I REALLY hate the 500 post page layout.

Really, really, really REALLY!
Bring back all in one page.
That is all! As you were!

Me too :(

TotallyAddictedToLurking · 29/12/2013 20:31

Me too Sad pleeeeeeease change it back.

IamInvisible · 29/12/2013 20:31

So do I. Sad

I keep thinking the thread hasn't moved on, when it has and there are 100+ messages over the bloody page! Angry

Please change it back.

MoonlightandRoses · 30/12/2013 00:31

Ditto - only noticed when I couldn't find the 'new' post that appeared in Active for a thread I was following.

From trying to 'fix' it via "My Account" it seems that there are now no layout settings preferences available any more?

It's meant to be the season of giving, not taking things away...Sad

JuneauWhoIAm · 30/12/2013 00:31

It's bad,
Really bad MNHQ.

MoonlightandRoses · 30/12/2013 00:41

Humph

Shaky · 30/12/2013 00:44

Me too.

It mean I post at what looks like the end of he thread, then realise I have xposted with 300 posters and feel like a prize dick Sad

thornrose · 30/12/2013 00:46

Me too, I really hate it. I haven't used pages for years! I've checked a few threads lately and been surprised they haven't moved on. I suddenly notice I had to go to next page.

POTC · 30/12/2013 01:26

Agree it is awful and so difficult to use on the mobile site - takes ages to move to 2nd page and doesn't show anything is happening so I am left wondering why it won't work

Monty27 · 30/12/2013 01:27

never use pages, when I want to get to the end of a thread I press 'end'.

Grrr, change it back.

Endov.

Caoilainn · 30/12/2013 01:31

Me too!
Only just realised this was happening, threads that i had read and saved kept showing in Active but no new posts when I opened them!

MaryzBoychildCheeszuzCrizpz · 30/12/2013 01:35

So do I.

I keep posting on threads and then realising that I've only read to the 500th post, not seen the later ones.

It's driving me batty.

If they won't change it, I personally would prefer a 500 post limit. So we can start a thread 2 and be done with it. That's what we did with the Strictly threads - stop at 500 and start again.

MaryzBoychildCheeszuzCrizpz · 30/12/2013 01:36

x-posted with everyone Grin

It's getting to me. I've started hiding threads that have gone over 500 as I can't cope.

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 30/12/2013 01:36

I hate it too.

CatherineMumsnet · 01/01/2014 22:32

Hi all, just wanted to post to say thanks for providing your feedback and to let you know it's been seen. We know this has been discussed before and one of the reasons we made the change so that the site could load quicker for our members.

TodaysAGoodDay · 01/01/2014 22:36

Possibly so Catherine, but it's still pants for the rest of us.

Good idea Maryz!

I really would rather not have pages to flick through.

AmberLeaf · 01/01/2014 22:38

I hate it too.

I love all on one page, I never have pages...but now I do!

Please change it back.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 01/01/2014 22:39

It sucks ass. Sorry.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 01/01/2014 22:40

Sorry..I just love that phrase

CatherineMumsnet · 01/01/2014 22:43

Fanjo I love that phrase too

Maryz if it really isn't loading quicker then we definitely need to look into that. We don't make decisions to change the site lightly, we honestly look at how to make it better for members.

Could you let us know what browser you use? Does anyone else have any problems with pages loading?

PrincessFlirtyPants · 01/01/2014 22:44

I haven't noticed it loading any quicker at all.

The new layout is so very irritating though! [grumpy]

BIWI · 01/01/2014 22:45

I hate pages too. I particularly hate the way when you click on a thread in Active Convos when it takes you to page one rather than to the latest post on page 2. If you could fix that then it wouldn't be quite so bad
