it's not allowing everyone to go over

or

Threads are still limited to 1000 posts but an error is allowing some people to override this.

I think I'm in the same club as mermaideyes and mummabubs. Can't post on the app, or on Safari on my macbook. Have had to open Chrome to post this. V annoying.

Piggywaspushed · 23/04/2022 18:51

MermaidEyes · 23/04/2022 13:47

mummabubs exactly the same here! Have uninstalled, reinstalled, logged in and out...Android app just won't let me post. (I'm now on chrome via phone too).
Also, I can't open any links and the posting times are still off for me (so showing that they were posted an hour behind when they actually were).
So frustrating if it means I just can't use mumsnet anymore as I only use the app.

Exactly the same for me.

DrMadelineMaxwell · 23/04/2022 18:49

On my laptop ctrl and return used to post a thread or reply I was writing.

Not any more it doesn't.

SpaghettiSquash · 23/04/2022 15:56

picklemewalnuts · 23/04/2022 14:15

I'm on the iPad app.

I keep getting thrown out of a thread- the road resurfacing/parking thread. It won't bookmark, either.

I've tried going from the end and from the start, and filtered for OP's posts, but whenever I get close to the rumoured photos of the fabled DonkeySizeDogWithIt'sOwnBedroom I get kicked out!

Getting a bit frustrated now!

I have exactly the same problem with that thread! It's very frustrating!

AdaColeman · 23/04/2022 15:45

I'm using Safari on a Mac Book and finding it very clunky and time consuming to navigate around the site.
There are no clickable links such as ACTIVE or I'M ON at the top of the page, only a button that opens a drop down menu with various options. So obviously it is slow to move from one board to another.

Any advice would be very welcome!

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 23/04/2022 15:42

I found an issue - the 'done' button doesn't work, so if you start writing a post and change your mind you can't go back without posting it.

I have exactly the same issue on my iMac . It is more than just annoying as it has stopped me going on the site

Same here - safari on iOS. It’s making the site mega clunky to use!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 23/04/2022 14:46

Nobody has Advanced Search now. They've improved the ordinary Search function now with a view to just having that. I haven't tried it but apparently it's much better than it was, but searching for specific dates is currently difficult. However, it's planned to sort that out.

Hi, on IPhone and every single time I click on a new page I have to redo the consent for cookies form. It’s driving me mad!

Parpophone · 23/04/2022 14:26

Any plans to bring back the "last day" option?

If I look at active threads there are only about 50. Nothing I click on loads in a new tab (my laptop settings are fine) and clicking the back button gives me a refreshed list. I don't want a refreshed list. With "last day" I could just go back to that tab and click on the threads I want to read.

If I "load more" on active they all disappear again when I use the back button so I have to keep doing it.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 23/04/2022 14:16

Ah yes! I’ve lost advanced search too. Maybe they’re trying to encourage us all to pay for premium.

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 23/04/2022 14:03

Although my uploaded gifs work in Preview, they don't when they post.

I no longer get a post URL when I bookmark so I can't use that to link to a post on another thread or upthread.

I no longer have Advanced Search.

Chrome browser. (up to date).
Mac OS Monterey 12.3.1

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 23/04/2022 13:44

Can't send direct messages.

Also, the reply box used to have the little symbol in the bottom right hand corner which you could use to stretch the size of the box. Useful when writing a long reply as it meant you could see the whole thing without scrolling. Doesn't seem to be possible now.

I miss not being able to post a reply by pressing on Ctrl + Enter.

DrMadelineMaxwell · 23/04/2022 13:05

In active the first rows are always blank for me.

The op first post being in full on every page has been mentioned upthread and is definitely a pain.

Gladioli23 · 23/04/2022 09:21

Another slight bug - my ability to see watched threads etc vanished with no bottom bar at all for a while and then just the active button. See attached. Appears to be back now.

Android, website, chrome.

@LoveSpringDaffs thank you! I didn’t realise, the colours just defaulted like that on the previous version so I thought it was an error they hadn’t on the update. I didn’t like the pink but being the same green as OP is confusing, so off to see what I can do. Thanks!

SquirrelFan · 22/04/2022 23:32

I used to be able to click "show all" for the OP's posts and then Flip the thread. I would be shown only the OP's posts, from the most recent to the oldest. Great way to quickly catch up. Now if I flip the thread after clicking "show all", it shows aaaalllll the posts.

When searching for a thread, say with a key word like "menopause", you used to be able to filter for "most recent". Not any more.

hotchocdrinker · 22/04/2022 23:11

I'm having trouble with bookmarks too.
