Anyone else been (unasked for) added to infinite scroll?

[ExtraOnions]

I have my MN set to “25 replies per page” so I can easily navigate through threads.

Been working fine this morning … however this has now changed, so all the replies are on one page - so you have to scroll, and scroll, and scroll to get to the end.

Anyone else ? It’s hideous

I also didn’t ask for a poll … but it gave me one anyway - I’m getting all the luck today !

There’s a message in site stuff about this, I’ll see if I can dig it out. I used it to ask to be removed from this pilot and am now back to pages, which is perfect. One sec and I’ll see if I can find it for you.

Yes me also, apparently a thread in site stuff you can ask to be removed from it I’ve had no luck yet it’s so annoying.

Yes, it's changed recently and it's definitely hard to navigate through threads.

But the weird thing is, on some threads, I see pages and some others threads, it's just one long thread.

I'm viewing it on my phone browser, I don't want to download the app as I keep telling myself that I need to spend less time on here! 🙈

Yes, it is terrible. It's so hard to find one's original post when the page numbers no longer exist and posting a reply is much slower. How do I get out of this?

i thought my phone was broke FFS mumsnet. Thank you op for saving me from buying a new phone fyi hate it

It's just happened to me today on the website and I too hate it. It makes the site basically unusable, especially as I have arthritis in my hands and find too much scrolling painful. What on earth were Mumsnet thinking to make such a change unasked?

I’ve got this today and just queried it on an unrelated thread. Is it an MN thing? I hope not or I may have to stop coming on here, it was tedious beyond belief to keep scrolling indefinitely.

So are there no longer page numbers? 😱

After messing around in my settings out of sheer frustration, I discovered yesterday afternoon that I could still get 50 posts to a page. Later I was able to change that back to 25 posts per page and this morning I'm still on that. Not sure whether what I did sorted everything or whether Mumsnet took me out of the infinite scrolling test group, but I'm just thankful to be back to normal. This is using the website on a laptop.

It’s one of the oddest changes MN has ever done. Completely non-sensical. It’s just good to be back to normal. 😊
