Mumsnet Talk re-platforming - Known issues update

It’s just the function that automatically puts a capital letter at the start of a subsequent paragraph

like this - the l would automatically capitalise like it does on Word and just about every other platform I use.

Why is this happening when I use search?

crazy how an upgrade makes things hard on the servers. You’d think that tech moving on would make things easier.

I don’t understand how auto-cap for new paragraphs is so difficult to fix.

I don’t understand how clicking on photos still makes them look tiny.

I don’t understand how screenshot grabs are now pointless - impossible to read them.

I’m going to guess that a lot of long-time users are find8ng ways to fudge their way round the site to keep on top of topics they’re interested in. But that doing so is fairly painful.

Feedback/updates have been really poor. Only when pushed and not covering half of the complaints.

Obviously all the bug fixes are needed first, but at some point would be good to discuss how things look visually, on screen, across various devices.

and I’m going to highlight again the fact that a number of people have highlighted issues re accessibility. I’m not placed to comment, but I hope that HQ are engaging and updating with regards to this.

Thanks for responding. I didn't realise how often I used it till it had gone.

Would it be opt-in? I hate autoformatting of any description (see above comment about the hugely annoying automatic paragraph numbering that has appeared)

Please can you update re the photos being too small to view. Thanks

Thanks for this update. It’s a minor irritation amongst the more significant issues but an irritation nonetheless, especially as it was present on the previous version of MN.

I know you’re working flat out and are probably worn down by all the many complaints. I hope that whatever functionality you gained behind the scenes as a result of this move can be balanced out by much needed improvements to the user interface over the coming days and weeks.

Any update on the ability to show all posts in a thread via the dropdown menu without having to make it your default? It was really handy for searching for a keyword with the browser in a long thread. But I don't want my default to be show all posts.

I didn't know MN had a refresh button in the first place

Or just hit the F5 key if you are using a PC.

@JustineMumsnet , @SueMumsnet , @KimMumsnet - what about the issues of the random listing of Last Hour threads, and the list updating every time we click back from a thread?

It used to be that the threads in Last Hour would be sorted according to topics, so it was easy to find the topics I wanted to see, and if I clicked onto a thread and read it, then clicked the back button to go back to the Last Hour threads list, I went back to the list, and it hadn’t updated in the few seconds I was away from it - now it updates in nano seconds, so if there are two threads I want to read, the second one disappears down the list whilst I’m looking at the first.

It makes the site very frustrating to use.

• issue, since raising on the first day of new platform.

Thanks Sue (first acknowledgment of this issued

And again (about my 6th time posting about this, multiple threads, no answer) - can we have tags automatically bolded, please?

@SueMumsnet

Or the option to not have automatic paragraph numbers? I would prefer no autoformatting at all.

Thanks for this update @SueMumsnet

any news on the minor but hugely irritating absence of auto capitalisation?

Mumsnet seem to be updating and replying on other site stuff threads but not this one. Sorry, don’t know how to link but Mumsnet are on a thread called something like Isn’t it time you gave us an update. It’s currently at the top of the list of site stuff threads.

17 seconds to post but trying to enter that by clicking on this box... Page jumped and I got "getting started" as I clicked on that instead of the text box, so had another big chunk of time getting back from that.

All in all a minute wasted waiting for threads to load, posts to post, etc.

This thread took 17 seconds to load from site stuff BUT..... It did take me to the bookmark . Going to time the posting, then refresh see if I go back to where I was reading yesterday...

Does anyone else have the rest of the post cut off mid-sentence after a quote?

Yes, this has been reported multiple times on multiple threads, apparently it's being looked at but not fixed as yet.

This is pissing ridiculous.

Bookmarked the last post after reading, then refreshed the page to see if anything else had been posted.

1, it took the page a little 15 seconds to load, which is so shit it's laughable

2, it took me waaaay back in the thread, rather than to the comment I'd fucking bookmarked!

Does anyone at MNHQ actually care??
