The last couple of days when I look at Active, or any other section (Gardening, Site Stuff etc) every time I come out of a thread it takes me back to the top, so I then have to scroll past all the threads I've read to get back to where I was. It's very annoying, could you fix it please? Grin I'm on an Android phone, using the desktop site.

The Blue is horrible and the pink is absolutely vile!
Just fix the problems please!

I'm just going to keep bumping this until it's sorted. It's so frustrating.

Ihateslugs · 19/09/2025 22:22

This happened to me a couple of years ago and Mumsnet suggested that I swiped right instead of hitting the active button. This has worked until recently, like everyone else I now have to scroll through the Active list every time, even when I swipe, it takes me back to the beginning.

I have an iPhone 11 and have tried deleting and reloading the app to no avail.

I do hope it can get sorted soon.

Yes, hugely irritating. Plus it is much less obvious which are whose posts without the colouring.
Who thought these changes up?!

@MNHQ any chance of a response to this?

@MNHQ doesn't exist.

This is happening to me too, Safari on iPhone. Also the new blue is awful, too bright.

ILoveLukeAlderton · 19/09/2025 08:32

That blue is incredibly off-putting, why the hell did it need to be changed when there are actual technical issues to be addressed?

It's been like that for me for months .

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/09/2025 06:37

And I hate the ‘My posts’ and‘original user’ boxes. The colours already do that job.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/09/2025 06:35

I hate the new colours

Howinthehelldidthishappen · 19/09/2025 06:34

And yet you've had time to mess around with and add some really odd colours that are quite jarring to the eye.

I can't believe they've been pissing around changing the bloody colour when they have a highly user-friendly issue like this.. I'm starting to wonder if the MN technical team are also in charge of my local council with their backwards priorities.

Yes I agree! Why on earth is MN putting energy into (horrible) site changes like the nasty blue colour when they should be focussing on fixing issues like what this thread is about and making the site actually usable..

MsAdoraBelleDearheartVonLipwig · 18/09/2025 21:58

Me too. iPhone 15. On app I think. Not safari.

Does it when clicking back to active convo’s. Been doing it for ages.

Deeprug · 18/09/2025 20:18

I think I might be out now as these new colours are really hurting my eyes.

@JoMumsnet @HebeMumsnet perhaps you could stop mucking around with the colours, which people were happy with and sort out the problems that people really have issues with!

This is making MN unusable - it's impossible to find new threads if you just keep getting thrown to the top of the list every time!

JoMumsnet · 18/09/2025 14:15

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay here. We know how frustrating this is and just wanted you to know that we're still working on this issue. Thanks for bearing with us - we'll be back with an update as soon as possible.

DPotter · 18/09/2025 13:29

Any news @MNHQ ? It really is incredibly annoying

Deeprug · 17/09/2025 20:45

Im sick of it too! Might have to read an actual book which is what I want to be doing anyway.

Gladysknightjustwalkinmyshoes · 17/09/2025 19:44

It's doing my head in now!!
I'm now more choosy on what I click on because can't be arsed trying to find the next thread I was going to look at.

Apprenante · 17/09/2025 18:44

Still happening. Come on Mumsnet! Surely you can do better than this?

Ksibeij · 17/09/2025 18:42

It's still doing it! FGS @MNHQ when is this going to get fixed? It was never a problem until recently

Pippadeck · 17/09/2025 15:28

Can't believe this still hasn't been fixed?

Are MN HQ actively trying to get rid of users? If you are, it's very effective!

Cancelthecake · 17/09/2025 11:26

Also, if you are going to ask for feedback on a new homepage, then surely there should be a link to the "new" page? I would imagine that most users go directly to active/their preferred topic/threads they are watching rather than start from the home page. If I go to https://www.mumsnet.com/ it doesn't look anything like a home page and I can't see a link to anything that says "home". Is that just me?

Edited to add that I realise I am derailing the thread, but maybe sort the basic issues out first. We're "forced" to accept all the adverts now, and this includes horribly distracting moving images in the right hand corner but nobody is going to see any of the adverts if you make the site so difficult to use that nobody bothers to come on it anymore.

ILoveLukeAlderton · 17/09/2025 10:51

Agree with @Cancelthecake it feels like the users are way down the list after advertisers and God knows who else these days. The site is dated and doesn't function well with constant glitches and issues, I'm getting really tired of it - I've been here over 20 years but it makes me feel like not bothering when the user experience isn't prioritised.
