Have any old timers swopped from scrolling the whole lot from top to bottom to PAGES?

One long thread here too - BLOSS - go to 'customise talk board' in the menu at the top.

Bottom to top for me all on one page.

Anyting else is just wrong

LazyLinePainterJane · 13/06/2008 14:38

All on one page here, top to bottom.

Amapoleon · 13/06/2008 14:21

No I am set in my ways! If it's long I flip it.

CantSleepWontSleep · 13/06/2008 14:18

No way. Bottom to top all in one go, the way I've always had it.

I've never used Pages - always hated thme when I cam e across them on other web sites and changed immediately to "Mumsnet Classic" - most recent first.

I persisted with pages for weeks - not wishing to seem inflexible and unable to move with the times, but I was really irritated by fast moving threads - if you read them from newest first the pages would keep re-paginating and post would move page and it was very confusing.

At last I admitted defeat and reverted. It is soooooooo much better scrolling up and down

DonDons · 13/06/2008 13:57

fair point!

SlightlyMadSweet · 13/06/2008 13:53

Yeah but then "threads I'm wacthing" would get like my email inbox....1000+ threads/messages

woodenchair · 13/06/2008 13:50

Thank god for this thread. I've hated pages since for ages, didn't know you could get rid of them. I've even resorted to logging out to get rid of them. Didn't know there was an option

DarrellRivers · 13/06/2008 13:50

mumsnet classic all the way
God, the pages debacle still gives me nightmares

No

SMS "It is a bit annoying when I revist threads which I have red half of as I would like to see the bit I havn't read first IYSWIM."

Click on 'watch this thread' then go to 'threads I'm watching' when you want to revisit a thread. This will take you back to the point you have read up to before...

(took me 18 months to find this )

zippitippitoes · 13/06/2008 13:44

no i have classic..when people talk about npages is the only time i recall there there was that awful changeover

fullmoonfiend · 13/06/2008 13:43

old-fogey style here too!

WenchConnection · 13/06/2008 13:41

I suspect they use pages for some kind of money saving reason, less trouble for their servers?

Klaw · 13/06/2008 13:40

I need to have pages cos otherwise the whole lot takes FOREVER to load on my system.

My pages come up with most recent post at the top

BouncingTurtle · 13/06/2008 13:40

I prefer the old style, reading bottom to top.
How long do you need to be a member to be classed as an old timer?

SlightlyMadSweet · 13/06/2008 13:39

I do still have 1 big long thread (i.e. no pages) but I do now have oldest post first so I can read top to bottom.

It is a bit annoying when I revist threads which I have red half of as I would like to see the bit I havn't read first IYSWIM.

It is also annoying when someone says "soandso said xyz below" when it is actually above for me.

BUt on balance I prefer top to bottom cos that is just sensible.....you don't find the Mail writing their articles bottom t top do you????

WenchConnection · 13/06/2008 13:38

I use mumsnet classic, and read from bottom to top due to habit, but it's so much easier to 'flip'?

Crying with laughter Quattro, that was genius.

nickytwotimes · 13/06/2008 13:35

Don't thin kI'd count as an old-timer (been here about 16 mths) but to have the threads any other way than scrolling from most recent down is just wrong.
