to think the new MN interface is dire on a phone screen?

See example!

I'm seeing a huge banner across every page and the O2 one is the least intrusive. The bloody sauerkraut one is ridiculous. Posts aren't highlighted. I have to scroll for ages to move down the page as everything is unnecessarily huge. I know everyone moans when an interface changes but this is just clumsy.

Feels distinctly lowbrow.

Grr.

Have you got it on mobile mode.

Sparrowlegs248 · 20/08/2014 19:50

Nope. Yanbu. I was just wondering what the hell had happened. I also get a 'toolbar' (or something) mid screen that blocks bits of text out. Its crap.

PooFlower · 20/08/2014 19:50

It is awful. It is giving me a headache too

YANBU!!!

Racers · 20/08/2014 19:53

YADNBU! Sad

In hate it too. Very big and bright and "in your face". I can't see any colours any more.m to distinguish my posts/Mnhq commenting/op etc.

TwoAndTwoEqualsChaos · 20/08/2014 19:55

How can we highlight posts again?

LapsedTwentysomething · 20/08/2014 19:55

I think I have it in mobile mode. I did before it suddenly changed.

Is everyone else's all one Colour so you can't differentiate between posters?

LapsedTwentysomething · 20/08/2014 19:56

My own post are highlighted but on other threads the OP's aren't. Getting down to the bottom of the screen to move between pages takes forever too. A real pain if you're catching up with a long thread you're already familiar with.

Eurghhhhh mines just done this too!

kali110 · 20/08/2014 19:59

Yes its awful!
I can no longer highlight op's posts, just the first one!
I haven't got the option to go to the top anymore i have to scroll all the way to the top again.
It looks horrible i cant follow things properly, dont think i can be bothered with it now which is a shame.

ICanSeeTheSun · 20/08/2014 19:59

Just switched to mobile and I don't likeAngry

I hate it. The ads at the top seem really intrusive and the bar at the bottom takes up way to much space.

ApplebyMennym · 20/08/2014 20:00

I don't have a problem with it. It's as easy as it was before to highlight OP's posts, flip the thread and bookmark.

You can turn off bar at bottom...

LapsedTwentysomething · 20/08/2014 20:02

Scrolling up ...

I reckon about half of that screen is of interest.

To go to the top, click on the three dots on the post you're on, and click "top". Also in that menu is "customise " where you can turn on highlighting.

eagerbeagle · 20/08/2014 20:02

I hate it! Am off elsewhere *slouches off grumbling under breathe

ChoosandChipsandSealingWax · 20/08/2014 20:02

Agreed, absolutely hate it! Why have all my highlighted options disappeared? Why is half the screen covered in ads and toolbars? Hate it!

LapsedTwentysomething · 20/08/2014 20:03

How do I turn off the bar?

Wetthemogwai · 20/08/2014 20:04

Scroll as far as you can and set it to desktop mode. Mines all back to normal now!

Sunny67 · 20/08/2014 20:05

I hate the new look! I thought my phone had thrown a wobbler when I first saw it. I use my phone side on while on mn as it's easier for me to see it and that's with my specs on but now I've got a huge toolbar at the bottom which takes up so much space. I really hope mn are watching what people think.
Time for wine??

RobinEllacott · 20/08/2014 20:06

YANBU. It's crap. My desktop is looking fine but on my phone (mobile mode) it's unusable. Will just have to limit my MN use when I'm away from home.
