Mumsnet Talk re-platforming - Known issues update

Same here. It's infuriating.

It's mostly fine for me, but I really liked it before when the OP was in green and your own posts were in pink - can you bring that back? Apart from that, I'm getting used to the new site ok.

@SueMumsnet Where have the notification emails gone, for updates to threads you were on / watching?

400 bad request errors contantly, Android 11 using chrome. Clearing cookies which is the suggested solution doesn't help. I've had to load Firefox to get on and post this. It's been like this for days, it's only this evening I've had time to try to work out what is going on.

I went to "My Mumsnet" and then "Settings" and then "Talk Settings" (I think it was: I can't go and check, because if I do I will lose this post) and there was a place to check which I wanted for the number of posts per page: I think it was a choice of 25/50/100/All

Notifications for me as well. I get this

I can't post on the phone app. It comes up with 'ooops something went wrong'. I can post on the website version but that doesn't run well on my phone 🙄

What I miss is the ability to see 100 posts on one page. That was incredibly useful for searching.

I've noticed that as well Domesticated.

On all other platforms when you paste something, the cursor is deposited at the end of the pasted text.

Anyway I have come with some emoticon-related requests - can you re-enable the shortcuts :)
:( and colon-o (for some reason it's not actually letting me type a third colon ) for and - or if you no longer like :o then colon-D would be fine for the grinning face and colon-o could be shock (Seems both my colons and square brackets are rationed in this text box for some reason?)

Also can we just type the square bracket shortcut and not have to click to confirm please... that's a bit annoying.

This is quite small but still finding it irritating: When I copy and paste something, the text is automatically highlighted, so when I keep typing it bloody deletes what I've just posted! It didn't used to do this.

I do a lot of copy/pasting when quoting articles/people. Would be good if this could go back to how it was.

I can't bookmark. iPhone and iPad.

Is anyone else having the issue where when you press next post when reading only the op posts it freezes the page?
I'm using Chrome on Android for mobiles.

Me three!

Still can’t access my messages

and mine...

Also, while that is being fixed could the "watch this thread" button for threads in "I'm on" be brought into use so that I can watch threads I have posted to in the past, and don't have to go to two places every time I want to see threads I am interested in? At present I can click on "watch thread" until I am blue in the face and it doesn't cause that thread to be in my "I'm watching". I have tried unwatching those threads (since they come ready-marked as being watched) and then licking on "watch thread" again next time I go into them, but no joy.

Why is it that when things are "improved" it always makes them worse? Before they finally decided to close down the BBC discussion boards and stop posting anything to their blogs, every "improvement" they made caused those to be less pleasant to use, less functional, and with fewer of the features we had got used to over the years.

"If it ain't broke don't fix it" is a good motto on the internet as it is in a garage.

Yes, this keeps happening here too. Probably the most annoying aspect of the update for me.

Most of it's not working for me

Notifications STILL don't work.

Any chance of restoring my disappeared watched threads?

The 1000 post limit on a thread no longer seems to work - at least, on the app it is still possible to post on a thread that has 1000+ posts

I spoke too soon when I said that bookmarking seemed to work on "new" threads - ones that were created after the clusterfuck of an "upgrade".

They don't

They seém to work initially but then re-bookmarking - as is normal on a fast moving thread and the whole point of having the facility - they don't change to the new bookmark It might work initially/for a short while but when you go back in later (you know, because we have lives outside of MN - or might have wanted to read some other threads ) it's jumped back to the "old" bookmark.

It's making it very difficult to follow a thread

Oops, sorry about this but we seem to have lost this page.
We'll have a fish down the back of the sofa cushions. Meantime, try one of these options.

Could this message be any more twee? Thanks to Google I can find lost threads but messages like this come across like you are some cute start up organisation. Not funny or appropriate.

Yes please.

I second the comment re it not taking you to the most recent post in the watched list. It is putting me off bothering. Could we have this reinstated please?

@milkyaqua, Oh OK, I haven't really followed the argument about the edit button, I see it could be frustrating. I am really a minimal user and cannot conceive of the annoyance of reading this on a phone. Trying to get the appearance back on Mozilla is bad enough I did compose an answer to you but on that browser all the preview, post, edit buttons have gone also cannot save my settings. It is surprisingly upsetting to feel cut off from your usual browser and be forced to use Microsoft. Anyway I need to stop messing about and go to bed so please excuse me if you do reply.
