I like that when you start a thread you can choose any of your previously registered usernames. I like that you can choose which topic it goes in. I like that it is really easy to
swap between different ways of adding emphasis.

Anyone else have a positive thing to say?

I like that when you start a thread you can choose any of your previously registered usernames

you were able to type whichever of your usernames you wanted to use with the previous version of the website though.

I couldn't when starting a thread. I could when replying but on my device I had to go to settings if I wanted to start my own thread.

  • Did someone say bullet points?
  • I like this bit too 👉 - could never remember how to do it in the old days.
  • Did I mention I like bullet points?

I've hardly used it since the new launch, but apart from the initial shock of change so far I like it too! Having more white space is more relaxing to me (I hate visually busy sites), and the extra emojis and easier formatting is an improvement.

No idea about the option to chose your username before posting as it only gives me my usual one 🤔

Where is the bullet point feature? That would be great 😎

RightOnTheEdge · 22/04/2022 23:25

Fgs! Please ignore that face I wasn't rolling my eyes at anyone, sorry! 😳

PureBlackVoid · 22/04/2022 23:23

Oooh I don’t think this was a feature before, on ‘watching’ and ‘I’m on’ you can now view threads you’ve started. I used to have to advance search myself to do this😂

Antarcticant · 22/04/2022 23:23

I like the way it saves more than 50 'threads I'm on' (although the total is a bit scary).

RightOnTheEdge · 22/04/2022 23:22

PureBlackVoid · 22/04/2022 23:17

I don’t NC very often but that feature when starting new threads sounds so much simpler than farting around with the settings!

I like that the OP is shown at the top of each new page on a thread, without having to specifically click ‘show op’. That sometimes used to cause the page to refresh and you’d lose any half typed reply. So much easier when you’re replying to a long OP or after reading 6 pages of posts.

I also like the quote within a quote within a quote feature.

SushiGo · 22/04/2022 22:53

I love it too! Looks much cleaner and much simpler to add a link, picture etc.

Big cheer from me HQ. Sorry you had to deal with all the moaners.

I love that I can go straight to the FWR board by clicking the board link above the thread title.😀

I also love this feature and use that quick link from threads in ‘I’m on’ too. 👍

plinkplinkfizzer · 22/04/2022 22:46

I like the update too and had no problems with all three of my devices 👍.

bigyellowTpot · 22/04/2022 22:44

Nothing positive, I'm on samsung android and its shit. And why does it keep logging me out ffs, im constantly having to log back it. should have left well enough alone, if it ain't broke don't fix it and all that it's really shit now I've not been on MN as much cos of it.

KateTheEighth · 22/04/2022 22:40

No pinned threads!

This bit!

I pressed reply instead of quote...

demotedreally · 22/04/2022 22:32

This is my favourite bit too

ILoveAllRainbowsx · 22/04/2022 22:29

I like that it is much easier to put something in bold.

I like that you can quote a quote.

But then I thought it was ridiculous that these weren't possible before.

How do you do bullet points?

Show quote history

Use a hyphen at the start of a line and space afterwards.

MrsR87 · 21/04/2022 21:50

I really like it. I find it much clearer and more user friendly! 😍

ScarlettDarling · 21/04/2022 21:48

The change isn’t really bothering me too much. I have found that in ‘I’m on’ I’ve got loads of old threads that I haven’t posted on in weeks! Didn’t they used to disappear after 3 days? I preferred it that way.

Mufflette · 21/04/2022 21:48

I don't have to click on the drop-down 10 times before it will tag someone in a thread, it just does it!

Lougle I've used the [[ for years but the new way is definitely easier imo. How did you change name before posting a new thread without going to settings?

Why does my app seem to be exactly the same as before 🤷🏼‍♀️
