Option to see 25 posts per page has gone.

Please can I have pages back? It’s unusable for me without them.

Trying to catch up on a long thread in Telly Addicts, it keeps throwing me back to the top of the page. Having pages is much easier to navigate, and helps me avoid reading any spoilers!

It is really not on that no warning was given to this “trial.”

I'm obviously in this test group too, so remove me. And I had to scroll down for ages before I got to the message box.

This reminds of the shit managers pull at work regarding new ways or systems put in place to improve how we work. It doesn't improve how we work, we're working our arses off just fine thanks if you would only leave us alone. It's just more stressful shit we have to learn and put up with, and it's sprung on us without any heads up. Note that the managers introducing these procedures don't actually have any need to use them themselves.

This type of stuff is often done by people who haven't got enough to do and are trying to justify their salaries mixed up with a bit of "hmmmm how can we really piss off people this month".

It's utterly arrogant and selfish. Put it back to how it was immediately.

Please give me my page numbers back. I can’t get on without them, I keep forgetting to bookmark posts and I don’t really want to learn a new way of using the site as the old one worked fine for me.

Hi MNHQ, can this be sorted, please? I'm still waiting to have the Pages view restored.

I am struggling with this 🙈 I would appreciate having the page numbers back please

I wasn’t in the test group but would not like to lose the page numbers.

I’ve always had mine set at 100 posts per page, could you just add the new format to the list of page length options so users can choose for themselves?

I’d like to be removed from the test group please. As noted above, I find one single page for an entire thread to be really unpleasant to read.

Can I please be removed from the test group also? Finding it really disorienting!

Can I have the pages back too please

Please put the pages back for me. I don't like the change at all. I don't want to be in a test group that doesn't have pages

This change is horrible! I log in, I want to go to the most recent posts on a thread I’m following, and I have to scroll for three hours first to get to the bottom of the thread? No thank you!! With the 25 posts per page, I can immediately go to the last page on the thread and find the last post.

Also, I can re-find specific posts by remembering which page they were on - with all possibly 1000 posts on a single page, I can’t possibly find a specific post unless I, once again, scroll for three hours.

This is a terrible, terrible update.

Has anyone actually liked this change?

MN seemed a bit confused yesterday as to why anyone wouldn’t like this new option, so I hope they’ve listened carefully to the feedback that has been given.

I thank my lucky stars I wasn’t in the test group and if they make this change permanent, I hope that we also have the choice to view it in pages format instead.

Can I be removed from the test group, please? I’m on an iPad and find the site unusable as it is. And could I please not be used as a guinea pig in future without being asked first?

Absolutely hate this change. Bring back pages please! Please remove me from the test group.

@SueMumsnet please can you remove me from the test group too?

Just out of curiosity, how have you selected the people in the test group? Just a random selection or any common denominators? For example, I subscribed to Premium at the old higher price when COVID broke out for a few years, I no longer subscribe though- completely cynically, I can't help but wonder if Mumsnet are wondering if a 'carrot' of being able to choose pages Vs endless scroll as a Premium option may tempt back previous subscribers?

I know it is horribly cynical, but you are a business 🤷‍♀️

Glad to have pages back - thank you

Thanks for removing me!

@SueMumsnet Could you remove me from the test group please? Thanks

Thank you for removing me from the test group!

FWIW, I think it would be better to ask people in advance if they want to be included in the test groups for stuff like this. I don't want to be part of them in future.

I was not aware of the save post function tbh, yes that functions similarly to the one I was thinking of.

@BeckyAMumsnet @SueMumsnet I am also having the issue with the thread taking me to the first post even though I've bookmarked the latest post on a long thread.

With regards to the bookmarks option, other forums have a bookmark option that allows you to save all bookmarked posts. Here you can only bookmark one post at a time. Bookmark a newer post and it removes the original bookmark.

@SueMumsnet & @BeckyAMumsnet can I please have my pages back now, this new way is very irritating!

Can I please be removed from the test group too? When I wrote my last message the newest messages weren't there so I didn't see that as an option
