The formatting has all changed, making it really hard to read. Is it just me?

This is hideous - who the hell approved it? Appalling layout and doesn't meet accessibility standards for starters - surely this must be a beta version and they're going to launch the improved version later??

Fulmine · 20/04/2022 08:18

It's great that it's so much easier to use bold and italics and you can actually see them as you type.

beastlyslumber · 20/04/2022 08:20

So you get a notification, e.g, there have been 2 new comments on this thread, and you click it, it takes you to the start of the thread. So if you want to see the new comments, you then have to click to the end, and scroll backwards... Wtf have they done that for? It worked fine as it was before, now it's unusuable.

MN have never heard the saying, if it's not broke, don't fix it?

PaulineScrambledPhones · 20/04/2022 08:20

Anyone else had the privacy consent pop up for every new page? Very frustrating!

MistyGreenAndBlue · 20/04/2022 08:24

Anyone found a way to get rid of the OP being posted at the top of each page?.
Now that WILL annoy me.
And no, I don't want to change it to "see all posts"
Not unless I REALLY have to.

Branleuse · 20/04/2022 08:25

I hate it on my phone. Might take some getting used to

LannieDuck · 20/04/2022 08:28

Ugh, it's awful. Smaller font, and the posts take up barely half of my window. Clearly optimised for mobile users (although they also don't seem happy by the comments).

nokidshere · 20/04/2022 08:30

I can’t post on the app at all and I have no ‘I’m on’ threads. 😩

Topseyt123 · 20/04/2022 08:32

I can't get back in under my old username. I guess I'll either have to use this one or just not come on here very much anymore.

PurpleToeNail · 20/04/2022 08:33

Why are my comments the same colour as the OP? That doesn't make sense.

Have you been signed out? I was.

BedknobsNoBroomsticks · 20/04/2022 08:33

It's awful.

If it's not broke don't fix it comes to mind.

TabithaTittlemouse · 20/04/2022 08:34

When they did a big change last time we could choose to see it in the old format.
Now we are forced into wankiness.

I was also signed out. Took me a while to log back in as couldn't remember my password.

ChateauxNeufDePoop · 20/04/2022 08:36

I can't see the option to view 100 posts per page any more - has that option been removed?

Stripey3000 · 20/04/2022 08:36

It's really annoying to not be able to tell which posts I've already read 😣I think that might be enough to put me off using this unfortunately.

SirChenjins · 20/04/2022 08:38

trying it on my iphone

so

much

scrolling

C’mon MN - this is bloody awful 😂

Ignore - changed it in my account settings!

JuliaSways · 20/04/2022 08:41

I like it. I imagine there will be a few teething problems for the user, but once we have got used to it we will soon forget the old style, clunky and non-user friendly board.

Well done MNHQ! A much needed update

CrapBucket · 20/04/2022 08:41

I'm still getting used to it. Glad to see MN emojis have survived the move Glitterball

AnyFucker · 20/04/2022 08:41

You’ll get used to it.

mooselooseaboothoose · 20/04/2022 08:42

laptop has half the page blank. Looks like nethuns

ReadyToMoveIt · 20/04/2022 08:42

Certainly the push I needed to spend less time on MN!

TurquoiseSwirl · 20/04/2022 08:43

I really don’t like it!!

HeadacheGrey · 20/04/2022 08:43

As well as the ‘I’m on’ and ‘watching’ pages being erased on the app, I also can’t post any replies.
