Mumsnet Talk re-platforming - Known issues update

the 'this page has expired; do you want to refresh the page' has come back again. But not consistently enough that I can do a screen video. Just random times when I press back.

Along with all the other problems I've reported that just seem to be ignored. the layout, the tiny font, the fact you can't read it properly, words overlapping.

And the iphone app constantly resetting threads I'm on/watched so everything looks new every day

and I’ve just had to scroll all the way to the end of this page to see if there are any updates because bookmark doesn’t ever work.

Sorry, I wasn't quite clear; the email that I had was from Lily, not Justine.

I don't suppose she will mind if I quote her, since it applies to everyone else quite as much as to me; she wrote that she was sorry they'd suggested the wrong fix for the problem to me, and then "- there's a wider issue with images that has yet to be fixed. We're aware that they are simply too small to make them functional and we're going to rectify this ASAP. Although we don't have a time scale yet, we're hoping that knowing this will help - as the issue will most certainly be temporary."

Perhaps they are aware, but screenshots might help? The reason I wrote to them is that I can't do screenshots but wanted to make it clear what the problem I am having is.

@JustineMumsnet The posters above state you are fully aware of the issues with the images being too small to be viewed but on the other post on site stuff you asked me to screen shot as MN didnt know what the problem was. Please can you clarify as I am not alone in having this problem. Thank you

YY to this. Drives me mad.

screen refreshing unexpectedly

it drives me mad. I could be halfway through typing then suddenly everything vanishes then, waiting for it to reload looks like this. Half the time whatever I’ve been typing has vanished too!

Excellent! :).

I have gathered from a remarkably courteous email reply to my somewhat peevish comments that they are very much aware of the trouble with images being very small and coming out sideways, and they are working on it.

Also the small and sideways photos. Sybil cat just does not look her beautiful best sideways on.

@JustineMumsnet any update on the PM issue?

Search - we will release changes to search tomorrow that will include a better date filter. We’re also working on an advanced search that will allow you to search all posts in the same way as before

Great, thanks. I just tried to search for posts by a particular poster (me actually!) and just couldn't work out how to do it now.

I’m totally open to doing a screen share call, but not sure how productive it will be. It’s totally random when it happens. Sometimes I think it’s the “ooh, post midnight gremlins”, then other times it happens during the day.

Am happy for you to PM me if that’s the best way to proceed.

Im not sure if this is being looked at or not. It's really annoying that if I refresh a page with a bookmark it doesn't take me to the bookmark. I know if we go on 'threads im watching' it works OK. I want to be able to leave a thread open, refresh the page and it take me to my last bookmarked post like it used to.

Hi @KatyMumsnet it's a Samsung S10 and Chrome

threads I'm on and I'm watching still not correct on the iphone app - they keep resetting and looking like new posts

Yes and if you unwatch them they come back a day or so later ha.

threads I'm on and I'm watching still not correct on the iphone app - they keep resetting and looking like new posts

print/numbers is still tiny on desktops (firefox on a mac) - not the posts themselves, but all the navigation buttons, the trending list, the threads im on etc., very hard to read

still tons of blank space at sides and top of screen and words just in a narrow central strip, so tons of scrolling (firefox on a mac) which is also bad for accessibility

blank threads at top of list

threads I'm on still has overlapping words whenever someone posts a list (as in this most recent from mumsnet)

still no names on thread lists showing the last poster

random black squares and error 500

It's frustrating and a big time-waster.

You would think this functionality would be kind of fundamental to a message forum.

On Samsung Galaxy tablet, running Samsung Internet browser. The site is slow & laggy as hell, pages keep reloading, & certain specific threads appear like this:
The first image is zoomed out. The second is zoomed in so I can actually read the text. I only have full vision in one eye. This obviously causes me accessibility issues as I struggle to read it, & it doesn't scroll as easily. On the days I'm stuck on bed (quite often TBH) I rely on my tablet as I'm massively bored, when I'm not asleep. Recently I've been giving up on MN quite often & am more likely to use Reddit, which I hated when I first discovered it.
I don't generally have technical problems on other sites.

Apologies if someone else has already highlighted this particular problem, I also have reading issues due to my disability.

Threads 'I'm On' had started working again on a laptop/desktop but for the last couple of days I'm getting the error 500 page again.

On Android with Chrome and have a new problem...

When an image is posted by someone, it shows as being way off to the right of my screen (image 1)

When I drag it to the centre of my screen to be able to see it, a blank space apoears to the right of my screen (image 2)

When I then close the image and return to the thread, the text is tiny, off centre and stays like that (image 3) almost as if I've gone to a desktop view. I haven't. The only way to return to a normal sized, centred screen view is to refresh the page. So irritating.

I've numbered the images as in the order I posted them, but not sure if they will come up in the same order if that makes sense?

Notifications/navigation glitch:

When navigating from a thread back to the notifcations list I just came from, I use the back arrow on the browser, it starts to execute, but then bounces me back to the thread. Second attempt takes me all the way to the notifications list. So I'm having to back-page twice each time. Persistent since notifications reappeared. Oddest glitch I've ever come across!

(Safari, latest iOS, iPad mini)

iPad, safari browser. Just in case anyone on the tech team is bothered to take note.

I’ve seen no mention of reinstating the “go to” box re pages. Please reinstate this. It’s really frustrating, especially given the fact that notification links aren’t working, to have to scroll/click through.

Can’t remember what I clicked, but then got this following the black ad screen.
