Missing pages - can YOU help us track them down?

So, ever since BigTech made his new releases (which incidentally still have a few wee glitches to sort, before you shout) we've noticed that folks are clicking less on all the Talk topic home pages eg this one. In fact you are collectively clicking on those roughly half as much as you used to and we're completely stymied as to why. Don't spose any bright spark out there has any ideas about what might have changed?

(There's a pack of Christmas cards (or three) by way of reward for anyone whose information leads to the discovery of our lost pages...)

Unusual amount of stickies I think leDodgy- we'll get rid of some in a bit.

Maybe it's just me. Everything suddenly seems closer together and smaller. I think I need to go to bed.

ledodgyfireworksingedmyeyebrow · 16/11/2009 23:01

Oh not it's not just site stuff but it looks different I think.

ledodgyfireworksingedmyeyebrow · 16/11/2009 23:00

What have you just done why is active only site stuff. You are scaring me!

Oh and we're going to offer a show all messages option in case you're logged out btw - someone suggested that. But will take a couple of weeks...

whomovedmychocolate I think you might be on to something with search - if you click on topic from search results page you get a talk topic number - rather than name - hmm will check that out with Techs...

feck me this is getting a bit technical- i just wanted to see the bargain nappies topic

Tis somewhat tardy to lose pages btw- Who should we report this to?

whomovedmychocolate · 16/11/2009 22:42

ARRRGH brain dead tonight, meant to say:

It would seem to me that if your readership appears to be falling and is not reflected in decreased registrations and usage of the site general it is a miscalculation problem rather than a usage issue.

But look. Set up a topic for 'artichokes' and I'll go hit it 100 times and then you can see whether you get 100 hits.

THEN I will post a thread in the topic and hit that 100 times and see how many hits you have from that.

Actually here's a thought - when you do a search, the search results now give you a page for every reply to a post - so for example, if you search for the word 'bum' with unlimited dates you will find that every thread that has been recent has multiple listings for each reply whereas the topic pages get one. Not that there is a bum topic - although for a Friday it might be good

I'm confused, is it not because we're all clicking on active convos instead of going to each individual topic ?

whomovedmychocolate · 16/11/2009 22:25

I just realised why my pages are loading so slowly here - you have about four different sources of content per page. That didn't used to be so much. You added Google ads didn't you. hahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahh

SoupDragon · 16/11/2009 22:25

"nad releases" That was an unfortunate typo.

SoupDragon · 16/11/2009 22:24

MP, it's no use trying to appear clever now. You mentioned mitts, shandies nad releases and now you've brought tits and shitters into it.

ledodgyfireworksingedmyeyebrow · 16/11/2009 22:24

That's what I reckon Dideinstein. I have given up after clicking on mumsnet so many times in the last week or so because I just couldnt be bothered waiting that long for it to load. I definately couldn't be bothered with extra faffing with all topics or whatever.

DidEinsteinsMum · 16/11/2009 22:21

Could it just be that because the site has been much slower people are only persisiting with things that will give them a good mix -ie i'm on / watching/ active etc and not having a floating look at possible other topics because the end result has not been worth the utter frustration?

whomovedmychocolate · 16/11/2009 22:20

Do you have a navigational map or anything or a script description for a sample page before and after.

I've never actually tried to see how Mumsnet works before

ledodgyfireworksingedmyeyebrow · 16/11/2009 22:19

I didn't think anyone ever clicked on those pages unless they had something particular to find. I just assumed people click on active and threads im on like I do.

beanieb · 16/11/2009 22:14

I have no idea what you are asking us!
