Why aren't threads opening on most recent post

I haven't changed my settings but now when I open a thread I'm on it takes me to an older post than I've read. It used to take me to the most recent. What's happening?

@MoominUnderWater - no you aren't doing anything wrong. Bookmarks are not working for me (see my post at just after 8 this morning) and many others on the thread.

Did you ever get your bookmark issue sorted? Mine seem to have stopped working since the update - takes me to the last post on the page the bookmark is on, rather than the bookmarked post.

Cantseetreesforthewood · 24/09/2025 12:42

This has just started happening to me.
Not noticed it before yesterday.

INeedAnotherName · 23/09/2025 20:02

I've only noticed this problem the past week, probably since they implemented the awful post colours. Beyond annoying :/

MoominUnderWater · 23/09/2025 19:49

Still not fixed.

NoWordForFluffy · 22/09/2025 19:05

It's so annoying. The OP is now in the blue which MNHQ used to be in. I quite liked choosing my own colours TBH. It all looks very bright now. 😩

RaraRachael · 22/09/2025 17:49

I don't see what's complicated about it. There are so many issues but instead of sorting these, we've got hideous new colours foisted upon us.
But apparently those were chosen in the survey that nobody knew about 🙄

On another thread mumsnet said

  • We are currently working on the problem with not landing in the right place on the thread when you click back. It’s a complicated issue, so it’s taking a little while to fix - but we are on it.

I can't handle the new colours so I think I'll have to post a lot less anyhow.

RaraRachael · 19/09/2025 19:48

I just click on bookmark an it takes me back to that post so it sounds like something isn't working on your page.

MoominUnderWater · 19/09/2025 19:39

So I’ve just tried bookmarking for the first time and bookmarked the last message. Went out the thread and then returned to it and it took me to the first page rather than the comment I bookmarked. Am I using it right and it’s just not working? Or am I meant to click on something to do with bookmarks?

LindorDoubleChoc · 19/09/2025 11:12

Sorry, yes, I meant 100 posts per page not thread. I honestly don't think I could stand to adjust to 25 posts per page! The threads I get invested in and want to return to are often very long. And often I want to find an old post of mine too, and Advanced Search is useless for that now.

I just don't understand why MN are working on updates, when functions which helped with navigation on such a vast site are just no longer working! 😡

RaraRachael · 19/09/2025 09:25

LindorDoubleChoc · 19/09/2025 08:19

I've just been through a number of threads "I'm On" and deliberately added bookmarks at the post I'd like to return to. Then left the threads. Then opened them up again. None of the bookmarks worked. I am generally returned to the end of the first page of the thread, I have my settings at 100 posts per thread.

I'm having to bookmark everything too. Mine generally works fine but I'm only viewing 25 posts per page.

MN nowadays is such a PITA to navigate

I have had the issue with not being able to delete a quoted name for a while now too.

When I opened this thread just now it took me back to where I last was perfectly. How strange

That hasn't happened for me for so long I forgot it used to!!

So I have a question. If you quite a poster. Where do YOU end up after?

I wish you went back to ggd past you quotes, but I dint. I just end up as the last post in the thread & have to use the date/time on the pist I quoted to find mh place in the thread.

so annoying.

but could be irrelevant, because unless they change it back I won't be on here, it's headache inducing.

MoominUnderWater · 19/09/2025 06:03

Doesn’t even open on the right page when you’ve added a message. I can post, reopen the thread a minute later and it will take me to a random page in the middle of the thread even when my message is the last message

LindorDoubleChoc · 18/09/2025 20:30

It seems tech have been spending their time on fiddling about with the colours instead of trying to solve a functionality issue. How bizarre this all is, I am genuinely non-plussed .

Thatsrhesummeroverthen · 16/09/2025 15:17

Yes I'm getting the "return to the top" when I've been scrolling through active threads too.

whitecarmcr · 16/09/2025 15:16

@BeckyAMumsnet
@BellaMumsnet @HebeMumsnet @JoMumsnet @LilyMumsnet

Can someone please explain why this is taking so long? If it's not going to be fixed you should tell us!

MarvellousMonsters · 14/09/2025 07:52

This is still happening for me, on the app, on my phone. It’s so annoying and means I’m losing track of replies etc.

Thatsrhesummeroverthen · 13/09/2025 11:47

I mean, I keep using as I'm ridiculously over invested in Mumsnet. However newer users won't find it attractive at all will they? Far more likely to just give up and go elsewhere

TheHillsIsLonely · 13/09/2025 11:41

whitecarmcr · 13/09/2025 07:57

Anyone else get the feeling Mumsnet aren't going to fix this?

Yes. There has also been no reply from MNHQ to my question, here and on the other Site Stuff threads, asking whether the loss of several basic functions including this one is related to the ads overload and increasing MNHQ's revenue. At this point it seems like we are stuck with the loss of basic functions, the ads overload and the sexualised, sexist, misogynist ads usually aimed at men.

whitecarmcr · 13/09/2025 07:57

Anyone else get the feeling Mumsnet aren't going to fix this?

Yes.

It's interesting that nobody from MNHQ had commented on any recent complaints

In the beginning they said they'd been noted and were working on them but that's stopped now.
There are so many issues with it now.

MoominUnderWater · 13/09/2025 08:01

whitecarmcr · 13/09/2025 07:57

Anyone else get the feeling Mumsnet aren't going to fix this?

Totally.

i can read an entire multi page thread, comment on it. And then it takes me back to the thread on a page in the middle even though I’ve just commented on it! Seems crazy this is so unfixable.
