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.

Ooh! I loves it! Grin

droitwichmummy · 20/08/2014 17:49

I think I quite like it Smile

AugustaProdworthy · 20/08/2014 17:49

Sorry- no idea it was changing , it just did it and I don't like it.
But I don't reAlly like change....

icanmakeyouicecream · 20/08/2014 17:49

Honestly why change it??? Why?? Why fix it if it's not broken? Argh!

bumpiesonamission · 20/08/2014 17:50

MEEEEEEEEE

Squtternutbaush · 20/08/2014 17:50

Can we get some colour back?

I don't like the all white!

Germgirl · 20/08/2014 17:50

It's turned into the new site for me now. It's ok. I tend to use the app rather than the mobile site anyway.
The blue bar is hovering midway up the page on occasions like it did in the test version but other than that it seeks fine.
Give MNHQ a chance people, they're trying to help! There's a few snarky comments here.

PonyMcBony · 20/08/2014 17:50

It's horrible

todayisnottheday · 20/08/2014 17:50

It's very different! I don't dislike it though Smile

One question, op posts are no longer highlighted, is this a glitch or do I need to do something?

tak1ngchances · 20/08/2014 17:50

It's cheap and basic looking. What the hell tarnation has happened to the font? The layout is vile goo. Lawks

icanmakeyouicecream · 20/08/2014 17:50

Oh yes we also loose have the page because of that shitty little ad at the top.

AtYourCervix · 20/08/2014 17:51

I rather like it.

Wine Thanks Wine

Squtternutbaush · 20/08/2014 17:51

After a few minutes I quite like the layout but its too clinical

FinickityCoder · 20/08/2014 17:51

I hate it. Is there no chance of a 'classic mobile site' option? Did I mention I hate it

TobyZiegler · 20/08/2014 17:51

I tell you what though on an iPhone it makes the content that you actually want in only a tiny portion of the screen, because you have the ad at the top, the blue thing at the bottom with 'active' and 'watching' etc... And beneath that my iPhones back, forward, bookmark commands etc... Leaving I would say just over half the screen for the actual content I'm trying to read.

Does that make sense?

Cocolepew · 20/08/2014 17:51

No no no, you have to go to the bottom off the page to turn over and I keep hitting the search button with my hand .

Its too white

QueenBean · 20/08/2014 17:51

Ah I hate it!! Can we have the option to change back to the old site?

I really really dislike!

AtYourCervix · 20/08/2014 17:52

Is there a way of going to active convos or TIO at the top of a thread? Or is it just at the bottom?

Germgirl · 20/08/2014 17:52

Are pictures meant to enlarge if I tap them? They don't.
could just be me!

sunbathe · 20/08/2014 17:52

Is there any way of sticking to the old version? Sorry.

icanmakeyouicecream · 20/08/2014 17:52

I'm sticking to the desktop site on iPhone and iPad. Total joke.

Fairylea · 20/08/2014 17:52

Absolutely hate it. Especially that on threads I'm on you can no longer see the poster and first line of their post.
