iPhone mn app - WTF?

43 replies

Patilla · 20/08/2014 19:21

WTF has happened to the iPhone app?

I've managed to get rid of the shortcuts bar at the bottom which cut off so much of the screen that it made me feel like I was trying to read a billboard through a porthole.

I can't, however, find how to turn back on the setting that coloured the OP's ongoing posts a specific colour.

Anyone managed to do this?

I just want to make it work like it use to!

Hmm, mine hasn't changed :S

Has there been an update for the app?

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 20/08/2014 19:25

AAAAAAARGH
it's all gone horribly wrong like a few days ago
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, MN?
All the buttons have gone
Threads I'm on etc just shows title & no of replies
Coloured bar with poster's name has gone
Font is different
STOP IT!!!

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 20/08/2014 19:25

I'm not even on the app
I'm on mobile site on safari

Katz · 20/08/2014 19:26

Agh! Just opened the website on my iPhone. It's all different. I don't like change!!

Patilla · 20/08/2014 19:27

No idea. One moment I'm happily avoiding the tidying up by escaping into someone else's far more interesting life reading a supporting a nurturing community conversation.

The next moment it's all different and I actually have to read all the posts to follow what's going on rather than skim for a differently coloured post.

Oh the inhumanity of it all.

I hate it. I'm on my iPod and it's SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 20/08/2014 19:29

No option to switch to desktop sits either
FFS

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 20/08/2014 19:30

Site
Not sits

Patilla · 20/08/2014 19:31

evabeavers it's easy to get rid of the silly bottom shortcuts thing.

Just go to the Person in a circle at the top right if your screen and click on "remove shortcut buttons"

It's only one small thing but it's a small correction improvement to cling to in the sea of this disaster.

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 20/08/2014 19:33

Ah
Phew
Just backpaged to original window & switched to desktop site until it's fixed
STOPPIT MN Angry

Patilla · 20/08/2014 19:33

nicestsmile

Scroll to very bottom of page below advert and there is still a "desktop version" link.

Thank goodness.

EvaBeaversProtege · 20/08/2014 19:36

Thanks patilla.

Anyone know if this is a glitch or a new layout.

If it's new, I don't like it Sad

Patilla · 20/08/2014 19:37

And the watch etc options are available but you've got to Make the compromise of losing a significant proportion of your screen to the shortcut buttons bar as far as I can tell.

So you lose the sense of being able to scroll easily.

I'll post if I find a less offensive way of using mumsnet effectively having those links available.

Patilla · 20/08/2014 19:39

Just realised everything I've web saying is about the mobile site sorry not app.

Heavily sleep deprived and ill.

How do you hide threads in Active Convos??
I want to get rid of 80% of the threads coming up in Active like I usually do
Ridiculous.

OneLittleToddleTerror · 20/08/2014 19:41

What happened? I'm on safari on iPhone. Now when I go to I'm on, I can't see the latest posts anymore so I can't tell if I have read them! Most inconvenient.

angelohsodelight · 20/08/2014 19:41

Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

onedogatoddlerandababy · 20/08/2014 19:42

Mine has gone batshit crazy as well. Is it meant to be like this?? [horror]

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 20/08/2014 19:43

Oh I didn't get that far but good to know Smile
Thanks, Patilla

Patilla · 20/08/2014 19:43

I have a horrible sense that this may be....

deliberate.

OP posts:
onedogatoddlerandababy · 20/08/2014 19:44

And ads. I'm not on the app either, just iPhone Safari...argh

hashtagwhatever · 20/08/2014 19:45

Mine looks totally strange

Nothing like mn. I didn't like it

Patilla · 20/08/2014 19:47

Now my desktop version has ground to a shuddering halt too.

I'm going to have to... do the housework.... at this rate.
