What is this new thread layout about?!

[Moirarosesgarden]

Only on certain forums (eg property one) but it’s awful! Each post takes up so much space! Does anyone know if I can change the setting back to seeing just the thread title or are mumsnet running some kind of A/B test?!

Yes it’s a test, there’s threads about it in site stuff

This Site Stuff thread should give you all you need to know!

Click the little square box at the top of the list. Takes it back to compact view.

Yeah, it's awful but I found out today you click the box in the top right of the thread and it reverts to the user friendly view rather than the advertisers pretending to be posters product placement view.

I've not seen this so went and had a look at the property forum. It actually seems quite useful, you can see what the thread is about before clicking on it unlike when people put unhelpful thread titles like 'Am I Being Unreasonable?'. I like it.

You can change it in talk settings , no one likes it .
