UPDATE FROM MNHQ - New OP view

Hard to read. Time-consuming. Have to wade through screeds of words. I'm just not going to do that. I want to scroll and a get a broad range of input rather than deeper narrower input. My eyes can take in many titles more quickly and can make quicker decisons re. level of interest the old way.

I can’t see any difference on the mobile version?!

If users have requested something along these lines then as long as there is the ability to switch between them (and it actually work…) then fine but if you do roll it out it needs ALOT of work, that is SO messy and difficult to read on a mobile. Im genuinely surprised that either no one bothered to look at mobile view before making the page live or someone has Completely forgotten mobile users exist. It’s bad. 😂

Presumably because changes have to be written in a different code and by app developers. So makes sense to test a concept on a more flexible platform before investing in app development. (Is my guess anyway)

I absolutely hate it! Think it's probably the thing that will push me to stop using mumsnet completely if the site ends up looking like that

Oh God just realised that the threads now open in a new tab too!! Why? That is just so annoying. I don't use the 'My Feed' feature for that very reason!!

I do.
I also use the mobile site on my phone - I suspect most Android users do

I agree with PPs that the best way for users to know what the thread is about is for the OP to use an informative title. We get posts on the AIBU board with the title “AIBU”? Or “AIBU to think….?” I just skip those now. In fact I skip most of AIBU because of all the “posting here for traffic” or posts that are not asking a question at all.

A “preview pane” like in the proposed view won’t necessarily help. The first line of the post can be something like “so what do you think about this? then a line break. So I’d probably skip those too.

@Seeline YES! 100% what you've said.

Ugh awful. Theres no way I would choose to view MN using this new feature.

Same here.

Just why?!

The whole point of looking at an individual board is to have a quick glance down the list of threads to see if the title is relevant to you. Now using the mobile site you can see three threads and so little of the first post as to make it completely pointless!

If people can't make the title of their thread helpful that's their problem.

Now I need to work out how to turn it off.

Just had a quick look and I’m sorry to disappoint everyone on this thread but I think it’s okay.

Ditto.

I wondered what at happened when I went to browse on Housekeeping. It's horrible, I don't like it, I like to scroll through the titles.

I access Mumsnet on my smartphone using Chrome, not on the app.

Off to turn it off now!

The new tab thing is really irritating.

it shows just a chunk of the first post which I guess could be useful sometimes, but not always. How does it work if there is content some may want to avoid and the post is just there. Even if the title has a warning then people may still see content they prefer not to.

i just can’t see it being used widely and like others I think there are other features that need to be finessed and rolled out on all platforms before you tinker like this.

Do not like one bit.

Me. I use a desktop.
and on my phone I use normal browser, not an app.

Crazy that the app hasn't changed. Who uses a desktop to mumsnet? Total waste of time unless we can all access it.

Ah I see.
I don’t like this @LilyMumsnet . I like to scroll quickly through the titles because I only ever want to read a few. So I like a compact view with each title clearly defined, as in the current view. I find the really large text for the title, with the first line of the OP in normal text, much more difficult to read.

Oh goodness, that is awful!

Very pleased we can turn it off.

I don't like that it opens the thread you click on in a new tab. If I want to open in a new tab I'll choose to (ctrl+click or right click and select Open In New Tab). Really hate when it automatically does it because it clutters up my tab bar or whatever it's called.

Me too.

Yep it's horrible. I immediately turned it off in settings too.

I like it but it would be better if images weren't included.
