i don't like 'threads i'm on' any more... have you done something funny to it?

my screen is just clogged up with gazillions of posts about keeping yer shoes on in the house, like i care...

much as i like the fact that recently added-to threads bounce back up again, imo you are showing too many of the messages.

can't you just do the last three messages or somesuch and then have a button to take you to the last unread post? for people who are on more than a couple of threads, it's all too much like hard work to scroooooooooooooll down through so many posts. moan, chiz, moan etc.

You're a big fussy fusspot

catinthehat2 · 12/03/2011 19:52

Mine has max of 5 messages for each convo I'm on - are you saying you've got more than that?
(In that case you are allowed to chiz)

sounds as if MN need to turn the site on and off again at the wall

ethelina · 12/03/2011 20:35

Mine only has max last 5 posts. Watching has last 18 posts though which is frankly ridiculous.

Isn't "switch it off and on again" one step below "it'll be ok if you give it a kick"?

nit that I do that oh nonono HmmGrin

StealthPolarBear · 12/03/2011 20:37

Step over to the New, Aitch, and revel in the joys of newfangled contraptions like bookmarking.

Try it, you might like it! Wink

I dislike the inconsistency between TIO, TIW and TIS.

And don't get me started on the lies over how many replies are on a thread.

Shock

Hi all,

There was an issue with MN Classic that was causing up to 99 replies to be shown for a single thread on Threads I'm On, clearly this is far too many. I've changed it to match MN Modern, which is up to 5 replies per thread. This change should go live soon.
