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.

KellyMumsnet · 11/06/2025 10:32

We've added you to the list @Serendipity77

KellyMumsnet · 04/06/2025 11:08

We've removed everyone who has requested it up to this point.

LivMumsnet · 31/05/2025 16:24

Afternoon everyone - thanks to everyone who has given feedback. Anyone who has asked to be removed from the test group up until this post, we've noted this down and hopefully this will be sorted next week. Thanks in advance for your patience with this.

KellyMumsnet · 28/05/2025 10:38

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

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.

KellyMumsnet · 23/04/2025 12:09

@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!

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.

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.

KellyMumsnet · 14/04/2025 10:41

Morning, everyone. We've got a list of everyone who has asked to be removed since we last posted and we'll get you taken off as soon as possible.

@aiskabash Can we ask if you're still on the infinite scrolling as far as you can tell? We've removed you from the test group more than once but it sounds like you're still there. We have had this difficulty with a couple of users but have got there in the end. Let us know how it is for you now and we'll take another look if necessary. Thanks for your patience.

KellyMumsnet · 26/03/2025 10:14

@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.

KellyMumsnet · 26/03/2025 10:12

@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.

KellyMumsnet · 26/03/2025 10:11

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!

KellyMumsnet · 24/03/2025 10:47

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.

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.

KellyMumsnet · 17/03/2025 10:48

Morning, everyone. Just a note to say that we'll be removing everyone else who has asked to leave the test group asap. If anyone else would like to be removed just let us know here.

KellyMumsnet · 12/03/2025 09:30

@Doveytail @Screamingabdabz and @Waystation - we'll get you removed from the test group, too.

BeckyAMumsnet · 11/03/2025 14:23

Hi all - thanks for posting. We'll remove you from the test group ASAP.

SueMumsnet · 09/03/2025 15:11

Wallywobbles · 09/03/2025 10:11

Would it be possible to be able to bookmark more than one post? So you can flag all the posts that interest you? And then have a "this is where I got to" type bookmark.

hi @Wallywobbles there's a "save" button in the 3 dots menu on the top right hand corner of each post - does this do what you'd like it to do? It allows you to save posts in a list - and then bookmark just marks where you're upto on a thread. All a bit hidden and we can look at that - but just wondering if it does what you'd like it to do or not quite?

TheSuperbOwl · 08/03/2025 08:26

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.

Hey @TheSuperbOwl I understand it’s annoying for you but I can 100% assure you there’s no one at MNHQ who hasn’t got enough to do or is trying to justify their salary by pissing people off. As I’ve said, there are many good reasons why we’re testing this out, but I get that it’s not for everyone and so we will have an option to turn it off if we do roll it out.

btw you can jump to the reply box at any time by hitting the “add post” button that appears on every post.

SueMumsnet · 08/03/2025 14:09

We will get anyone who’s asked to be removed taken out of the test group as soon as we can. Thanks for feedback and sorry for annoyance. Lots of people find it an easier way to read threads but I understand it’s not for everyone and so, as I’ve said above, if we do roll it out, we’ll have a way for you to switch it off in settings.

SueMumsnet · 08/03/2025 14:05

LuckyLerwick · 07/03/2025 18:14

@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 🤷‍♀️

Hi @LuckyLerwick it’s done on a random basis. It has nothing to do with your Premium status.

NebulousDogWhistleIsReality · 07/03/2025 12:30

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!

Also @NebulousDogWhistleIsReality can I just ask you something? Have you ever used the "save post" feature on Mumsnet? It's in the 3 dots on every post. Does that do what you say can be done on other forums? Or are you talking about something different? Would be really helpful to know...

SueMumsnet · 07/03/2025 14:46

NebulousDogWhistleIsReality · 07/03/2025 13:19

@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.

Hi - that's helpful to know thanks. Yes will get you removed from the test group asap. Thanks for feedback.

This endless pageless scrolling is actual madness. I thought it was a glitch, not an actual feature.

Far too much scrolling to get to the reply box.

No actual way to know where you are in a thread or ability to get back to a post you might want to quote. Just endless scrolling.

Very disorientating.

You might want to read up on why Amazon added location, page numbers and timer to end of chapter/book.

Hi @Onlycoffee - thanks for feedback - really useful. Just to say, you don't need to keep scrolling to get to the reply box - if you hit "add post" on any post, it'll take you straight to the reply box. Taking into account all your other feedback as well though, thanks for posting.

SueMumsnet · 07/03/2025 08:02

andyouwillknowusbythetrailofdead · 06/03/2025 19:28

One of the ideas behind it is that it'll lead to fewer people posting irrelevant crap

What a lovely way to speak about your users, without whom there would be no MN.

Hey - if you read the post of mine you've quoted here you'll see that I was using the language of the person I was quoting. Thanks.
