We've just done a new code release and there are a few issuettes - we'll work through them.

Do refresh your pages though - that gets rid of most of the problems (though not all).

OK, another piece of constructive criticism ie telling you things you already know...

In active convos, am fairly sure the Topic link and thread link were distinct, so you could link straight to the topic IYSWIM. Now the topic title is underlined along with thread title and so you can only go straight to the thread. Not a major issue but since I LIVE in active convos, and sometimes used topic titles to go to more info in a particular area, I used this. It may just be something you haven't tinkered with yet, or something you have deliberately changed. Just wanted to point it out...

woo last poster's back for me

still have too much blue on threads though (mc/safari/classic/sober)

JackBauWooohooohoowaaer · 29/10/2009 12:00

I don't like that the add mesage/contact poster is not in the blue bar, it overlaps slightly and looks messy as others ahve said.
And I liked the 'last poster' thing, I can't remember times or no of messages very easily and used it loads, could it be an option?

Also I am on MN classic but my links aren't changing colour after i click on them.

BecauseImWorthIt · 29/10/2009 11:29

I agree with VW. I didn't realise how important it was to me to see the name of the last poster, but it is. I'd like it back please! Otherwise, all looks good to me - clear and easy to read.

(Use IE and Classic)

MrsVik · 29/10/2009 11:26

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet - I am on Google Chrome, no idea which version of mumsnet I am using - joined a couple of months ago and never changed anything, so whatever the default is...

Problem for me is that it doesn't register when I have read a thread. Normally unread thread titles are in blue, then change to purple once read. At the moment everything's gone back to being blue and it stays that way no matter if I re-read a thread or not.

witcheseve · 29/10/2009 11:04

You can still see the time a thread was last posted on to tell if anyone else has chipped in. I prefer it without the name, less stalkerish, but that's just me.

Looks like the a name is underlined if a profile is set up and not, if not.

VulpusinaWilfsuit · 29/10/2009 10:54

Actually not being able to see last poster in active convos is a bit awkward, as I've realised that's how I tell if the thread has been updated. I can't click on EVERY thing, and nor can I be arsed to remember how many messages there were... so unless you will have some other way of showing that a thread has been recently updated, we need last poster name back please.

Hollyoaks · 29/10/2009 10:44

they're

Hollyoaks · 29/10/2009 10:39

Ok, now their back

Hollyoaks · 29/10/2009 10:39

The threads 'I'm on' have disappeared! Refreshing is not working.

VulpusinaWilfsuit · 29/10/2009 10:38

PS some posters' names are underlined in their messages, some not: is that deliberate?

VulpusinaWilfsuit · 29/10/2009 10:37

Thanks for improving the site. I am not finding too many problems - Firefox 3.0 but about to upgrade that. I think I was in classic but not sure! Don't like the overlap of 'add message' etc into blue bar, looks messy. Preferred symbols. Last message posting name has disappeared from my active convos. Font appears less squashed now.

reallywoundup · 29/10/2009 10:34

for "big back end change"- should we read " arse, its all gone wrong"?

i can't cope with it for now- can you update us on facebook when its been sorted?

MiniMilk0610 · 29/10/2009 10:32

My main "issuettes" are the huge white spaces at top of page, where threads don't start until adverts have finished - took me a while to work out that Mumsnet hadn't just broken completely!!

& when I go to the threads I'm watching, it doesn't show any posts underneath the title on them - so they all look as if they haven't been active for ages when in fact most of them do have new posts on them

plus the random '3' at the bottom of each page of a thread is quite annoying!!

Internet Explorer, no idea if new or classic but only joined this year & not changed settings or anything so guessing new maybe...?

JustScreamMumsnet · 29/10/2009 10:31

Relax, breathe. The reason for all this pain is that we've done a big back-end change to fix lots of display errors on IE, to make MN work better on an iphone and to generally make it simpler to fix things.
But because MN is complicated (not many sites offer 4 different versions) it's broken a few things in the process. But they are not intentional changes, and we'll get things back to the way they were. It might just take a few days.

We're starting on fixing search first this morning.

reallywoundup · 29/10/2009 10:21

still not fixed [incredulous] have you noticed hq, how many people are still using classic- does that tell you something, we cannot cope with change bring back proper mumsnet none of this modern malarky pleeeaaassseeee

cocolepew · 29/10/2009 10:16

Oh so they are, holly I never realised that. I'm off shopping and I just know it will all be fine when I get back

glares

DutchOma · 29/10/2009 10:15

Is there no way we can do 'system restore' and have it back the way it was before 6 o'clock yesterday?
I'm using internet explorer7(?) and MN classic

Hollyoaks · 29/10/2009 10:12

Why do the threads you've visited stay blue? It's much easier when theres a colour change.

MN New, IE

cocolepew · 29/10/2009 10:02

....and cocos logging in problems..

BloodRedTulips · 29/10/2009 10:02

have just realised, i'm IE8 actually... forgot we upgraded!

JustineMumsnet · 29/10/2009 10:01

Thanks to everyone who's listed an issuette - we'll crack onto today with fixing them and once we're done hopefully we'll get to that biscuit emoticon.

Now it's flashing up in the right place and then falling down again.

You tease.

ClaireDeLoon · 29/10/2009 09:51

Same as coclepew, on new on IE (and I sit wondering why it hasn't loaded too).
