Home layout changed

My homepage layout is absolutely massive now, I've looked for another thread but there was only one from May where the screenshots look like what I have now! It's just so big and hard to navigate, you can only see 2 or 3 posts without scrolling as the beginning of the posts are taking up the screen.
Has anyone else got this recently??

Mine changed yesterday and I HATE it. So hard to use, it's awful 😫

Yes, please change it back - I much preferred the layout with 6 threads featured, where you refreshed and got another 6, etc. It was much easier to manage.

Agree. Problem is it looks like it is designed for a computer screen- I, and I expect the majority, use a phone- and it is unusable as the images are too big.

Ooh interesting. Mine hasn’t changed at all.

@mumsnet if this is a test group can i please be removed. It’s horrible to try to navigate

It's all ad-driven. What it was before worked really well for us, but from MN's point of view it wasn't driving enough traffic to advertisers, so they fixed what wasn't broken, unfortunately.

Really spoils the user experience 😞

I don't understand why they are imposing all these awful, unnecessary changes on us.
It's almost as though MN want to make the site as unuser friendly as possible.

Another vote against the new layout!!

Nopeasinapasty · 10/10/2025 22:16

It's terrible! It's showing photos in the thread preview but with all the massive ads now I can't tell what's an ad and what's a thread. After all the complaints a few weeks ago, mumsnet really haven't learnt any lessons about user testing before roll out. The fact that it's changed for some and not others makes me wonder if they are a/b testing, if so can we ask to be removed from the test group?

Arrgghhh! And now it's back to returning to the top of the page on active and refreshing the posts so I can't keep track of where I am! Hate it!!!

WildGeece · 10/10/2025 22:14

Mine too. I can't work it out.

SixSeven · 10/10/2025 21:59

Another vote for pleeeease make it stop.

ScarilyClose · 10/10/2025 21:57

Oh..mine hasn't changed! Please don't tell me it's about to 😬 I've only just recovered from the dazzling eyestrain caused by the last change!

meala · 10/10/2025 21:56

It’s awful!!!

Winky2024 · 10/10/2025 17:14

It’s changed in the last hour. It looks really weird and it’s horrible! Trending is no longer in the middle which I loved - it’s difficult to read now. Please change it back!
