I'm finding this really hard to get on with.

Weirdly large font and small amount to read
Massive blue bar across the bottom.

I have a large phone and it's hard work to read MN on this, it must be impossible on a smaller phone.

Please, please make it an option to have the old style mobile site. It was perfect.

I used to run a message board years ago and whenever I changed anything about 90% of people hated it initially. I think we just hate change.

Tinkerball · 20/08/2014 17:57

Why is the OPs posts not showing up highlighted in colour anymore like I set it? Does it have to be reset then?

Tinkerball · 20/08/2014 17:58

I don't mind change if it's an improvement but I liked being able to see all the OPs posts.

jacks365 · 20/08/2014 17:59

Hate this format

Marmalade1144 · 20/08/2014 18:01

I don't get it either. Most horrid. Don't like the colours or adverts which are huge!

LoxleyBarrett · 20/08/2014 18:01

It doesn't highlight the OPs posts.

Janethegirl · 20/08/2014 18:03

It's awful. And virtually unusable on my iphone. If it stays like this, I wont be able to use it. It's too slow, font too large and can only see one or two items at a time. Can we have a choice of format please?

regularrectangle · 20/08/2014 18:04

Far too much white, feel like I'm at the dentists!

Loved the old mobile site.

IPityThePontipines · 20/08/2014 18:05

It's like a cheaper and poorer version of the Guardian site.

There's no shortcuts to the top or bottom of threads anymore, the advert at the top is huge....kill it with fire!

Thelongdarkteatime · 20/08/2014 18:06

Hate it too! Changed straight to desktop site.

WaveorCheer · 20/08/2014 18:07

The text isn't getting larger when I turn my phone round to landscape.

And when I do have it in landscape, most of the page is taken up by ad/the shortcut bar.

I likey. Just wish your cursor went straight to the box when you go to add post

sunbathe · 20/08/2014 18:08

Dear God, I don't know what's worse on my phone. The new style mobile site or the desktop site. Both highly unreadable for me.

Still, I could take up knitting, I suppose.

Janethegirl · 20/08/2014 18:08

I've changed to desktop site too

Cocolepew · 20/08/2014 18:09

Use the v at the top to customise so the op is highlighted

Frogisatwat · 20/08/2014 18:09

Only op posts opening ones are highlighted. Not good

PinkSquash · 20/08/2014 18:09

Wheres all the buttons gone? Why does it look like vBulletin c.2002?

The mobile webpage was basic but well laid out, this is a navigational nightmare.

NewEraNewMindset · 20/08/2014 18:09

It needs the option of First, Previous, Next, Last at the top of the thread, not just the bottom. I also miss being able to see who last contributed to the thread in the 'Threads I'm on' list.

LoveVintage · 20/08/2014 18:10

Argh there is too much going on on the screen. I don't like change!
