Why aren't threads opening on most recent post

117 replies

whitecarmcr · 15/06/2025 20:21

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?

OP posts:
RaraRachael · 10/09/2025 18:35

I'm still having to bookmark the last post I read otherwise goodness knows where the thread would ope up.

Still getting random words underlined as well.

I don't think MNHQ bother any more

MferMonsterSearchingForRedemption · 10/09/2025 18:24

Long threads are opening on random pages in the middle for me.

Raera · 10/09/2025 17:38

I'm also having the back to the top of the list issue as above

RaraRachael · 09/09/2025 11:03

Today's fresh hell -
Scrolling through Active threads, stop to read a thread, list takes me back to the top of the list every single time so ages wasted scrolling back through titles I've already seen.
Also why is there "Draft saved" popping up when I'm typing a thread? I don't want my drafts saved.

@mnhq when are all these issues going to be sorted out. There are loads of them and nothing seems to be improving. In fact there are even more annoying ones happening.

I used to love idly using MN - now I can barely be bothered.

RaraRachael · 31/08/2025 16:23

The adverts are bloody annoying. They've started freezing anx I can't scroll past them for ages.
Also I've found another annoying new feature. The message "draft saved" has appeared when I'm typing a message then once posted it's still in the box. I don't want drafts saved just as I don't want all the new "features".

I just don't feel as if anything is being done about any of this rubbish.

TheHillsIsLonely · 31/08/2025 15:26

I would really like MNHQ to answer the following questions and honestly please:

Is this loss of functions issue anything to do with the adverts? Is MNHQ or someone getting more revenue from all the additional clicks we are having to do and pages we are having to visit? Is the failure to fix the issue for over 11 weeks anything to do with the ads and/or revenue? If not, why exactly have the issues still not been fixed for what now amounts to a quarter of a year?

@BeckyAMumsnet @BellaMumsnet @HebeMumsnet @JoMumsnet @LilyMumsnet

TIA

Thatsrhesummeroverthen · 31/08/2025 14:40

Yeah it's still happening and still as irritating!

MoominUnderWater · 31/08/2025 14:33

3 months now. Absolutely bonkers.

Morning, everyone. We're afraid there's no news as yet but just wanted to let you know we are still working on this and it hasn't been forgotten. We'll let you know once there's any useful update.

Thanks. Doesn't give the impression that either mumsnet or its vendor considers this issue a high priority bug. Any insight on that?

OP posts:
RaraRachael · 11/08/2025 16:28

Sorry for being thick but can't MNHQ just undo whatever changes were made in these "updates" that have made the site virtually unusable?

CrossPurposes · 10/08/2025 10:07

This site is almost unusable because of this issue.

SwedishEdith · 09/08/2025 13:55

There's a thread in Active Conversations ATM with no replies and the OP is 09:50. That doesn't make any sense.

LindorDoubleChoc · 09/08/2025 12:54

I'm not going to let it lie!

RaraRachael · 09/08/2025 07:44

Very annoyed there seems to be radio silence on these issues from MNHQ.

Now I've a new annoying feature started a couple of days ago - random words getting underlined when I'm typing a message.
Anyone else got this?

Agreed this bug must be doing more for mumsnet than the issues caused for us. They've probably hidden the thread too! 😁@mnhq

OP posts:
NoWordForFluffy · 08/08/2025 20:00

I think they've put it in the 'too hard, fuck it bucket'.

MoominUnderWater · 08/08/2025 16:12

Guess it’s not getting fixed then, they’ve stopped even bothering replying 🤷‍♀️

TheHillsIsLonely · 05/08/2025 12:35

This has all been going on for about 2 months now, as it started some time before the OP created this thread. I can only think that they've got a maintenance man with a hammer and nails trying to fix it or someone who usually just makes the coffee.

Either that or they are not doing anything at all about it because it is tied up with the advertising revenue situation.

It has got to the point now of being embarrassing for MN and frankly ridiculous, and is demonstrating little to no regard for the loyal users of the site.

Come on @mnhq
This bug effects all of us. It can't be being treated with much urgency!

OP posts:
MoominUnderWater · 05/08/2025 06:44

It makes such a massive difference to the site. On the day it changed someone must surely have fiddled with some settings…..can’t it just be put back?

Thatsrhesummeroverthen · 04/08/2025 23:50

Clearly it's not anywhere near being fixed!
why is it so hard? Since it always worked before.

LindorDoubleChoc · 31/07/2025 14:14

Another week has gone by. Any news @HebeMumsnet ?

MoominUnderWater · 23/07/2025 13:38

HebeMumsnet · 23/07/2025 12:19

Thanks for your patience with this. We are still working on it. To help us find a solution to some of the other issues mentioned here ( @NoWordForFluffy , @LindorDoubleChoc, @WitcheryDivine and others), could we ask a few questions?

On the 'see next' problem:

  • What device are you using and model e.g. iphone16.
  • Browser e.g. chrome.
  • Does 'see next' not work on every thread you try it on or does it work on some threads and not others?
  • If it's only some threads, please share an example thread link where it is happening.
  • What happens when you click 'see next' - nothing? or does it direct you to another place on the thread?

Advanced search:

  • What device are you using and model e.g. iphone16.
  • Browser e.g. chrome.
  • Does it happen on every result you click on or does it happen intermittently?
  • When you click on the AS result, where are you taken to on the thread e.g. bottom of the first page, a post by you on another page, or does it take you to a different place each time?
  • Do you have any bookmarks on the threads that you are being directed to via AS

On the 'see next' problem:

  • What device are you using and model e.g. iphone16.
  • Browser e.g. chrome.
  • Does 'see next' not work on every thread you try it on or does it work on some threads and not others?
  • If it's only some threads, please share an example thread link where it is happening.
  • What happens when you click 'see next' - nothing? or does it direct you to another place on the thread?

OK - I don't know what "see next" is. Never heard of it.

The problem I have is on "threads I'm on". I click on a thread from my list and it used to take me to the point in the thread which I last viewed. Now it will take me to a point in the thread 3 pages away from where I last viewed. So I have to scroll for ages to get to the point I last saw the tread.

Happens on every device. Iphone 16 chrome, ipad safari, 2 different laptops on chrome and Edge.

Happens on every thread

I do not use AS and I don't use Bookmarks.
