Mine's gone too - please tell us how to get it back Smile

poncyettia · 04/12/2012 21:52

mines vanished too - very boring having to scroll up to the top to get back to active convos Xmas Sad

Lougle · 04/12/2012 21:54

Mine also.

Lougle · 04/12/2012 21:56

Oooh interesting...the option has gone under 'customise' too. Perhaps it's 'Viewport bar RIP'.

Hulababy · 04/12/2012 21:57

Mine's gone now, now you mention it.
I prefer it gone tbh.

AnyaKnowIt · 04/12/2012 21:57

Mine has gone to, can't find how to get it back Sad

Phew, I thought I was having a moment!

I was sure I remembered it being in customise too.

I was trying to remember if I've changed any setting or anything and had accidentally turned it off but the only thing I've done is NC for 1 post on the secret santa thread.

I used it all the time, scrolling back to the top all the time is a right ball ache.

Was there always another talk menu bar thing right at the bottom under the smileys?

Never noticed it...well blow me (not literally Grin)! Still want the floaty bar for those times a long thread gets too dull to finish (all pages as one option here).

BertieBotts · 04/12/2012 23:50

You know there's a link for Active at the bottom? And you can also return to the top by pressing "Home" on your keyboard.

I just found the links on the bottom about half n hour ago (How I've not noticed them for 2 years I don't know!)

I don't have home button as I only have a crappy little net booky thing. I have to do a ctrl + something else faff.

I have also lost my floaty bar.

I believe they call it a "viewport bar".

LineRunnerWithBellsOn · 05/12/2012 08:43

I hated the floaty bar when it first appeared and now I miss it when it's gone. I'm mad, me.

lubeybooby · 05/12/2012 08:46

I posted about it yesterday - it's been reported to tech www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/1628930-Wheres-the-floaty-bar-gone

CuttedUpPear · 05/12/2012 08:47
