PLEASE stop refreshing the page!

Oh dear God, can the site please stop doing a complete refresh every time I hit the back button???

Everything is in a different order every time I go back and I have to scroll to the top and start again.

MNHQ - any chance that this is going to be fixed?

It's awful. I also get the page refreshing while I'm reading a thread or writing a reply. It's so annoying to have nearly finished writing and suddenly whoosh, it's all gone.

AgentProvocateur · 04/05/2022 02:29

Yeah, it’s incredibly annoying.

Forkandknife23 · 04/05/2022 02:06

Also agree. After a few minutes I give up at the moment.

Bogeyes · 04/05/2022 02:03

I agree too

Bagelsandbrie · 04/05/2022 01:14

Agree!

Trouble is, since they have made all the changes, you can no longer 'refresh' a thread you might have had open for several minutes when you get to it.

You used to be able to do this until all the annoying changes, but they have now hidden the refresh button. So if you have a few tabs open, it can be quite out of date when you go to post.

You can use the refresh button in your browser. I've always done that. I didn't even know old Mumsnet had a refresh button until people pointed out it's disappeared!

Was he also Steven?

Steve or Steven, not sure, so now I don't know what I think about anything [dramatic face] Grin

nildesparandum · 03/05/2022 23:35

I hate this new site

Wammawink · 03/05/2022 23:31

This and other updates are making the site unusable for me as it's too annoying

I looked at the linked thread in case it was Original Tech commenting [misses the point]

Sunnytwobridges · 03/05/2022 23:26

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I've complained about this too, it's very frustrating! I have to open the post in a separate tab so that I can go back to the main tab without refreshing and sometimes I forget and it pisses me off. LOL I hope they fix this.

BovrilonToast · 03/05/2022 23:23

Agreed! I thought it was just me…

Afternoonteaandicecream · 03/05/2022 23:22

Agreed, am finding this so annoying too! Really hope they fix it.

Memyselfandfood · 03/05/2022 23:19

When i scroll down the page posts disappear too, the page freezes, crashes, this is is on my phone too!
nothing has been fixed.

Memyselfandfood · 03/05/2022 23:17

Yes, it’s crap. Nothing about this update is good.
i’ve stopping coming back as much now as i just can’t deal with it.
nothing works since the update, this page constantly crashes now when i try to use it.
it’s just not worth it.

Owesel · 03/05/2022 23:13

I agree. I used to like using active, clicked a link and went back to same list after reading the thread. Now I have to scan through the active list and open everything I'm interested in reading, in a new tab so I don't lose them! Please change it back to how it was.

StaunchMomma · 03/05/2022 23:11

Mumsnet seems to have gone to pot since the last update.

Thank you for mentioning thread refreshing...or not. I thought it was my tablet/Internet being annoying, which is just adding to the whole annoying experience of MN.

Adding my voice to the others. Its extremely irritating and not needed.

StageRage · 03/05/2022 23:02

It’s driving me potty!

ChazzaGirl · 03/05/2022 23:01

Another agree!

DuesToTheDirt · 03/05/2022 23:00

It used to do this before sometimes (on iphone) but now it's every single time. Drives me mad and after a few goes I give up.

I also get random page refreshes when viewing a thread, which is really annoying as it takes me back up to the top of the page and I lose my place.

ForeverWaitingInForParcels · 03/05/2022 22:58

AGREE. Please change this, MN.
