MNHQ CALLING: sign in here if you want to test stuff for us (on-site stuff that is)

[RowanMumsnet]

Hello

We've got lots of new whizzy functions and apps and mobile sites and whatnot upcoming and we'd like to have a bunch of MNers we can call on to test things for us before we release them into the wild to cause havoc on the boards

Some things will be fairly discrete and quick to test and feed back on; others will be big things (like the apps and mobile sites) and will require you to use them for a few days and have a good poke around.

Of course by volunteering now you're not committing to anything - we'll always contact you first to ask if you're still up for it, and if you can't do it or don't see the mail in time that's absolutely fine.

So if in principle you'd like to be in our testers' group, please sign up here and let us know the following:

1. how you mostly use MN (desktop site, mobile site, app)
2. which device you usually use (phone, tablet, desktop, laptop etc)
3. which operating system runs on the device you usually use (Windows, Apple OSs, Android, Linux etc)

Thanks v much

Thank you all SO much!

This is a wonderful response and we can see we're going to run short on shiny stars for the spreadsheet.

We're busy prototyping and doing lots of different things that we'd love your thoughts on over the coming weeks so keep an eye out for an email from us.

As Rowan said, some things will be teeny and just take a mo to answer and others might be more of a play around. Either way we'll email first and if you don't have time that's completely fine we can always keep you on The Shiny List and get you next time around.

Thank you again everyone - have or whichever you prefer.

Or indeed both
