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

It's like
reading a
baby book
with too
little text
per line and
having to
constantly
track down
and scroll to
get through
a sentence.

Maybe this will finally detox me of my unhealthy MN habits...

nokidshere · 20/04/2022 08:43

Hmmm it's not very user friendly so far!

queenrollo · 20/04/2022 08:43

It's awful, for all the reasons eveyone else has already stated.

And they've gone to all this effort but still no option to edit posts!

I'm still here because of a particular long running thread I use, but honestly Mumsnet forum has been so user unfriendly for years and every time they decide to 'upgrade' it they just make it worse and never fix the issues we have raised for the last 15 years or so!

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

Yep definitely

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

Have you been signed out?

I was up with unwell teen and had nothing to scroll. This morning I don’t want to scroll… it’s like we have gone back a decade.

Alwayspaintyournails · 20/04/2022 08:45

HeadacheGrey · 20/04/2022 08:43

Yep definitely

I completely agree.

ssd · 20/04/2022 08:46

Oh thank goodness for this thread, i thought I had broke my phone

JuliaSways · 20/04/2022 08:49

I'm on the mobile view, it's so much better from my perspective. Maybe it's not as good on desktop?

BrownStripePJ · 20/04/2022 08:50

The new design is awful. Especially the vote buttons

ReadyToMoveIt · 20/04/2022 08:52

I’m on mobile view and I hate it

I know people moan every time there is a change, but urgh. I dislike how (on my laptop) the text of the thread only takes up a third of the screen. I have about 3 inches of empty space on the left, then the thread about 4-5 inches wide, then another 6 inches of empty space on the right. I haven't looked on my phone yet.

Yeah. I don't really care about the change or the new look but the wasted space is annoying. Seems like it was built for mobile with no thought to desktop users?

grapewines · 20/04/2022 08:56

The fact that there is no edit button still means there will never be one. Every other forum manages. It's so annoying. But easier font changes and all posts on one page - good.

Cookiecrumble22 · 20/04/2022 08:59

It looks dull.

TrashyPanda · 20/04/2022 09:05

Not a fan

Hi we purposely decided not to change too much with the re-platforming. But now we've done it (once we've fixed the glitches) it should be much easier to add new features and edit is on the list.

Plumbear2 · 20/04/2022 09:08

I should highlight the threads I've read.

IsabelaMadrigal · 20/04/2022 09:09

It's so bad, I can't even scroll through the pages or read all ops responses to find out if my points have already been made, but...
Can't see the last page button to skip to it(useful for lurking when you are not respondingc.
Can't scroll back up text to check or copy text as not very many posts on one page.
No quote poster function .
Seems reluctant to let me paragraph and slow(hence the typos)

Honest to good it's so bad it looks like I designed it! That's not a compliment.

I'm sure it looks fine and dandy if you have a state of the art phone, but as someone who can only afford a cheap android I find that a bit off.

Its so bad im not even editing tbe

ssd · 20/04/2022 09:09

Folk that want an edit button, why dont you use preview?

PoorRhubarb · 20/04/2022 09:10

Why are all my posts green and not just the OPs? 😭

OneTC · 20/04/2022 09:10

Impressive to make it look like even more of a throwback

Also the return key doesn't work properly. If you don't put a full stop or space at end of a line of text then the cursor doesn't move down

gggguuuusssstttt

OK.

Hey, quotes are easier - that's really good.

I miss the "back to top" link at the bottom of the thread. Why get rid of that? It was so handy.

I know you’ve had an answer already but I just wanted to let you know that (on an iPhone at least) you can tap the time at the top of the screen to go back to the top of any web page 🙂

sparkle17 · 20/04/2022 09:12

I really don't like it. The bold font is really harsh.
The large gaps between posts are too big and make reading quickly difficult.

StrawberrySquash · 20/04/2022 09:12

Please, reduce the amount of white space back to what it was before. Everything is horribly spread out now and needs too much scrolling. Because there's so little on a page it's harder to keep track of where you are in the text as you scroll.
