Hands up everyone who wants to try out the BRAND NEW MUMSNET MOBILE SITE

977 replies

Hello comrades

As lots of you will know, we've been developing a brand new, souped up version of the Mumsnet mobile site for seven geological eras quite a long time now.

We can now exclusively reveal that the new mobile site is... TOTALLY AND UTTERLY ABOUT TO BE RELEASED, LIKE, ANY TIME NOW.

We've tested it on loads of MNers (Flowers to those who have helped out) but inevitably there will be glitches that only reveal themselves once tens of thousands of you dive in and start using it - so please use this thread to let us know about those (with the usual info about browsers and devices).

And if you like it, please pass along Cake and Wine to ShamTech, BrunoTech, JessicaMumsnet and all the other techs and MHQers who have been working their digits off on this.

The new improved apps are coming, honest... but in the meantime, if the old apps are driving you bonkers, do please take the new mobile site for a test drive.

Its still bleurgh.

Not what I'm used to and will put me off using mn on my phone.

Far too white/bright.

Why have you got rid of turning pages at the top ? Scrolling to the bottom is a pain.

Once logged out, then logging in again, it doesn't seem to be remembering where I bookmarked on threads.

Wont be mnetting much in future if it stays like this. Sad

Also like many other lovely posters, I would like all ops posts highlighted.

sunbathe · 20/08/2014 19:06

mamushka, I don't believe people are averse to change. Just to change which is for the worse, imo.

bruffin · 20/08/2014 19:06

Its horrible., its not intuitive or user friendly.

takes even longer than before to load

Highlight OP posts doesnt work properly as only first post is highlighted.

DioneTheDiabolist · 20/08/2014 19:06

Not a fan. :(

Can I have the old one back please?

MrsVamos · 20/08/2014 19:07

OH MY WORD.

SO SLOW.

hedwig2001 · 20/08/2014 19:08

Unutterably crap! I usually view it on Opera classic. This crashes every time I try to view Mumsnet.
Currently using Dolphin.
The whole site is awful. Too white, hard to read. Why muck about with something that worked well.
Definite fail, MNHQ.

Cocolepew · 20/08/2014 19:09

Ive jumped ship to the desktop site , and I hate the desktop site.
I want the old mobile site back

LoveBeingInTheSun · 20/08/2014 19:09

Hmm don't like my previously read threads being the same colour

ShadyMyLady · 20/08/2014 19:12

I don't like it. It doesn't say my nickname at the top of the text box like it used to either.

It's just too clinical.

AtiaoftheJulii · 20/08/2014 19:13

Looks nice. Clicked-already threads don't change colour, which doesn't help when you're looking for one.

And the lack of navigation at the top is annoying - can't believe none of the testers mentioned that?

5madthings · 20/08/2014 19:13

Grrr more prproblems, it keeps inserting my customised settings so I keep having to go back to customize and 're set it to highlight ops posts but even then it's only highlighting the op and now it won't let me have special needs threads showing, I keep ticking the box and then clicking on save and it unticks it! Angry

Ps the Devon's thread is coming up blank when I try and open it

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 20/08/2014 19:15

I really, really hate how you have ruined threads I'm on. Don't give a crap about any of the other stuff but TIO is fucked.
I want to see who posted last, I want to be able to go directly to that post. Just linking to the threads is shit.

MrsVamos · 20/08/2014 19:15

Can't do this. Page loading far too slow.

How the heck are we supposed to mnet like this ? Awful.

From a personal viewpoint, no point trying to post and natter with fellow tennis fans. By the time a post about a shot is loaded the match will be over.

Yuk yuk yuk.

Gruntbuggly · 20/08/2014 19:16

I'm not hugely bothered by all the white, but find the contrast difficult. It's the mixture of blue, grey and white.

MNHQ's posts, OTOH, are not contrasts enough!

I would like more visual separation between individual posts. Not more space, but a fatter line than the fine blue line.

regularrectangle · 20/08/2014 19:16

Far too slow, I'm giving up Sad

sunbathe · 20/08/2014 19:16

I think the font's kind of childish too. Maybe it's the huge size of it?

I can't zoom in on a picture because the ad and the blue boxes at the bottom zoom too.

There are apparently 18 new posts on pretty much every Thread I'm On. Now this could be spooky coincidence or more likely it's just not working. Please bring back the ability to see recent posts on TIO. Then I can see if I want to go back to it.

orangepudding · 20/08/2014 19:18

Can I go back to the old one, I really don't like it - especially threads I'm on

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 20/08/2014 19:19

HQ, do you feel that collective sigh and head tilt vibrating through the screen

SoonToBeSix · 20/08/2014 19:19

It's the white I hate the most, it hurts my eyes.

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 20/08/2014 19:19

The stupid little dots don't work the first time I tap, I have to tap several times, then it vanishes really quickly!

DearDinah · 20/08/2014 19:20

How do you flip the thread?
