Really don’t like the new Mumsnet updated site, sorry Mum.
The font, the way that posts are being repeated for no apparent reason.
maybe I just hate change,

Jeez, point in case - something just happened and accidentally posted the thread whilst in the middle of writing. Aaargh.

Also, sorry mumsnet, not sorry mum - think that was an autocorrect by me though. Beginning to wish I hadn’t bothered with this thread!

I’ve been around long enough to remember previous changes - and the controversies that ensued 😬😄. We’ll get used to it and I’m sure they’ll iron out the glitches!

RogueBorg · 26/04/2022 17:48

😂 @ “sorry mum”!

WindsweptNotInteresting · 26/04/2022 17:50

I've just given up reading a thread as every post seems to be repeated between 3 and 6 times!

Ducksinthebath · 26/04/2022 17:52

In defence of the new site, as much as I hate it on mobile, it’s much better using a desktop PC. Perhaps it was designed on a desktop and fixes for tablet and mobile will come later?

slashlover · 26/04/2022 18:10

No, it's just you and this isn't the 20th post complaining about it.

Vulpius · 26/04/2022 18:12

I hate it. I hate the nesting thing and the scrolling (joint problems in my wrists make it very difficult). I hate the white space. I want the 'classic' MN back.

All websites should be mobile first and it's built with Bootstrap which is a mobile first framework.

SophieJo · 26/04/2022 18:56

Far more adverts now!

No! I haven't got a phone, and the desktop version is completely shit!

Theunamedcat · 26/04/2022 19:51

I hate accidentally touching an advert and it taking you directly too it any other site its double click! This its try to scroll anywhere in the vicinity and boom

And it's too WHITE do much white spaces

MurmuratingStarling · 26/04/2022 19:51

YABU to post the 157th thread about this in the past 3 or 4 days!

GorgeousLadyofWrestling · 26/04/2022 19:51

It’s awful and a large part of my career was in web dev. What the fuck is with all the white space? All the thread titles are bunched up like they’re horribly left aligned. Maybe I should try the app though to be honest I never really like that either and always preferred the web version on mobile. No longer, I guess!

It's almost unusable on a mobile phone. The size of the ad is proportionally too big for the endless scrolling and it's still asking me to log in every 5 mins.

SpindleInTheWind · 27/04/2022 11:04

I assumed that (a) I'd get used to it, and (b) the glitches would be fixed quickly.

Unfortunately ...

StrangeCondition · 27/04/2022 11:25

The desktop version is worse than the app!

I agree I’m on a tablet and half the screen is greyed out, all that’s on the grey side is the ‘Trending’ at the top and then just a column of Ads. Not a great use of space imo.

user1477249785 · 27/04/2022 11:31

I quite like it. Love the fact that threads I'm watching/on are now organised according to latest updated threads.

tuliplover · 27/04/2022 12:48

Mine looks exactly the same. Though I'm back to getting emails of people who have posted of threads I've posted in which is incredibly annoying.
I don't get ads either, not voting. Maybe I'm special 😌

That’s not a change, though, just a glitch. It will get fixed, why are people so impatient?

emuloc · 27/04/2022 13:57

Too many rubbish adverts. So annoying.

hulahooper2 · 27/04/2022 14:15

Sequence seems to jump about all over the place,

90sBritPop · 27/04/2022 15:28

It is just me finding that my posts and an OP’s posts are the same colour? Both green, so confusing! I swear there used to be a distinction (pink/green) I keep reading posts thinking I never wrote that, oh that’s not me!

WildFlowerBees · 27/04/2022 15:38

On my app active shows all the random threads I never read. Bookmarks don't work and I'm on is constantly highlighted even though I'm up to date reading them. It's bilge. MN towers are in the dark ages regarding app updates.
