AIBU to think local pages on mumsnet aren't so great

Largely because there's not alot of traffic?
I moved to a new area and met all my friends through Netmums - not one on mumsnet despite using the local pages - no one ever replied.
Why is this? Why do mumsnetters not use the pages?

OK, just tried to upload some local Christmas events. It's a right faff. Then typed in all the details and got "access denied!" Confused Maybe THAT'S why nobody posts any listings on there?! It's too bloody hard! Netmums is just a simple form and a comment on what the place you are adding is about. Then voila, you're done! Not sure what 'access denied' is supposed to mean. MNHQ? Any light? So much for that, might as well stay on the national boards! Grin or letting netmums know the local goings on instead Grin

Most of the points raised on the thread have been answered in one way or another, but the 'access denied' message is worrying! Jelly, could you pm me with which device and web browser you were using so tech can try and recreate the problem?

Because the threads no longer appear in active convo's. I swear they used to pop up every so often.

Now I have to click across to a different site to look at my mumsnet local and I always forget.

If HQ could bring local active convo's back within the main active convo's then I'd use it a bit more often.

Hi Meglet,
You're absolutely right and bringing this back is on Tech's list of must dos. It shouldn't be too long now.

As has been mentioned, there are links from mobile Mumsnet to Local Talk and Local site home pages via 'Sections' and 'Talk' buttons, but we take your points about navigating back to Mumsnet Talk from Local Talk. We've got a plan, so thanks for the feedback!

We do also need to improve the app when it comes to Local. Mumsnet Local is on there, but currently there are too many topics to scroll through. We're working on it.
