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

[LapsedTwentysomething]

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.

I hate it too! I thought it was some horrible, underhand attempt to get me to have the app. It all looks the same and is confusing - not enough differentiation between different items on the screen. Let us have the old one back. Now. Please!

When did this happen??!!
Haven't looked at MN for a day or so, came back to it just now and it just looks awful.

Huge banner across the top, just looks kind of unfinished...some student website project that never got past the planning stage!

Yanbu. My biggest issue is the ad that follows me continually at the top of my screen. It's like it's chasing me :-( this is greedy, I get that mn makes money from ads, but this is unusable.

ha ha ha @ I've just eaten an entire tube of pringles in anger

The banners take up too much space.
Why can't I go to active convos easily?
The posting box is to small.

I like the easy bolding and the though.

I like it! It all seems a lot easier to use and clearer to me.

I can't find the 'see whole thread' option?
Also there is no info at the top about where you are in the thread! Can only highlight OPs first post joy subsequent ones.... What a palaver!

Agreed it's very annoying too not have the latest messages previewed in the "threads I'm on" option and be able to jump straight to a message.

AND the first/next/previous/last buttons are right at the bottom of the bloody page so you have to scroll all the way down to jump to the latest page.

CBA with this, too much hassle. Sort it out please MNHQ.

Sorry MNHQ but I don't like it either. The only good thing is it's a little clearer without having to find my glasses.

If you go to customize and set it to see 1000 posts you can see the whole thread.

Hate the top advert and tool bar though. And the glare. And the text.

I have reported thread asking them to please sort it out.

I can't even find where to change from full site to mobile and vice versa as I'd like to see if that made a difference. Always use full site normally as find the text in the mobile one too big already anyway. Waaa.

I thought I'd pressed the wrong button too! Now I don't like the mobile or the desktop version on my tablet. And I could do without all the bloody adverts. Can't we have a choice to keep the old version?

I like the interface, but scrolling takes forever and invariably leaves a white screen and twenty seconds to catch up and those bloody ads. Preferred the old version.
Switched to desktop mode.

hmm, the app, whilst not brilliant, is better than the mobile site and easier than the desktop so I've gone back to that for now. It's a compromise

I do my browsing mostly on my phone so I'm praying now they don't update the app.

Desktop it is from now on, I think

That flashing ad at the top.of the page is doing my fucking head in.

Seriously MN... sort it out.

Most of your traffic must come from people browsing on their phones these days yet your Andriod App is a pile of crap (see my previous thread) and now you'very cocked up the mobile Web version.

FFS.

Are you trying to reduce the number of hits you get?!

How do I flip this thread?!

This is worse than when the supermarket changes aisles around!

Ohh...that's what happened...I blamed the wifi in the coffee shop...
Harrumph.

Hmmm, my eyes are just about getting used to it although I did spend a few seconds thinking WTAF as 'Today's Top Searches : Horse Insurance' filled up half the screen.

I don't go in for customising too much (too lazy ) but I would like to be able to flip the thread like I used to. Anyone know if that's possible?

Just come to have a browse tonight and it's bloody awful! Far too bright looking.

I hate it.

Ye Gods, this isn't good!

If I click to see the threads that I'm on/watching-why oh why oh why would I want to read them all again from page 1??! Please get this sorted or I'm off, mumsnet!!

I have an iphone and the mobile app and I can't see ANY changes at all!

Dear Mumsnet,
I kindly request, on behalf of all of us who do not like it, that you allow the other version to be reinstated.
I can't read this in bed, it is too bright, too busy and not nice.
Am reporting this in the hope you may change your minds... please?
