What's with the new layout??

Totally new layout on my Mumsnet page this morning, and I had to sign in. Now it all looks completely different. Anyone else?

I hate it. Although on the plus side perhaps I’ll waste less of my life scrolling through threads on here

I hope MORE people make threads about it so they consider changing it back. I guess the one upside to this is that I’ll spend far less time on the internet because this layout is literally headache inducing

I can't see them changing it back, although they'll obviously sort out the glitches. There have been many changes over the years and lots of moaning about every single one of them 😬

Hmm it’s not too bad I think. Feels a bit snappier on my phone. Just wish it was a bit more compacted, both the active threads page, and the threads themselves.

ooh look, new smilies!😯although I kinda miss the old ones already 😶

Interested in this thread?

Then you might like threads about this subject:

Oh and the old colour coding on the threads has gone, seeing your own posts in pink was quite useful.

RaraRachael · 20/04/2022 18:43

I don't like it at all. There was nothing wrong with it so why change it?

Iwantitidontwantit · 20/04/2022 18:54

I looked on site stuff this morning and they've already implemented things mentioned, threads you've read being a different colour and being able to close images once you've opened them. I don't love the new layout but they are listening to things that need changing

You can reset that, go to your account, then settings then there’s another settings option on the left hand side and it’s in there, go for dark violet, the pink blush barely makes a difference.

It doesn’t even “remember” regular members - I have to log in every single time I access the damn site! Not sure I can be bothered, frankly, and I used to visit multiple times a day.

Me too and I absolutely hate that. I don't like the look of it either, I didn't mind it the way it was before. So much wasted space!

NurseBernard · 20/04/2022 19:08

OMG the whinging about this change, and the endless thread starting.

It’s just a website people.

In another week, you’ll be used to it.

Fifiesta · 20/04/2022 19:08

I much preferred the old layout, much more user friendly.

Guaranteed havoc.

This nesting quotes thing is hideous.

ElenaSt · 20/04/2022 19:10

I was unable to make any posts or reply so have had to put the app on my phone in order to type anything!

It looks like a website layout from around fifteen years ago such is the dated design!

pussycatlickinglollyices · 20/04/2022 19:10

At least you can read stuff without an advert for a shit coat you won't buy covering the OP.

upinaballoon · 20/04/2022 19:11

It told me that someone else has my e-mail address already - well, yes, so I'll go away and waste time some other way.__

Redland12 · 20/04/2022 19:11

No!!!!!! I don’t like it either 😩

bellac11 · 20/04/2022 19:12

TeenPlusCat · 20/04/2022 18:06

See? It is very clever.Grin

Testing this to see what it looks like hopefuly this will make it possible to follow a conversation for once

IDidntKnowItWasAParty · 20/04/2022 19:15

What is with this new layout!?!? I HATE it 😫

Presumaby that's you, if you don't know your password have you tried a reset? You don't need to re-register which it sounds like you might be doing

Absolutely hideous 😖

balalake · 20/04/2022 19:19

Like the layout. Clearer, I can even read it without glasses.

bellac11 · 20/04/2022 19:37

Everytime I go into this thread now, my own post is sometimes not visible, sometimes is, sometimes posts have moved around onto different pages.

givethatbabyaname · 20/04/2022 19:41

The quote nesting is why I don’t go on Reddit 😡

Saisissant · 20/04/2022 19:47

I really dislike it.
I liked the style it was before.
Won't be using mumsnet anymore, which will save me a lot of time.

Lampzade · 20/04/2022 19:51

Not a fan of this new layout tbh.

ZeppelinTits · 20/04/2022 19:57

It's horrendous, I really dislike it and it's putting me off using the site. Have been here since 2008 or something but this is just a bit pants.
