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

Advanced search is not working as it was:- if you search for a name it will bring up the thread that poster has written on, but not the post itself, that may be way down the thread.

What are the new features that this latest code release has brought? I have only noticed the glitches and some new colours and I'm just politely wondering what it is all in aid of.

onebatmother · 02/11/2009 16:24

okay now i look divvy
that was an 'add message' which I assumed would be attached in some way to the post I was adding to which was BoF's...
That'll learn me.

Jux,

There was a huge change to Talk last week and we are just ironing out a few kinks. Please bear with us and once the small things that are broken have been fixed then we will stop tinkering with the live site and create new features ready for another big release.....

FreeTheGuidoOne,

I have seen your post and am sorry to you and everyone that some things are not as they should be. We are working very hard to make your stay on Mumsnet a pleasurable one and are reading all your comments and suggestions. Please keep them coming and we will resolve as many issues as we can as soon as we can.

As for your little list:

Topics and titles still linked in active convos - Fixed

Threads I'm On not working, looks awful, truncated - Fixed

Truncation of names followed by ... - Where is this happening, i will have a look ...

Post and preview buttons moving all over the shop/changing colour - They are sorted now and will stop moving and will remain purple.

Search not working - Is this Advanced search? If so please check it again, because everything seems fine at this end. Also, please be a bit more specific.

Hide not working - Should be working, please let me know if this is still an issue.

Watching not working - Should be working, please check and let me know what part is not working.

Having the thread title twice in bold at the top of the page makes me feel like you think we can't read it the first go through - Fixed, no more double titles.....

I don't like the words instead of the buttons for CAT and reporting etc. - New features require a slight change. Hope this is not an unbearable one...

There are other things I'm sure but I'm wondering if you're sneaking in MN new while we're not looking. - We know you are watching our every move and we would not try a slip something past you.

Please review and get back to me.

Thanks

Jux · 02/11/2009 14:58

Everything you've pointed out there, I agree with.

Please stop messing about with it.

Why can't you have a big change which incorporates all niggly little things, like you did last time? This is ghastly.

FreeTheGuidoOne · 02/11/2009 13:01

I've asked several times, but what IS and ISN'T going to be fixed?

And now the post/preview buttons are purple again.

Please stop messing about with it.

Jux · 02/11/2009 12:26

And now the post/preview buttons have moved AGAIN. Please stop messing with the site, it's getting annoying. I have got used to all your previous changes mainly without complaining, though sometimes letting you know something which isn't working, but this is silly.

Also, I used to be able to click on a topic name (on threads in Active convos) and get straight to the topic. Now I click on it and get to the thread (don't want to go there) and then I can go to the topic.

Please, can we have the old MN back?

BitOfFun · 02/11/2009 12:19

Really? It does on mine. Perhaps I should scour the boards to take umbrage...

AitchTwoToTangOh · 02/11/2009 11:58

fortunately it doesn't work.

BitOfFun · 02/11/2009 11:54

How come we've got "add message" here>> now? Will that not just encourage an irritating new breed of posts which say "I have only read the first fourteen posts and then became so outraged that I had to take noisy issue, even though the point might well have been made several times by the subsequent forty posts which I effectively ignored by clicked on this new-fandangled Add Message button"?

AitchTwoToTangOh · 02/11/2009 11:43

lol, now they've gone over to the far right hand side.

AitchTwoToTangOh · 02/11/2009 11:25

the new one, the one on every post. it's a great idea btw. and weirdly, the post message and preview messages are sometimes by the side of this box and sometimes below, depending on whichever board you're on.

Aha
Thanks aitch for the add a message button tip - you mean the one here>>?
not the one here ^^?

AitchTwoToTangOh · 02/11/2009 10:42

the add message button isn't working, did you know that? and if you're going to have such a teeny box for posts, you might as well put the post and preview boxes back to the side as they were good for cutting down on scrolling i thought.

GreatGooglyMoogly · 02/11/2009 10:40

Threads I'm watching only shows the thread title and not any new posts under it - is that permanent?
