to think these forums could do with a bit of a revamp

[clevercloggs]

and some nice new features

such as go to last post read instead of trawling all through to find the last one you read

a "new" or "read" icon next to threads you have already seen

or do they already have them and i havent found them yet

its all a bit 1990s isnt it - something like digital spy layout would be nice

The first rule of mumsnet is don't. Criticise.mumsnet.

To go to the last post you've read, click on "Customise" at the top of the page and then enable "Bookmarks". When you reach the end of the thread or a point at which you want to leave the thread, just click on the little blue bookmark button in the bottom right hand corner of the post and wait until it's saved.

Threads I've viewed show as a different colour in the threads list from those I've not looked at.

Digital Spy is hideous. It gets on my tits every time I use it.

You click bookmark at the end of the last post you've read and next time you open the thread it takes you to it.

And threads change colour when you've read them.

Dude, pay attention!

humpf

I would love for the OPs posts to have a different coloured banner behind the name on a thread so you can skip past everyones comments to what is going on !

You can do that from the Customise menu, Mankymummymoo.

Oh my god. So you can. im such a dunce!

Nope, you're stuck with sludge green.

For goodness sake - no more innovations please!

Some of us haven't mastered texting yet and the Twitter feed just about gives me a mental hernia.

i like it as it is

wooo! Thanks for the bookmarks tip!

Yeah, thanks for highlighting this I have now learnt how to bookmark and how to highlight OPs comments. So useful!!!

when i go to customise it takes me to change the way mumsnet looks, blue, dark blue, different colour links

where the hell is bookmark????

Found it

If you muck it up with a lot of fancy shite, it's going to load much slower. One of the reasons I love mumsnet is that it's rather austere and it doesn't make make me motion-sick to look at it.

As evidenced above, most of the features people are asking for are already here...as long as you know where to find them

oh is that what the bookmark thingy is for! OF course it makes sense now when you think about it but I never worked it out

OP - YABU - you don't like, go somewhere else.

Clevercloggs - maybe once you have been here for more than 48 hours you will work out how to use some of these features

Thanks folks much easier with the bookmark thingy

Why does the bookmark thing only work in new. I hate the mumsnet 'new' layout!

oh, does it? :(
I mean, I've never used it but I might have wanted to but I'm not switching from Classic just to use it.

Do love the option to highlight the OP's posts though, even if the colour has gone a bit murky recently (twas better before).

Well I have just switched to new & can't see a bookmark button anywhere....hmmm

Any tips for using mumsnet on the mobile version. Does bookmark still work?

It's an iPod with iPhone tech
