Active always updating when pressing back

30 replies

Musingsofthemind · 30/04/2022 19:49

Usually I scroll active and pick a thread, read it, then press back to go back to active. However, another thread I wanted to read has then moved somewhere else down or up the list as active refreshes when I press back. Some even drop off active al together when the site is busy.

This is very annoying. Minor, but annoying.

Anyone else?

Surely this should be done by now?

Nope. It's just happened to me and this thread was top of active! Very irritating.

Please please sort this out. Driving me up the wall.

Me too @CloseYourEyesAndSee In fact I went more than 24 hours with no MNing, which is probably great for my productivity, but a bit of a shame.

Hi MNHQ
any news on a fix for this?
it seems like a small thing but it's putting me off using mumsnet entirely. In fact I've not enjoyed using it since the update and this is a big reason why. I'm sure I'm not the only one!

You can fix it by opening each thread in a new tab. Then when you go back to Active it’s still the same. It’s not just Active that does this though - every single page reloads when you’re swiping back and forwards, it’s extremely annoying!

That’s actually my usual method but that doesn’t work right now either. It refreshes the list when I go back to that tab.

Hi there, the devs are aware of this and are working on a fix. Sorry - we know it's a pain.

Ohilovetorave · 30/04/2022 21:42

Agree! Bugs the hell out of me

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 30/04/2022 21:39

Same here. It’s annoying. Yes there is a work around using new tabs, but that’s not a natural way of using such forums.

Takingabreakagain · 30/04/2022 21:36

It's really annoying and like a pp I'm spending less time than before because I'm not seeing what I want to see
I saw another thread about this and someone from @MNHQ commented saying it was being looked into. Seems they haven't sorted it yet.

Chrestomanci3 · 30/04/2022 21:32

Yes, it's frustrating. Happening on android mobile site.

Quirkycarrot · 30/04/2022 20:59

Agreed!

JackieQueen · 30/04/2022 20:58

Yeah, spoils it doesn't it? Makes everything so disjointed!

Noclosure · 30/04/2022 20:47

This has been annoying me for days!

HappyCup · 30/04/2022 20:45

Yes! So annoying.

BooksAndHooks · 30/04/2022 20:42

Yes even finding active isn’t as easy. I can never find threads I wanted to read as they now move about.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 30/04/2022 20:42

It does this in “Last Hour” too. I’ve flagged it up to MNHQ, but I’m not even sure they’ve acknowledged it.

BrilloSolar · 30/04/2022 20:40

Yes! Seems such a minor thing but is really annoying me. I'll scroll though Active and might spot a few threads I'd like to read but then can't come back and can't remember what category it was under.

Opening a new tab on mobile is tiresome tbh. On a laptop, it doesn't matter as much as I just right-click and open in the background and I don't mind having multiple tabs open. Mobile is irritating!

God, this has been bugging the shit out of me! Please fix it!

GrumpyPanda · 30/04/2022 20:04

Same here. Irritates the hell out of me.

Thunderboxskin · 30/04/2022 20:04

Yes, it's really annoying. I like to be able to go back and browse the threads that were already there. Now it just refreshes and everything is different.

ShadowPuppets · 30/04/2022 20:02

Same. If I remember I open as new tabs but tbh it just clutters up my phone and I wind up not reading them. Extremely irritating.

Tattydh · 30/04/2022 20:01

Me too. It annoyed me so much I downloaded the app but that is almost just as bad, if not worse so I think I might just give up.
Since the 'upgrade' I am spending less and less time on here
