UPDATE FROM MNHQ - New OP view

211 replies

Hi all,

We're currently testing a new topic page layout called ‘OP view’. You may have noticed it already if you've been on the Gardening topic page in the last month. The aim is to make it easier for users to understand what a thread is about.

Today, we're making ’OP view’ available on Property/DIY, Telly Addicts, The Doghouse, Food/Recipes, Housekeeping and Home decoration. This change will only be on mobile and desktop, OP view is currently not available in the apps.

From initial feedback, you told us that you'd like to be able to switch between OP and classic view. You'll still be able to do this by using the icon on the page, but now you can also choose a default view in your Talk settings.

We appreciate your feedback so feel free to add it to this thread.

ooh bigly text. NICE.

I dont like it.
You end up reading the first few lines of the OP which often doesn’t tell you much. I find it time consuming and distracting tbh.

I much prefer a ‘ at a glance’ approach scanning through the titles.

What am I supposed to see?

The new view shows the first line of the op (I didn't get it instantly because to me op is original poster not original post)

But the title is also MASSIVE

Of course it's not 🙄

Why don't MN spend time delivering consistency across platforms rather than endless tweaks which are often meaningless & sometimes make the it worse?

I think it's a good idea in theory but my screen only shows three threads in this view and the scrolling is painful.

It's awful. Please go back to how it normally is.

Milarky · 02/11/2023 10:44

Am assuming it doesn't work on App as I can't see any difference!

almondseagull · 02/11/2023 10:43

hate it - too long to scroll to topics I am interested in (not SCD, bake off, ...)

Flev · 02/11/2023 10:41

Sorry, but that's horrible on a mobile, it's overwhelming and I can't easily scroll down to find threads I like.

ShirleyPhallus · 02/11/2023 10:38

It’s really messy - the lines don’t truncate so there is no consistency in size of preview. The ones which have photos are enormous compared to the ones that don’t.

also all in one colour (white) makes it seem really flat

I sometimes feel like MNHQ make changes that no one asks for…. Then totally ignore things we do want.

any update on moving the quote button out of the 3 dots and replacing the “reply” button with it?!
