Option to see 25 posts per page has gone.

I can only see lots of posts with an option to load more.

On safari, iPhone 6, customised settings are set to 25 per page.

Hello @EarsUpTailUp thanks for posting - you're seeing this because we are currently testing a new way of scrolling through threads, and would appreciate any feedback you may have. Thanks.

Love having all messages loaded. Remember view all posts being an option back in 2010 maybe? I dislike limited posts per page.

Techno56 · 05/03/2025 14:49

Please put it back. Unusable.

Really dislike new layout. Being able to go to different pages in a thread is something I value. Hope you reinstate it

Well, feedback from me is : thanks, I hate it.
Please bring back the pages, scrolling through endless posts is soul destroying - I want to be able to navigate between the different points of each thread.

Edited

This is one reason I rarely use the app. It’s much easier to go through pages, not so easy to get lost!

Lauren1983 · 05/03/2025 14:38

Yes please can we have proper pages back?

Not liking this at all.

Feedback: I hate it. I have far less control of what I see. I don’t know how far to scroll to find a post I want to reread. It’s overwhelming and lacks coherence.

Why allow MNers to customise their experience if you’re then going to experiment with the option I deliberately didn’t choose?

So to sum it up, I really hate it, how soon can we have 25 posts per page back?

i do wonder about some social media though.

I barely use facebook because of the infuriating "showing you posts that are 2 weeks old in random order and the sudden refresh so that even if you are writing a reply, BAM! you are no longer where you thought you were."

And i have never found anything approaching a satisfying answer so - barely used. See also Twitter. And so now this site, which is slightly irritating in some ways, which is generally relatively ok to use is FAFFING ABOUT WITH THE USER EXPERIENCE.

So, why? Do people ask for this? or does someone in an office at the towers just think "hmm, how can we stir up the vipers today?"

Mine is still showing 50 which is how I have it set (mobile site, latest IOS). I just want the option to toggle between a set number and all posts easily to be brought back, I have asked several times since it was taken away and always been told no though.

Brefugee · 05/03/2025 12:41

also: how long is it going on for?

Brefugee · 05/03/2025 12:15

but general question: is there any kind of MN user forum, or feedback or anything that you consult about before you introduce more ridiculousness?

Brefugee · 05/03/2025 12:14

thanks for the heads up. Honestly is it so difficult to have said this in advance? it is bloody infuriating.
but since you asked: I want pages back, as specified in my settings

and i really would love to be able to go back to my last post in a thread (probably you want me to pay for that?)
