...to think that MN has gone a bit technically tits-up..

..presumably since the recent "up-grade"?

I now currently have a new membership even tho I'm as old as the hills on MN... because I was logged out..couldn't remember my password because hadn't needed it for so long.. but couldn't send myself a password reminder because the email system didn't work.. it told me my email address was already taken (yes.. sigh.. by me.. the proper me.. not this new Borg persona!

Even as this nee be, when I click on threads I'm on, nothing shows up, even though I've been posting in different threads all evening.

Is anyone else having these or similar issues?

It’s gone tits up and it’s boring the tits off me. When you combine the amount of people who have left because of the shit ‘update’ and the constant thread deletions, there’s not much on here anymore. I’ve had the exact same threads in ‘active’ for 3 days running. I tried to go back to netmums but that’s not worked since their update (how I ended up on here). There’s been quite a few recommendations of other forums but I’ve not created accounts/explored them properly yet, but I’m going to tomorrow. I’ll let you know how I get on

My active threads have been the same for days too and always get connection issues.

I agree, some of the new features are fine but overall it’s less of an upgrade and more of a downgrade to the late 2000s really. Everything is so slow, threads vanish, it’s a bit shit and if I were them I’d want my money back.

CharSiu · 19/06/2022 01:43

Yes same active threads fir dats plus adverts dancing across my page in a way I haven’t had before.

Legsbefriends · 19/06/2022 01:54

Too many adverts yes.

anf no spell check is v futststijh.

Legsbefriends · 19/06/2022 01:54

Case in point

mackthepony · 19/06/2022 01:55

Totally agree

It's now really clunky

Tromboleese · 19/06/2022 01:57

Yes, it’s been crap since the update but great for my screen time as I’m not coming on here every once a day now.

ILoveAllRainbowsx · 19/06/2022 02:01

I honestly haven't noticed any issues since the upgrade except for the very slow page loading for a couple of days last week.

I use the website on both my laptop and mobile (not the app).

skinnythick · 19/06/2022 02:06

It’s so stale now. Not to mention the constant ‘site down’ episodes

What bothers me most is when I am on my 'phone I'll click on a thread, and it won't come up with that thread, but an entirely different one-or sometimes It'll just go to 'AIBU' for example or whatever forum that thread was in. It's as if it can't tell where you're clicking any more.

That happens to me a lot. But with me I’ve realised it’s because for some reason the site topic is literally on top of the thread title. It’s impossible sometimes to click on the right one as they’re so close together
