I am Not liking this 'only the last 5 posts' visible in my Threads I'm on. Not one little bit.

One minute there's too many, now there's too few. Confused You MNers are hard to satisfy at times. I could put the Classic view of TIO up to 10 replies, would that be a suitable compromise?

Actually, the limit was 99, which I'm sure you'll agree was a tad much! For most threads that wouldn't be a problem of course, but some users had issues when there was survey threads and the like that quickly accumulated tons of replies.

As a fix we reduced the limit to 5 as that is how it appears on MN Modern, but if the legions of Classic users would prefer a bit more scope, we can up the limit a bit more. Obviously, we just want everyone to reach a happy compromise! Or is that being too idealist? Wink

Hi all,

Sorry to not have responded earlier. Your concerns regarding Threads I'm On have been taken on board and you can expect some updates to it soon. We plan to add a new preference that will let you choose the number of replies to show, which will default to the old values of 5 on New, and 100 on Classic, but can be set to any value you like for either.

Create message/Post message was an oversight, it'll be back to the original wording soon.

I think I've mentioned before, but the main reason Techs aren't blue is that it'd take Tech work to sort it out, and we're more interested in making things better for you guys rather than ourselves. :)

I don't have any estimate on when the changes will occur, we try not to restart the site more often than is necessary as it tends to give our members grief, plus these things need to be subject to proper testing and so on before we put them up live.

Bold/italic formatting is being looked into, afraid I can't be any more specific than that at the moment.

@NetworkGuy: I appreciate your concern, but if we started a vote on every little change we want to make on the site nothing would ever get done. And Mumsnet does need to move forward, if nothing ever changes the site will never grow.

While it's very important to maintain the current look-and-feel (I hate tickers Grin), we also want to improve things and make the site feel more welcoming for everyone who uses it. We try and maintain Classic in its current time-capsule-esque state, but some changes must happen, for instance, making the site accessible to those who use screen readers. This can affect Classic too, though we hope in a good (and as minimal as possible) way.

As always, we appreciate your feedback, but we do have to do what's best for Mumsnet, that is our job after all!

Re: the PM thing, if you have no more messages beyond/before the one you're reading, hitting the prev/next buttons will take you back to the Inbox. Possibly this is what you're referring to?

Hello. We've made a few changes in Threads I'm On.

Now you can customise your options to select how many replies you want to see. And (as before) customise how many days you want Threads I'm On to check back.
