No.

Here is the screen shot of what I see. I navigate to my pages through "threads I'm on"

One screenshot shows all my threads - and the one I'm running. No clue as to total just how many new posts.

Second thread shows where it goes when I click (to my point in the thread presumably) again no idea of how many posts.

Where do I see how many pits there are and when do I need to start a new thread (I used to post a new thread when it got to the last page!)

I know you didn’t ask me, but I’d like to explain what I usually do when I’m reading certain threads, as it’s impossible with this all posts all at once thing.

I tend to post on threads that I’m really interested in, and very often a poster will write something so eloquently and in a way that makes me think (sometimes it’s my own post that I feel proud of writing 😂), and I like to go back to reread and process it (I’m autistic, it can take a while to thoroughly process something), so for example I’m currently on a schools thread that’s very close to home (in a mental sense, not geographical!), and I find reading some different opinions several times, and in relation to replies (good or bad) and how the conversation goes, it helps me to develop a better understanding of the subject, of where other posters are coming from, and points me in certain directions to learn more about it.

I do this by knowing where certain posts are and going to the page number to find them again, as often as I need/want to.

I can’t do this now, and it’s frustrating, and it means my MN experience is now lacking. Not wanting to sound manipulative at all, but the change is really difficult to deal with, and not being able to go back to specific pages is really stressing me out!

It really doesn’t make it easier to read the whole thread.

This is the reason I don’t use the app.

Incidentally, mine are still showing in 25 post pages. Is this just a trial for a few users?

I haven’t ever bookmarked before because never needed to but I could try it. For example I’m reading a thread on the tv board where people comment as they watch but I’m behind so I don’t want to see the end posts and see spoilers, I want to get to the middle. I would usually remember which page number I was on and easily get back to it

I quite like seeing if a thread is long or not before jumping in. I don't want to start a 9page one if I only have a few minutes.

I also run a thread - how will I know when I need to start another one as I won't see that were on the final page.

Thanks that is helpful. I do still prefer the pages option though. I want to get to the middle of a thread with hundreds of posts so either way it’s a lot of scrolling

I really dislike not having pages as I like to see how many posts there are before deciding to read the whole thread or just the OP’s posts. If there are lots of posts and I am short of time or patience I can just read the OP’ posts with replies.
In my settings recently I tried it without pages and very quickly changed it back again.
Please bring the pages back.

It’s awful. If it’s a thread with hundreds of replies I don’t want to scroll through them all each time I go on that thread. For example the tv threads which follow along. It’s massively unusable. My phone also refreshes after a while (possibly my phones issue) and it takes me right back to the first post. Which after spending a good few minutes scrolling and scrolling to get to where I need to be is really frustrating. It’s genuinely unusable at the moment unless it’s a thread without many posts. Please change it back. Or just have both options so everyone’s happy?

The main reason I have used 50 posts per page for years was that I read MN using data instead of wifi a lot and full threads were too slow to load but it was very frustrating once we could no longer toggle to show all posts in order to use the browser search in a thread. The new thing hasn't kicked in for me yet but should that work better from the loading point of view?

It is going g to lead to WAY more "cancel the cheque" followed by EVEN MORE "RTFT"

Utterly pointless. So what is your thought process here? Did you consult users? An answer if "we'd prefer everyone pays so are making it diffucult" would also be ok

Got to agree, it's rubbish and makes threads difficult to read.

I was just coming on to say that I use bookmarking, but that it’s not working as it still brings the page up to a previous “load more posts” point, not at the post I bookmarked.

Please please can it go back to normal!

Really annoying is my feedback - on a thread with lots of posts I like to skip to the last post to see what's the latest on it. I now can't do that easily.
It's definitely going to lead to even more people posting irrelevant crap without checking for updates or seeing if the thread has moved on.
It's honestly beginning to feel like Mumsnet is actively trying to get rid of us. Which is odd seeing as we make the content.

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?)
