Watched threads disappeared after Mumsnet change. Anyone else?

What's happened to Mumsnet? It's changed format and most of my watched threads have disappeared! Anyone else noticed that? It also prompted me to log in which it doesn't usually as I'm always logged in on this device. It's the watched threads that I'm miffed about though!

I've lost about 5 of my watched threads but the others are still there. It seems very random - not based on most recent posts or anything. Seems to be due to the new update/style. Hoping they'll sort the hiccups soon

I saved an old thread from 2018 in which a MNer posted some valuable information that I needed.

Although the thread was then dormant I still kept it as a "watched" thread so that I could periodically refer back to the information.

Unfortunately this thread has now vanished .

So annoying!!

If you go on the browser then you can see your watched stuff. I’m not liking it now at all though! I’ve had to delete the app as it was so annoying

I can see Last Hour on the right hand side of the list of 'Active', 'I'm on' etc.

Glad it's not just me this has happened too (you know what I mean!). Don't like this new style at all.

@Fedupsotired - I'm not sure what is meant by go on the browser as I'm technologically illiterate! Using a chromebook at the moment and it's always just logged in so was a surprise when it prompted me to log in today. Thankfully my password is stored as otherwise I wouldn't have been able to log in as I don't remember it!

What the heck happened overnight? The app is buggered too, it appears to be showing a load of threads from 2017 in the active list, wont bookmark anything, and nothing in the watched threads.

It's become completely unusable.

I have an ad blockers so there are huge blank gaps where the ads should be. Complete waste of space!

It's taken me 30 minutes to get on ffs. Always stay logged on but had to start from scratch and try and work out what they wanted me to do. Get getting a twee Ooops message - very annoying.

UggyPow · 20/04/2022 14:39

Mine are gone as well & the 100 threads on a page so you don’t have to constantly load 😫

namechangeanonymous · 20/04/2022 14:54

Seems they've figured out a way to put more spammy adverts on though, reminds me of when they rolled out the premium with their hands out for money at the start of the pandemic, a lot less user friendly so far and I don't think I'll be spending so much time on here.

Hate the new layout.

Why would you rely on any website that was free to store something that you feel was important? You could easily have copied the information to your own device and saved it there.

If you go into your settings under 'My Mumsnet' there's an option to change how many posts you can see on a thread - I was so annoyed by constantly having to click on a new page!

But no, I hate the new layout. Text is massive so I'm constantly scrolling down the page, there are already LOADS of zombie threads because no one can see how old the thread is and losing the option to click on 'see all posts' is going to mean a massive surge in people not RTFT and advising cancelling the cheque... I'm sure there must be positives to the changes, but I'm not seeing them yet.

Glittertwins · 20/04/2022 20:26

I had to change my password to reply to a thread, I’ve lost all my watched stuff and can’t go back to threads I am on. The iPad app wont update anything despite various topics being updated either.

Glitterbiscuits · 20/04/2022 20:44

The App is unusable.

Nothing saved in Watched or I’m On.

can watch threads or hide them.

And the same old posts showing

ButtockUp · 20/04/2022 21:39

I feel like I'm missing out.
I had to log on and was expecting the new format that everyone's on about.

It's exactly the same as before!

mrsrhodgilbert · 20/04/2022 22:17

I didn’t realise this was a new format, I thought it was broken. It’s awful and looks so old fashioned

CambsAlways · 20/04/2022 22:21

Sadly I absolutely hate it! No where near as good as it was before! Just horrible

Glittertwins · 21/04/2022 05:19

I eventually managed to log back into the app on my phone and I can see everything again. Despite me not actually changing the password, I still can't use the app on the iPad.
