Mumsnet Talk re-platforming - Known issues update

846 replies

JustineMumsnet · 21/04/2022 14:44

Hi all,
As you probably know we re-plaftormed the site overnight on Tuesday (in order to move to a faster, more stable and secure site which would be easier to develop new features on). There are a number of issues and bugs as a result of the move that we are working through and we thought it would be a good idea to list them on a page which we can keep updated as we sort through the problems. You can find that page here.

Mumsnet is a very large, complicated and old site - we've been working on re-platforming for the best part of 3 years - so it's not a huge surprise there are some bugs but please be assured we are working our way through them will get to them all as soon as we possibly can. In the meantime I do apologise for any inconvenience and frustration - I know it's been a painful day and a half for some.

Thank you to all those who've fed back and are helping us solve the remaining issues - it's really much appreciated Flowers.

Quoting a quote should have been a real enhancement - instead we have these insane multiple vertical lines which add to the huge amount of ssssssssssscccccccccccrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooolllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg now required for this site. Really bloody annoying and very poorly designed.

Threads I've read on the app are indicating I've read them but if I go into active and come back to threads I'm on they don't indicate any more and some don't have new posts. I keep thinking there's posts I've not reas

Please go back to us having the option to hide the OP on every page. I made a thread about this. It's a nuisance to start every page with the Ops OP and not to have the hide option.

Minor bug - where I have commented on a thread it goes back to my comment when I refresh to see if more posts have been made or go back to the tab from viewing another tab. This is even though I have bookmarked (much) later comments in that thread several times. Really frustrating on long running threads.

This is still happening. Beyond annoying now to constantly have to scroll through ever more posts to find the bookmark.

Still waiting for "yesterday" and "today" to be reinstated instead of dates

Yep!

I'm finding this too, it's surprisingly annoying and I'm struggling to get used to it for some reason. On the whole the update has been OK for me.

I'd also like the Threads I'm Watching to have the number of new posts since I last viewed rather than total posts. That's how it displayed before. I much prefer this feature now though on the whole, love being able to order by latest update rather than just date watched.

Thanks Wine

Has it been mentioned that if you are sending a PM pressing enter sends the message instead of starting a new paragraph? V irritating!

This is safari on iPhone.

Ah yes that 😡

people are getting 4/5 messsges from me as keep pressing return

i like paragraphs

Furries · 28/04/2022 01:44

Generally, site seems really slow and “laggy”, it’s not quick to navigate around.

ipad using safari browser.

Furries · 28/04/2022 01:43

And adding a post, have had the screen refresh multiple times and lose everything I’ve typed. Plus point is I’m getting more done around the house.

Furries · 28/04/2022 01:41

Notifications STILL don’t work - get taken back to first page of thread. This is THE most annoying thing for me.

hotchocdrinker · 28/04/2022 00:13

My bookmarks still aren't working...

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 27/04/2022 23:55

PMs seem more like a messenger service rather than an e-mail now. Didn't we have a subject line before?

Iwasfeelingepic · 27/04/2022 22:44

Are we still not having a bigger/brighter border between posts?

TheHighStreetsAreDying · 27/04/2022 22:03

Further to my previous question, I mean why isn't 'trending' visible at the top of right on a page on my tablet? Yes, it's there at the bottom of the page on my tablet, but I only look at the top right on my tablet, just as I do on my laptop/desktop version.

Surely it should be consistent across all ways of using mumsnet? Or am I missing something obvious @MNHQ?

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/04/2022 21:39

@Winecheesesleep glad you Said the same as me

apart from mine is threads im
on yours is watching

but the same concept

i will say @JustineMumsnet the two things I LOVE about the new site

1 you can quote a quote

2 bold underscore crossed out

is so much easier now

the amount of times I fucked up bold is uncountable 😂

Also... this is something that's changed and is annoying me. Previously, I would scroll down "active", click on a thread and read it, then use the browser back button to go back to "active", and it would take me to the exact place in the list so I could continue scrolling down. Now, when I go back, the active list has refreshed and reordered itself. This happened as a bug on the old site a little while ago (various people inc me reported it via "site stuff") and it got fixed. Any chance this could be looked into again, please? (Thanks for persevering through all the bug fixes btw!)

I'm finding this too, it's surprisingly annoying and I'm struggling to get used to it for some reason. On the whole the update has been OK for me.

I'd also like the Threads I'm Watching to have the number of new posts since I last viewed rather than total posts. That's how it displayed before. I much prefer this feature now though on the whole, love being able to order by latest update rather than just date watched.

by "change number by posts to be new replies..." where do you mean @Blondeshavemorefun ?
do you mean in notifications?

Show quote history

On threads I’m on

so my ee thread and this one both have how many replies

this one 276

where before it would have the number of new replies say 4/6 or 80 if hadn’t looked for a while

but unless I click on it I don’t know if new ones /or if I’ve read them , unless I’m the last one to post

Hope that makes sense

@MNHQ Why can I see trending on my laptop/desktop, but can't see them on my android tablet? (Google chrome browser in both cases). I could see trending on my tablet 2 days ago🤔

Anyone else got the same? And yes, I have logged out and back in on my tablet... but no change 😕

NCTDN · 27/04/2022 19:57

@JustineMumsnet I don't mind doing that.

@JustineMumsnet @SueMumsnet sounds like you have been very busy trying to fix issues

can you change number by posts to be new replies (like used to be) and not total replies

so know if any new ones since I’ve read so no need to click on thread

Thanks @JustineMumsnet but my bookmarks still don't work.

Hi @NCTDN - we're really really struggling to track this issue down. We've spent hours and hours trying to recreate the problem and bookmarks are working fine for us.

So can I ask - would anyone who's having this problem regularly be willing to jump on a v quick video call with us so we can watch the problem in action and try and work out what's going on? Would take no more than 5 mins and would be hugely appreciated. If you're willing - please post here and then I'll PM you to set up. Thanks so much for any help!

NCTDN · 27/04/2022 18:44

Thanks @JustineMumsnet but my bookmarks still don't work.
