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.

Can MNHQ indicate how long this test group is scheduled for and when a decision will be made? Also, will it be something we can choose via settings or will it be the same for everyone? Just to clarify, I don't have this feature and I'm glad I don't from what people have said and the numerous threads.

KellyMumsnet · 28/05/2025 10:38

We'll remove everyone from the test group who's asked here over the last few days.

My pages in a long thread suddenly disappeared this morning while I was partway through reading. I thought I had done something to change the settings but they are still at 25 posts per page. I hate it and think it makes a long thread unmanageable and makes me think I won’t read anything with lots of replies again. I see there are apparently “solutions” involving bookmarks and something else that I will have to scroll back endlessly to find out, but that’s made MN so much more complicated that it’s not going to be enjoyable anymore.
This thread started in March and the no pages was apparently a test group then. Is it still? Can we still request to be removed and have pages back?

I can’t get rid of infinite scrolling either, when I open a thread even one I have yet to read I’m taken to a random post, rather than the last post I have read.

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?"

Quite agree. I hate Twitter and Facebook and barely use them any more. Facebook is frustrating because it isn't customisable. You see posts from 5 years ago. Not interested in that! I want to see the
most recent posts.

On Mumsnet, the pagination provides a sense of structure. There are 1000 posts in a full thread, 40 pages. I know this and like to see it. I like to skip from one page to another, often searching back in my most-visited threads for particular posts that I recall.

Permanent scrolling is awful. It's unstable. It's like going down an endless chute with no idea when you'll hit the bottom.

It's a big NO from me. And it only started for me this afternoon! I'm so disappointed.

Please remove me from the "test" cohort which I wasn't asked about and would not agree to.

I hate this. It’s impossible to reach the end of a thread without the page reference.

Divastrout · 24/05/2025 22:55

Hello
Is there no way to remove me from this constant scrolling? I really can't engage with it at all. Also yesterday I had the pages and today I am back to this constant scrolling

AnSolas · 25/04/2025 12:09

@JoMumsnet will do any i will try up date u in a dsy or 2

JoMumsnet · 25/04/2025 11:44

Hi @AnSolas thanks so much for your detailed reply - we appreciate you taking the time to explain.

This isn't a widespread issue on infinite scroll specifically as far as we know so in the first instance can we suggest that you clear your cookies to see if that resolves the problem. We can see that you were removed from the infinite scroll test group so it's likely that this is a cookie issue.

Do please let us know how you get on. Thanks in advance.

Justnot · 24/04/2025 22:50

I don’t always log in, just read on website - if I log in I get 25 posts per page, if I don’t endless scrolling

I hate it and not happy it’s forcing me to log in

Lral · 24/04/2025 18:00

Im generally a fan of an endless scroll on websites, but there needs to be a jump to the bottom (like there is a jump to the top button) it’s an absolute pain in the ass, having to scroll, wait for it to load, then it jumps back up the page for some reason and then back down, I want a take me to the latest posts type button. (And no bookmark won’t work as sometimes it’s for threads I’ve just opened and I just want to read the latest)

@AnSolas . Sorry to hear your threads are crashing. Can you tell us any more about this? If you could let us know what device and browser you're using and tell us exactly what you're doing when the thread crashes, that would be helpful. It would also be useful to know which threads in particular this is happening on. Thank you!

Hi
I pm the device and 1 thread i was on yesterday and today and its using google
Pm if you need extra details

Yesterday and I think early this morning I had the page 1-10 etc layout.
But am back in load by clicking the button mode

I am ticked for always logged on

The default display was
first post
Load older post ( LOP )
And some of todays posts

I was
a) just reading back over the thread
Or
b),Trying to post so
Typing in rhe trying to check details and copy and or link to
So reading from the second post onwards.

So I would click LOP and it would open some of the older posts but not all
Continue to click and the screen would add extra posts until the 2nd post appeared or

randomly

  1. white out displaying no posts • do an auto refresh or • I would have to do a manual refresh Or
  2. jump back to the post box and reset to the default display.

I got a couple of blue boxes with messages
But cant remember the text.

And if I needed find a post to copy& paste / link I ended having the same thread opened on two independant tabs/ screens to quote a post.

Both tabs worked and crashed independent of each other.

The refresh would break the quoted posts link to the text input post box

And at one stage with two tabs the cut/copy/paste popup stopped working on one screen but not the other.

Please remove me from the test group too. Thanks

KellyMumsnet · 23/04/2025 12:07

Thanks, everyone. We've added all of you who have asked up until this point to the list to be removed from the group.

Tutorpuzzle · 23/04/2025 06:03

Hello again, please, please remove me from the test group.

Capricornandproud · 22/04/2025 21:22

Pleaseeee remove me from any test groups!!!

Capricornandproud · 22/04/2025 21:21

DREADFUL!!’ If this continues I foresee a mass exodus leaving MN. You may be copying whats in vogue across other internet forums, but you certainly aren’t testing your true demographic if thats the feedback you’re getting.

is this permanent? If it is, my daily visiting to MN will sadly be over.

AnSolas · 22/04/2025 20:00

Fyi MN

I got my old page layout back today but the pages keep crashing

AnSolas · 21/04/2025 20:41

Gurrr....

(And I have not read other posts🤷‍♀️)
Android phone login via the internet

Today the "by page" has been replaced by a scroll which hides older posts and the click option only displays some of the hidden posts.

With the old layout I could click on page X
Eg
Page 12 for posts that were say under 3 days old
Page 34 for posts that were say under 2 days amd
Page 50 onward for current day posts
And guess a page to try find an am/pm post on a given day

The current system has no post number displayed so limited abilty to estimate where an old post may be or find a post number within a thread

So my only option is to click and scroll then click scroll and . ...... through 999 posts

My emoji notification icons dont work they dump me in the middle of the thread and/or go down to the add your message here box.

Chocolateeggsandsugaredalmonds · 21/04/2025 17:49

Please remove me from the test group - I asked on another thread a week or two ago but I’ve still got the stupid continuous thread instead of pages. I hate it

Tutorpuzzle · 21/04/2025 14:25

Hello, please could I ask again to have page numbers put back onto my account? Thank you.

aiskabash · 21/04/2025 14:08

KellyMumsnet · 14/04/2025 12:30

Hi again @aiskabash . Ah, apologies - we hadn't realised you were talking about the app here. The app is and always has been 'infinite scroll'. Pages aren't recognised in the app we're afraid.

But we have taken you out of the test group so if you want to use the main site on your phone rather than the app you'll be able to choose how many pages you want to see in your settings.

Thank you.
