AIBU for hating that Chat now looks different from AIBU?

I hate the new format for Chat, and probably other topics as well. I like the way AIBU looks and enjoy scrolling through. It's actually put me right off. Anyone else?

Me too! I thought initially it was a problem with my phone but I don't like it at all

curlycat · 07/04/2024 16:05

Me too. I thought it was just me as no-one had mentioned it. Style is the same.
I like how the posts you have read are highlighted a different colour on AIBU.
It is definitely putting me off the other topics.
Wonder why some have changed and others aren't

MeMyCatsAndMyBooks · 07/04/2024 16:06

Looks the same to me on the app?

NiceUnusualDifferent · 07/04/2024 16:06

Same for me and style and beauty, really awful and makes me not go on. Not sure what the point of it being like that is.

shoppingshamed · 07/04/2024 16:07

It's not just chat, several topics have been like it for a while, I don't like the way it looks at all

chipsandpeas · 07/04/2024 16:07

you can change it in your talk settings, choose compact and it should go back to the way it was

BusyCM · 07/04/2024 16:07

You can change it back in your settings.

SabreIsMyFave · 07/04/2024 16:10

You can change it back as pps have said, but the trouble is, it goes right back (to the new forum) as soon as you come out. So you have to change it every time! Even if you click on a thread in Chat, and come back out into Chat, you have to change the settings again!

Mine all look the same. I think I changed the settings back when it first happened and they've never changed back by themselves. I don't have to change it very time.

OddityOddityOdd · 07/04/2024 16:15

"If it ain't broke don't fix it." I don't know why the display has been changed but it's certainly not an improvement. It was so much better to just see the title of the threads and which ones you had read. I don't like the changes at all.

Wilkolampshade · 07/04/2024 16:18

Yep, hate it. Awful.

HolyMilkBoobiesBatman · 07/04/2024 16:21

THANK YOU to everyone who explained how to change it back, that’s been driving me bonkers!

Hoglet70 · 07/04/2024 16:22

Go into settings and change it otherwise it just switches back. Don't know why they've done it.

Same. I use Food & Recipes frequently which was one of the first boards this view was tested on, and I switched views in my settings when it first happened in November last year and haven't seen the new view anywhere on Mumsnet since.

lemongrizzled · 07/04/2024 16:30

This is what’s stopped me using the ‘followed topics’ feature as you can’t change the topic page back.

MN don’t seem to get that this is a forum and not a bloody blog feed!

DilemmaDelilah · 07/04/2024 17:26

@chipsandpeas thank you so much! I haven't done it yet but here's hoping!

OP posts:
ALongHardWinter · 07/04/2024 17:27

Same here. I thought I'd clicked on the wrong thing at first. Don't like it at all!

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 07/04/2024 17:28

Agree, it’s awful.

DanielGault · 07/04/2024 17:30

Mine looks the same, but it seems like there are no posts on chat at all?

PassingStranger · 07/04/2024 18:17

Agree, please put it back MN. It is off-putting.

evertheblue · 07/04/2024 18:18

I changed it in my settings just once, and it has stayed changed

Pippa246 · 07/04/2024 18:22

Just popped over and had a look and I don’t like it either. It reminds me of the way things look on the app which is why I don’t use the app!

as a side note - I don’t like the way you get a notification if some thanks you - you’ve then got to go and look at it to get rid of the notification which is a faff and waste of time - or is there a way to mark the notification as read?

mathanxiety · 07/04/2024 19:25

Knock on wood, but mine hasn't changed at all.
