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.

@EmeraldRoulette Glad to hear it seems to have worked this time. Fingers crossed! Just give us a shout here again if you have any further problems with it.

@InvisibleOldHag There does seem to be something odd going on with excluding you from this group. We're really sorry for the inconvenience. We're looking into it now and will pop back whenever we have any more news on it.

Hi again @aiskabash . This is really strange. We've just double checked and you are definitely removed from the test group so shouldn't be seeing the 'infinite scroll' style threads. Can we ask you first to just have a look at your own settings and check they are set at 50 posts per page (or however you like them) and that you've scrolled down and saved that preference? Actually, it might be worth changing the preference on pages per thread, saving, seeing if that works, and then changing the preference back and saving again, just to see if those preferences are working correctly.

If all that seems to be in order, could you send us a screen video? You can email it to [email protected] if you prefer and just mark it 'infinite scroll test group issue'. You can even just use your phone to video it on your computer if that's easier than doing an actual screen video. It would just be useful to see exactly what's happening so we can get it sorted for you.

Thank you!

Morning, everyone. We'll remove anyone who has requested to leave the test group since our last message asap.

If anyone else who's not enjoying having no pages would also like to be taken out of it, just let us know here. We'll only remove you if you expressly ask to leave the test group.

@EmeraldRoulette @Jesss21 @aiskabash and @InvisibleOldHag . We're really sorry you still seem to be on infinite scroll. We have removed you from the group (more than once in some cases) but there seems to be an issue with a small number of users and we need to work out what's going wrong here. We'll make sure you're all removed again today. If it's still a problem tomorrow please let us know and we'll start trying to eliminate things that might be a problem.

Still scrolling…

InvisibleOldHag · 25/03/2025 18:20

@KellyMumsnet - still no pages for me.

I do understand why you try new things but this has made the site unusable for me. There are lots of long running threads (eg in AIBU or Sex and Gender discussions) which are dormant and then updated. This is not always by the OP - for example when there is a development in a legal case, anyone who’s seen it on the news might update. This means you can’t just look at all the OP’s posts to see the latest. You have to scroll to the end to see the update. This takes forever on an 800 post thread and it doesn’t always work, so you end up back at the beginning. As others have said, it’s like reading an e-book as one continuous page numberless PDF. Not good (and sadly for me, it seems not capable of being undone!)

EmeraldRoulette · 25/03/2025 09:52

@KellyMumsnet thank you for sorting this out. So pleased to have pages again!

sutra44 · 24/03/2025 21:07

I really dislike the infinite scrolling, as I'm following the long Peggie v NHS Fife/Upton threads and sometimes want to refer ahead or back which is much easier with page numbers. Please return the option of self-managing my relationship with Mumsnet (by reverting to page numbers).
Thanks

It's fairly awful isn't it. It's definitely putting me off using the app/website.

AuntyAgony · 23/03/2025 14:42

Ahh I was wondering why MN was suddenly such a pain to use. I've stopped reading long threads now because I can't seem to get to the end anymore.

@KellyMumsnet Can I be removed from the test group too please? I like mumsnet but have used it a lot less since the change.

EmeraldRoulette · 23/03/2025 12:11

I've given up

must be time to break the habit

Jesss21 · 23/03/2025 10:57

Jesss21 · 20/03/2025 11:58

I still haven't been taken out of the group.

Still waiting...this is my 3rd time requesting to be put out of test group...

Paul2023 · 21/03/2025 23:01

Im hating this format, I’d like the 25 posts per page back.
If I’m on a test list can I please be removed from it, it’s very difficult for me to use.

SilverBlue4 · 21/03/2025 18:54

I had to make a new account because my old.one wouldn't let me post (suddenly my username wasn't allowed and it also wouldn't let me change it)Please can I be taken out of the test group - I really really want page numbers back. Thank you.

EmeraldRoulette · 21/03/2025 18:48

I emailed MN

they replied asking for a detailed description of what's happening

I had a nightmare work day so only just saw the email.

so the "help" people don't know the test is going on

Sleeeeep · 21/03/2025 14:59

Please can I be taken out of the test group. I prefer pages.

Happiestathome · 20/03/2025 23:05

I have no pages and dislike not having them. If I can have them back, that would be great please.

EmeraldRoulette · 20/03/2025 22:20

argh

I'm going to need something to replace my MN habit.

perhaps it will be good for us all! But I just want to have a little chat board activity before bed and now I can't.

InvisibleOldHag · 20/03/2025 17:50

@KellyMumsnet I’m still in the test group.

EmeraldRoulette · 20/03/2025 15:58

@KellyMumsnet I think someone fixed it as I had page numbers at lunchtime and now they've gone again. What's happening please?

Jesss21 · 20/03/2025 11:58

KellyMumsnet · 19/03/2025 10:34

Anyone who asked to be removed before my post yesterday should have now been taken out of the group. Please let us know if that hasn't happened.

@LuckyLerwick We'll check your status now and make sure you're not in the group.

We'll remove anyone else who has asked since then asap.

I still haven't been taken out of the group.

@KellyMumsnet I am still scrolling despite asking a few days ago to be removed from the test group

dontcallmelen · 19/03/2025 14:57

@KellyMumsnet hello I’m not sure what’s going on, my format completely changed whilst I was browsing this morning, no box with active threads on the right hand side of screen, individual posts are not within a box (no separation between posts/posters) no indication of a quote within a post, PM button blacked out if I’ve been put in some testing group could you please remove me & restore the format it’s barely useable & very difficult to read, I’m on iPad with safari thank you.

EmeraldRoulette · 19/03/2025 13:34

@KellyMumsnet hasn't been done for me
logged out and in again, no change

logging out gives you page numbers back though!

thanks
