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

I hate this new format - I hope they change it again/go back to the old style

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.

Yes, this is most annoying for me too. I guess, as others have said, it's to make it look better on a phone. However, if on a phone or iPad surely it's easier to use the app instead?

The purple has returned. Yay.

Cornettoninja · 20/04/2022 10:36

The auto correct on my phone is a bit dodgy now - I have to be careful about capitalisations and punctuation now! 😪

Theresamagicalplace · 20/04/2022 10:38

When I go back to active by pressing back on the browser not clicking active it refreshes now 😭. Used to be able to just go back if there were multiple interesting threads and now I can't bloody find them because it auto refreshes. The rest I can't take or leave but that bugs me a lot!

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 20/04/2022 10:39

Ok! I worked that out… maybe I’ll Bear with it a little longer. I do like the little texty formatting box I guess. That definitely makes it a little easier for an old fossil like me some.

TheChippendenSpook · 20/04/2022 10:41

I like how I can now use the bookmark function on the mobile browser. It keeps logging me out though.

I would like the posts in active to go bold once you've read them, that would make it easier.

MerchSwyddEfrog · 20/04/2022 10:44

There is no link to the board I’m on at the bottom of the page so I have to scroll all the way back to the top to click on it. I also miss the last and first page buttons.

Plumbear2 · 20/04/2022 10:45

It highlights threads I've read again. 🤗

vodkaredbullgirl · 20/04/2022 10:46

😠

Waspie · 20/04/2022 10:48

If I go onto "Active" the first 5 rows are blank. Is it supposed to look like this?

I think they hired the team that designed the current FB interface.

😥

Blossomtoes · 20/04/2022 10:58

I miss the last 15 minutes function. 😥

Do you mean the whole thread on one page? Click on the arrow in the circle on the right-hand side of the screen, just above where the first post appears. Click on customise and it should allow you select number of posts per page or all.

I'm on a tablet so hope this works on a desktop.

Showit · 20/04/2022 11:05

Not sure I like it. A bit big and now I've had to change my user name. Guess we'll have to get on with it. It's not gonna change back as prob cost loads to change it!
Prob won't be on here as much though so can't be a bad thing.

LittlePennow · 20/04/2022 11:05

Extremely annoying! Just spent a good ten mins typing a post on my phone over sleeping ill baby on a different thread only to get a big black box over labelled Mumsnet Oops, preventing me from typing anything further!!! So irritating.

Neverendingdust · 20/04/2022 11:07

I don’t like this 😩😭 it’s bloody awful.

Neverendingdust · 20/04/2022 11:09

And with such a big change WHY is there not a like button for comments you agree with?!?

TrickorTreacle · 20/04/2022 11:10

I think the new layout is better, easier on the eye.

However, the width of the forum now only takes up around one-thirds of my screen, so that it's narrower. It's like looking at an old HTML4 site from the late 1990s that hasn't been tweaked for wider displays such as 1920x1080.

The width of a web page should ideally be scaled accordingly to the screen resolution of the device that it is being displayed on.

I'm on the desktop and don't see an arrow in a circle

Are the vast empty spaces on my laptop screen supposed to be populated with adverts? Is this a future joy to come I wonder.
