Mumsnet Talk re-platforming - Known issues update

On the view all posts thing - I have my account set to show 100 posts per page because that's a workable number for me on my phone and means I don't lose my place etc.

I would have often used the View All Posts functionality to scan a long thread or to search for a key word. I don't want to change my settings to view all posts on all threads, just do it quickly for the occasional thread.

The combination of the removal of that feature and the useless search function means it's much harder to find relevant informaton.

When there is formatting in a thread (e.g., bullet points), it doesn't work when the thread is in a list (e.g., threads I'm on) where you see previews of the post; the threads overlap so that the writing is on top of the earlier thread on the list

Sorry not topic titles, I mean thread titles. In the long list of threads. Yesterday they'd gone back to cold, which was easier to read, but now they're not again.

The bold topics titles that came back yesterday have gone again today

@JustineMumsnet are you any further on with all of this?

Yes, to this .

Hi,

thanks for the list.

im still having issues

1. I can’t post at all via the apps. It just keeps saying to retry.

2). My ‘threads I’m on’ list is incomplete. For example on the ‘raging at the world’ thread I need to go to my ‘watching’ list to find it, even though I have posted on it.

I’m using an iPad or iPhone

I have posted this message via the web browser.

many thanks.

I can't access any posts at all now on my iPhone- I get a 400 error. I've had to download the app just to be able to post this.

When I could get on a day or two ago, when I clicked on "request desktop site" so that I could view mumsnet as I would on a laptop, it the new site no longer allows that to happen when on my phone. That's my preferred way of viewing as I just can't get on with the mobile view.

That's wrong actually. The tio thread count shows the number of threads I have been on and only a few that had been hidden by me or deleted by you were showing. So this meaning number count on threads is way out but number of threads actually showing in tio was not too far off

All the threads I've ever been on including those deleted are showing in threads I'm on.

I use Android latest version and access mumsnet via a browser. Usually edge

Same here re notifications.

Ditto.

The red 'counter' shows I have 18 notifications.
When I click to go to the notification page ... "YOU HAVE NO NOTIFICATIONS".
Which makes checking back on threads/OP's I gave a shit about almost impossible.

If that's a bug most users are encountering, & it doesn't get fixed in short order, PP simply won't bother to invest their time and content on MN. There are plenty of other places to arse about on the 'net ... & I wonder how many users will migrate to them.

Just typed a whole post and lost it when attaching the image didn't work. It used to be that you could at least go back to the page after something went wrong and your typing would at least still be there.

Many posts are still full of formatting code on the app, which makes them unreadable. I am trying to attach an image that shows this.

Also on the app, the colour change to show I've read a post isn't lasting - in threads I'm on, or threads I'm watching, the titles will go blue when I've read them. But when I refresh the page, some of them will go back to white again, even when nothing has changed on the thread. It just remains constantly in an unread state.

I think I'll get used to it. I miss the option to easily go to a page of my choice though. Even if it were a different way of doing it (click on the ... to bring up a box you can type in perhaps?) I'd be happy.

(I'd really prefer the usernames to be blue again as well.)

The new search facility is really bad. Worse than before
please revert to the old Advanced Search.

loaded images are tiny and virtually useless.

We’ve changed the way the pages are laid out - to go to the last page you just need to click the highest number in the list

the word last in bold font physically takes up more space than a numeral. This means it is easier for users to navigate to. Especially for users with issues with dexterity. It’s much more user friendly.

can you bring back the

I'm paying good money for MN premium, which I only took out to financially support the site. Most of the product trials are irrelevant to me and I'm not particularly bothered about ads. But for a whole day now I get "there's something wrong with your internet connection" on whole topics, including my favourites AIBU and Chat but some random ones load with no problem such as Covid and London

I too keep getting logged out which is unbelievably frustrating

I have two notifications, but when I try to open them, am told I have no notifications.

Keep being logged out (despite hitting keep me logged in) and when I sign in takes me to an error code page. Which I then have to go back 2/3 pages to find what I was looking for!

also, whoever did your replatforming needs to be crediting you for all these issues. Basic stuff guys? Who did your UAT?

yes please!

iphone in website not app - bookmark for this thread not working

App on Android
Bookmark function not working correctly as doesn't register all bookmarks

Other minor but poorly designed things include the fact that when you have to log in (repeatedly), the log-in page doesn't do things like automatically give your email addresses in predictive search the way many text-fields asking for emails do (on mobile devices). The predictive text can be adapted for specific fields, and that's really useful if yo uare having to put in an email address repeatedly. Of course, if you didn't have to keep logging in the get updated threads etc ,that would be less of an issue, but still - it shows attention to detail when the programmers bother to do little details like that.

Haven't read this full thread (primarily because the layout makes it too difficult to do that!) but I don't see anything about the problems of the mini-font for all the topic labels, thread titles in trending, navigation (active etc), etc., or the huge masses of empty space on the desktop, or the huge amounts of extra vertical space because everything is 1.5 spaced or double spaced, so it's just constant scrolling.

Those, plus the horrible miniature, impossible-to-see photos/images in posts, are some of the main things that are still making it unusable for me.

The lack of posting time and name for the most recent post is also annoying, but more trivial.

Sorry for the amateur graphics but I also get blank spaces at the top of active threads. I assume these are where thecadmin messages or posts should be.
