The new Mumsnet

So here it is, what you've all been waiting for (or dreading)... The new look Mumsnet; still no tickers, but lots of fabulous new content and a splendid new look (right?).

Don't forget that to get the best of the new look talk you need to click the Customize link at the top of Talk and change colour scheme to "Mumsnet New".

We're well aware of various minor glitches that we will fix over the next day or two. There are a few duff links around and a few pages that still need updating. But all the big stuff works so dive in and feel free to comment on the problems you find.

Right that's it I'm off to bed for a couple of hours, knock yourselves out.

oh scrap by second comment that seems to be coming up now

nappyaddict · 30/01/2009 20:11

Please can we have that show all link that would automatically expand all the topics that you said we could have? Pretty purleaseeeee.

Oh and also can you show the date/time and poster of the last post on a thread when we look on active convos etc.

Where have all the Threads I'm watching gone?

Some were quite important to me

JustKeepSwimming · 30/01/2009 18:18

Hmm, so they are.
may give the sober scheme a try out for an hour (maybe)...

mileniwmffalcon · 30/01/2009 18:15

the summaries are still there on the sober scheme

JustKeepSwimming · 30/01/2009 18:12

I really am trying

Have given up on classic and am using MN new. but not doing pages - not really sure how to change anyway.

Want to be able to tell more easily when i've clicked on a thread or post too but seen that mentioned already.

And the moon is just plain weird!

jujumaman · 30/01/2009 18:00

Agree totally - not having the summary on threads I'm on and threads I'm watching makes the site no fun to navigate any more. One line from the convo does not give you a flavour of the thread and you lose the desire to join in.

RubberDuck · 30/01/2009 17:52

Yeah... the whole not being able to see summaries of each reply since on both Threads I'm On and Threads I'm Watching is driving me insane took JustKeepSwimming.

JustKeepSwimming · 30/01/2009 17:28

This depends on how you use MN i suppose but...

When i have threads i'm watching it used to show the last x number of posts (until i pressed reset) so i could see straight away if there had been much chat on that thread. And i wouldn't press reset until i'd posted/caught up.

The reset option is still there but there doesn't seem much point in it as the last x posts aren't shown anyway.
I have to read the tiny text to see if that's my post to see if anyone else has posted yet.

Can this be fixed?

kittywise · 30/01/2009 13:40

Right, how do you unwatch threads now?

You used to be able to 'unwatch' them. I have a list I need to clear and the facility is no longer there to do it

Botbot · 30/01/2009 12:57

Oooh, text no longer squished - must have refreshed without realising. I like it now. Very clean.

RubberDuck · 30/01/2009 12:08

Okay... scrolling down to see new additions to threads I'm on every time you open up the thread is really really REALLY starting to annoy me now.

Really.

Really really.

CountessDracula · 30/01/2009 12:07

If this were software I had rolled out so full of bugs I must confess I would be considering rolling back...

mistlethrush · 30/01/2009 12:05

Since when has customise been spelt with a 'z'. I will learn to cope with the other changes but that is just wrong... If you're going to use a z in that you may as well change it to Mumznet...

RubberDuck · 30/01/2009 12:03

Search dropdown box at the top (the one where you can choose Mumsnet, Mumsnet Talk or Google) - the label is truncated to Sea. (Firefox for Mac)

Dalrymps · 30/01/2009 12:02

All the threads I was 'watching' have gone

I can't set new ones either.

HELP

2shoes · 30/01/2009 12:01

thanks hunker...I have lost the white bits now

Maclaren · 30/01/2009 12:00

Hi Just to ket you know in feedback and for sale the opening posts are missing - Which means in for sale anyone who has posted something for sale you cant actually see what it is!

RubberDuck · 30/01/2009 11:59

Mumsnet blogs also seem to be broken - you get to a summary page but when you try to click through to one in particular you get a page not found error.

RubberDuck · 30/01/2009 11:57

The mumsnet latest links on the right sends you through to the Toddler Mumsnet book when you click on the link to Feb's book of the month. I know you're really trying to push the mumsnet guides, but that's a bit ridiculous

hunkermunker · 30/01/2009 11:49

I know, Squonk! Someone's not thought this through!

ExtraFancy · 30/01/2009 11:48

KashaSarrasin you are having the same problem as me and Piratecat. No idea how to solve it other than making the font extra tiny, which is pointless as then I can't read it!

None of the other websites I use have this problem

mileniwmffalcon · 30/01/2009 11:47

aah my style is "sober" maybe the problem was with that. right now it looks exactly the same as classic (hence the visited link thing and why i picked it last time they changed stuff i now remember).

i can just imagine how much work this must be - chin up tech, think how well-earned those beers tonight are gonna feel and thanks.

TinySocks · 30/01/2009 11:41

All I am interested in is the SPECIAL NEEDS section, I have to scroll through so much just to get to it.

I have gone to into Customize, and chose to change to the standard look, I saved changed, but it still looks the same.

How can I go back the old look please.

mileniwmffalcon · 30/01/2009 11:33

macherie have you got a black and white version or a blue and black and white version? i had a black and white one that looked very wrong, then as if by magic it changed into something that looked as though someone meant it to be that way maybe you've got the glitchy version cos of your os/browser or something?

the one i have now has the issue of visited links being the same colour as active ones but it's just a tiny tweak of the style sheet to fix that, i'm sure it's on its way
