My Mumsnet pull down menu... :(

Anyone else unable to access the My Mumsnet pull down menu. I'm on a mobile device but surely it should still work.

When I click on "My Account" I get You Tube?
When I click on"My Profile" I get Reviews?

And so on...

Anyone know a way to change usernames on the mobile version?

That's very odd, sorry about that. Have you tried zooming right in to it to make sure you're clicking on the right link?

BiscuitCrumb · 27/05/2014 19:02

Yep tried zooming and everything. It seems to open what's behind it rather than what you click on. I'm on my mobile but the desktop version because there doesn't seem to be a 'my account' section on the mobile version.

I'm getting this too. I try and open my in box and I keep getting Reviews. If I keep my finger on the inbox title it gives me the option to open it in another tab so at least I can read PM's

I'm on an iPad using Safari

RowanMumsnet · 28/05/2014 10:47

Thanks Doin - which version of the site are you using?

Doinmummy · 28/05/2014 19:11

Errrmmmm! The normal one ?! Confused

Doinmummy · 28/05/2014 19:11

How so I tell (thicko)

Doinmummy · 28/05/2014 19:11

*do

Hello RowanMumsnet, thanks for your email. Yes I still have this problem. I cannot change my name on the mobile version of Mumsnet so I have to use the desktop version. But I don't have a PC at the moment so I have to use the desktop version on my iPhone and iPad. The drop down menu does not work. Does anyone from tech have an iPhone they can try it from? They will see what I'm taking about straight away if they try it.

Sorry doin - I mean, are you on the mobile site or the desktop site (I assume you're not on the app?)

If you scroll right down to the very bottom of the page - absolutely completely the bottom - do you see, in the middle, a small line of blue linking text saying 'Mobile site'?

Biscuit please bear with me because I'm about to be annoying: I've got the mobile version open on my iPhone (just open on a thread) but can't see where the 'my account' or 'my profile' buttons are - can you point me in the right direction?

Doinmummy · 29/05/2014 10:39

It says mobile site.

RowanMumsnet · 29/05/2014 10:41

Ah OK - so you're both using the desktop site, but on mobile devices - is that right? (Sorry this is so painful)

Doinmummy · 29/05/2014 17:18

Yes desk too site on an iPad

RowanMumsnet · 29/05/2014 17:25

Right! Sorry I was being so dim.

We'll have a look at this, but in the meantime (as Doin says) if you press on the link it gives you the option to open in a new tab - does this work as a workaround for now, biscuit?
