See you later people - the no paragraphs is the kick I needed!

Hiya all. Like many I spend far too much time on MN - and even pay £4.99 a month for premium. The replatform disaster, followed by the rubbish handling, plus the no paragraphs and increasingly bizarre deletions / moderating has given me the kick I need to take a hiatus.
Anyone else at the end of their tether?

I think paragraphs might be an app issue? Who knows!

The loss of AS is lamentable, agreed.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 14/05/2022 11:48

I think the no paragraphs thing is on iPhone only.

BonnesVacances · 14/05/2022 11:49

Like this Hmm

Written with paragraphs too.

But I've been here a decade, it's too late for me. Save yourself OP

EinsteinaGogo · 14/05/2022 11:49

Yep, like that @BonnesVacances except I can't see your last word on my screen.

I'm not getting paragraphs either and it's really pissing me off.

Also getting the last words of posts randomly cut off halfway through.

EinsteinaGogo · 14/05/2022 11:51

Thank you, @pedropony76 - I can send help back for you !!!

My worst thing is the lost ability to search by poster.

You can.

Only a decade?!!!

Clymene · 14/05/2022 11:54

It's an iOS app thing. Paragraphs have disappeared and the quote function doesn't work properly. V annoying!

FlibbertyGiblets · 14/05/2022 11:56

Einstein if you on an app try logging into mumsnet desktop, see if your experience is different? (you will get ads though)

Theunamedcat · 14/05/2022 11:56

Technically you don't need flouncers corner as your not flouncing what we need is a grumpy bus

Fer god's sake, I apologise hugely for that burble. Try again.

EinsteinaGogo · 14/05/2022 11:47

Ah, @PrettyMaybug - thank you!! Sadly though..I'm old enough to own at Pittmans qualification and have been carriage-returning for many, many years!
It's not working it's not working it's not working -arghhhhh!!!!! 😩🤪😩😩🤩

I do apologise.Flowers I see from several posters above, that whilst everyone ELSE is seeing everything in paragraphs, the poster in question (who is complaining about no paragraphs) is seeing one big block of text.

Apologies!!! Cannot imagine why this is happening. Stupid question... Have you asked why on the 'Site Stuff' page?

NonagonInfinityOpensTheDoor · 14/05/2022 12:09

I’ve said it many times but the roll out of these new platform has been absolutely abysmal and I would really like to know if ANY testing went on before hand. I also hope the coding team have applied for refunds on their coding qualifications from whatever sorry institute they got them from as they’re absolutely fucking useless. If I rolled out something that’s been an absolutely failure like this I’d be sacked.

@savoycabbage

You I 👀 still can
Go to search select filter and you I get a posted by option. Type the name and a popdown list appears, select and run search

However I have noticed that some time not all posters or even the recent threads appear as I was looking for someone i knew has posted that day on an other thread and the search option did not work for them

growandhope · 14/05/2022 12:17

the spacing is ridiculous and I am a UX designer and the image size stuff, should be a quick fix, still atrocious. I think Mumsnet has been had 😃probably paid a fortune for it too.

Fizbosshoes · 14/05/2022 12:17

I have paragraphs.
I also spend way to long on MN but I'm still here!🤣

I'm not liking the multiple quote thing, it's super-hard to figure out who said what!

AllLopsided · 14/05/2022 12:18

I get random posts with no paragraph, with the html code instead, like this

  • (on IOS app). And then the next paragraph straight after. I just skim over them if they are more than a few lines long.

    What is depressing is that
    a) MNHQ seems to have stopped replying to people who have problems with the site (but maybe you'd be better to post on Site Stuff before you flounce, so there is a tiny chance someone will read it).

    And

    b) MNHQ obviously didn't think it was worth using any of their substantial profit to pay for meaningful software testing in the package they agreed with the developers

    I refuse to use the desktop site as it take about six times as long to read a thread due to the ads loading,

    I have put paragraphs in the second part to see if they work for you OP.

  • AllLopsided · 14/05/2022 12:19

    Cross post with NonagonInfinityOpensTheDoor about the testing!

    EinsteinaGogo · 14/05/2022 12:20

    Sorry guys, I can't respond to your helpful posts because I've gone.

    (I haven't. I'm still here. Someone HELLLLPPPPPPP MEEEEEEE!!!)

    OMG, this. I work in tech. If a supplier had done this catastrophic a job I'd want damages! And I wouldn't be bloody flannelling / gaslighting my clients, either.

    Not being able to view all the posts on one page is annoying me. And the search function is worse than ever. I was trying to find a review of a book yesterday and it wouldn't come up on the search. Had to trawl through 20 pages of a thread to find what I wanted.

    ilovesooty · 14/05/2022 12:25

    Perhaps if the OP was unaware of Flouncers Corner she doesn't know about Site Stuff either. Perhaps she's one of those posters who never move out of AIBU.

    wishitwasaduvetday · 14/05/2022 12:36

    OMG! I've only just realised I haven't got paragraphs either! I just assumed posters were shit at writing and weren't using them!! I'm also an iOS user.
