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?

Bookmark still isn't working for me either. I'm still being taken to the oldest posts page or a random page in the middle of the thread on threads I'm on and from notifications. When I submit a post it still also takes me back to the oldest page.

Is this increasing advertising revenue for MN as we are all having to do at least twice as many clicks? Perhaps there isn't any motivation to fix it if so. You have to wonder given the length of time it is taking to fix it.

Advertising has really been ramped up on the site recently with the accept or pay gatekeeping pop up, and all the ads surrounding the pages, especially the highly annoying, distracting and headache inducing flashing ads.

I don't ever bookmark so don't expect it's connected to that

Don’t know if this is part of the same thing, but when I open a previously read and bookmarked thread, it takes me to the last post of the thread. So I have to scroll back up to find out where I’ve read to. Annoying.

This is happening with me too if I forget to bookmark

I've just noticed the Accept ads and cookies' thing today.
That is annoying enough jn itself but doubly so as this previous issue hasn't been resolved

Pretty sure it's this which has borked everything else.

'See next' on the OP's posts isn't working; I keep getting taken to the top of the page instead of my bookmark (and it keeps refreshing and taking me back there when I'm scrolling down to find my place); and it all just keeps freezing / jamming so I can't move anywhere! I'm sure there are other glitches too.

TheHillsIsLonely · 03/07/2025 12:31

These issues have been going on for some time now. My patience is wearing out, especially now we are being subjected to the new giant 'accept ads & cookies or pay to subscribe' pop up before we can access the site. There was apparently time to do that to us but not to fix these issues.

Hi all, thank you for your patience while we work on a fix for this. We will update you as soon as we can.

RaraRachael · 02/07/2025 22:40

Thought this would have been fixed by now but no, still endless bookmarking of every bloody page.

MoominUnderWater · 02/07/2025 21:02

This still isn’t fixed and is making the site very hard to use. No updates? @BeckyAMumsnet do you know what’s happening please.

Halsall · 26/06/2025 14:39

For a couple of blessed days @whitecarmcr’s suggested work-round did the trick for me. Then it stopped.

I’m beyond sick of it now.

TheHillsIsLonely · 26/06/2025 13:33

To add, after I hit post on my pp I was taken right back to the start of the thread again. I had to click again to go to the end of the thread to see if it had posted ok!

Somebody has been faffing and fiddling about behind the scenes and royally cocked MN up. Hmm

TheHillsIsLonely · 26/06/2025 13:26

Bookmark still isn't reliably working for me so I can't even do that as a temporary fix.

I'm still being taken back to the start of threads or to some random place in the middle, rather than to the latest posts, bookmarked posts or the post of mine or the OP notifications would usually take me to.

After all this time I'm beginning to wonder if MNHQ get more revenue for all these extra clicks we are having to do...

It is annoying and off-putting.

ExtensivelyDecorating · 26/06/2025 11:03

Yes, it seems to be intermittent for me but it is annoying

LindorDoubleChoc · 26/06/2025 11:01

11 days and counting ...

RaraRachael · 25/06/2025 15:54

Any chance this can be sorted soon?

It's so time consuming having to bookmark every single thread I look at because it won't refresh.

When I open a TIO I am always taken to the first page of the thread, rather than the newest post

Same, still doing it.

Hi @whitecarmcr, thank you for sharing this additional info, this is really helpful. We are looking into this at the moment and will post here as soon as we have an update on a fix for this. In the meantime, we really appreciate your patience while we work on it.

Thanks also for flagging the issue with deleting tags. To delete username tags, you can only do this by using the 'bin' icon in the text editor, however please note that this deletes all of the text in the text box, not just the username.

@mnhq I've discovered the problem is caused by something to do with the MN Watching and IO functions. If I open a thread from Active or the Talk titles at the top of the page the thread opens normally and correctly.

@BeckyAMumsnet@BellaMumsnet @JoMumsnet @LilyMumsnet

As aside note there's also an issue with being able to delete tagged names which is why Becky has been tagged twice.

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

I've also discovered a work around by clicking on the Topic titles in Watching and IO and then choosing the updated thread.

Me too

RaraRachael · 20/06/2025 18:39

Same happening with me - Chrome on laptop and mobile.
Used to be some threads but now happens on every one.

Sick and tired of having to bookmark every single page

MoominUnderWater · 20/06/2025 18:33

Doing it on my iPhone in safari as well and on my laptop.
