Hi folks,

Thanks for raising this with us. As others have pointed out (thanks for that btw!), we're holding back on allowing pictures on all topics as we just want to make sure the function isn't going to be abused by trolls and the like.

However, pictures on other topics will be coming at some point in the near future-ish. Sorry we can't give you a firm date. In the mean time please enjoy this picture of Porthos.

I'm getting angry now. WE NEED THIS FUNCTION!

No problem - will get it sorted - consider it done, so long as, that is...

Hi Oblamov,
Yes, you're quite right, the app is a bit limited and certainly not as good as it should be. Apologies for that.

It's been a bit of a development lesson for us, really - we outsourced the development thinking it would be most cost effective and now we're stuck with a huge bill every time we want to make the smallest change to keep it up to date with the site. Consequently we've decided to do two things:

  1. develop an ad-free native talk app for Mumsnet in-house and charge a subscription for it
  2. develop a really fabulous Talk mobile site with some app-like functionality that contains ads but free to use.

We want to release these things together so that there's an excellent, viable, free version available at the same time as the subscription, ad-free version.

So all that means that it's a bit of a project. I'm hopeful that we are only weeks off putting out a beta version of the app for testing with a group of users, though. Obviously we'll keep you posted on that. Let me know if you'd like to get a first go at it and be part of the testing group to put it through it's paces.

I'd imagine a monthly sub but it's not quite nailed down yet - it's something we'll no doubt consult on as part of the testing - and agree it will have to be very good. Have noted your availability for testing (thanks)
