It's lonely here with no-one to talk to, so I might get up to mischief !

I no longer seem to have a way of deleting any of the threads I am watching and all apart from one show the last poster to be Nahla although she is only the last poster on one of the threads.

GunpowderTreasonAndDragons · 03/11/2009 12:58

I'm failing to see any positives of these changes

SmallSCREAMCap · 03/11/2009 12:53

Just tried an advanced search on thread titles & when I click on the thread titles within the search results it takes me to the topic page filled with latest topics, rather than the threads themselves...

Just checking, franch - you're using MN Classic, right?

franch · 03/11/2009 11:13

It's driving me mad Helen! And I really can't use the site properly! I'll keep checking back to see if it's sorted ....

Just noticed QueenThistle is supposedly the author of just about ALL the latest posts on the threads I'm watching - ?!

franch: don't go! We do know about this one - and it's on BigTech's list to fix ASAP

franch · 03/11/2009 10:54

Someone's probably mentioned this but on the "Threads I'm watching" page, there is no longer a 'bump and reset' option. This means I only get a list of thread titles, and details of the most recent poster - rather than the first line of all the posts since I last clicked 'bump and reset'. So I can't see which threads have had new activity since I was last online.

Very frustrating and I'm mainly staying away till this is sorted ....

MamaG · 03/11/2009 10:48

Yes it does. But perhaps shorter usernames wouldbe more sensible

MNHQ
HelenMumsnet · 03/11/2009 10:42

MamaG, I think that's so you can see the whole name, if it's too long to display completely on the thread.

So, if you were to namechange to MamaGWonderingAboutTheBlueBox, your nickname would come up on threads as MamaGWonderingAb (or summat similar) but when you hovered over that, you'd be able to see MamaGWonderingAboutTheBlueBox.

Does that make (some kind of) sense?

MamaG · 03/11/2009 07:56

I have a Q

Why does a poster's name float about in a blue box when you hover cursor over their name? Please disscuss

MNHQ
OliviaMumsnet · 02/11/2009 22:20

Maybe BigTech is expecting people to be dissing each other?

Will add to TOP of list for correction.

Jux · 02/11/2009 18:58

BigTech is a techie. That means such literate stuff is beneath his notice. He is on a higher level than such as we.

ShutUpandDrinkYourGin · 02/11/2009 18:30

i'm going to be properly pernickety and point out that when you hover your mouse over the 'add message' a little thing comes up that says 'add a message to this disscussion'

that extra 's' in discussion hurts me just a little bit

pinkteddy · 02/11/2009 18:25

Tech - still can't delete anything in 'threads I'm watching'

thanks

BoysAreLikeDogs · 02/11/2009 18:03

eyetunes · 02/11/2009 17:59

BoysAreLikeDogs · 02/11/2009 17:48

eyetunes · 02/11/2009 17:48

yes, it works, thanks.!

eyetunes · 02/11/2009 17:47

oh yes, i see! I did wonder why they were in bold too. will click on yours now and see if i get anything. thanks.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 02/11/2009 17:40

eyetunes those names that are underlined have profiles I believe

HTH

Deadworm · 02/11/2009 17:39

Ah. Thanks Tech. So it was for backstage reasons. That is good. I can handle changes that are needed for technical purposes.

MNHQ
BigTech · 02/11/2009 17:34

Deadworm,

These changes were necessary to fix all layout problems across IE and iPhone and to re-code the whole of Talk so that the tech team can navigate the template files on the server alot easier than before. Therefore, being able to fix and tinker easier.

Sorry there were a few teething problems but once it is done everyone (especially me) will be a lot happier.

I am here to help so please let me know if there is anything else you would like me to take a look at.

I am signing off for today and will pick this up in the morning.

Good night all

eyetunes · 02/11/2009 17:28

has nobody got a 'profile' anymore? They don't seem to be on view on my computer

ReneRusso · 02/11/2009 17:19

Threads I'm on looks much better today. Much tidier.

FreeTheGuidoOne · 02/11/2009 17:14

Thank you BigTech. You're doing very well.

Sorry I wasn't being more specific. Other people had been more specific about the problems so didn't want to run on. Most is fixed now, but...

Advanced search. When you click on a thread in the search results it doesn't take you to that thread but to that topic. So if the thread was 'isn't David Mitchell just beautiful' in 'sleb twaddle', clicking on the thread doesn't take me to a wonderful analysis of just why he is the perfect man, it takes me to the sleb twaddle topic with a load of rubbish about some footballer who looks like a potato having a baby named kai or all things. You can see my frustration, yes?

And name truncation, when the poster's name is above a certain number of characters, instead of the full name displaying above their post you get partofnamebutwithbi... instead. I think this is normal in MN new but I'm in classic and it doesn't usually happen.
