QUESTIONS ABOUT NEW LAYOUT THREAD

70 replies

SouthernComforts · 20/08/2014 20:07

Sorry for shouting. I'm guessing MNHQ has exploded with people complaining so this is for actual questions or queries.

How do I hide threads?

How do I get all OPs posts to highlight, not just the opening post?

Tia!

How do I report posts?

TIA.

SouthernComforts · 20/08/2014 20:11

Crisp, click the three little dots at the bottom right corner of each post Smile

OP posts:
crispandfruity · 20/08/2014 20:12

Ignore. Have just discovered the tiny ... In the bottom right hand corner of each post. All sorts of options in there.

crispandfruity · 20/08/2014 20:13

Thanks Southern, they are teeny tiny on my windows phone! Cake

LegoClone · 20/08/2014 20:13

Getting the OP's posts highlighted is the first thing that bothered me about the new look mobile site - am most annoyed I can't figure out how to do it and I'm worried that it isn't an option! Sad

Clicky smilies are good though. Grin

SouthernComforts · 20/08/2014 20:15

Same here crisp! Had to put my glasses on to find them.

Yep I fear my smilie usage is going to sky rocket

It is definitely an option LegoClone I actually think it's easier to do than it was before but it seems I am alone in that!

LegoClone · 20/08/2014 20:20

I've figured out where customise is hiding! I'm assuming that the highlight OP's posts function isn't working properly as it's only highlighted the initial post for me (which I guess is what you're referring to in your opening post Southern).

SouthernComforts · 20/08/2014 20:27

Yes that's what I mean Lego, I hope that gets sorted quickly.

OP posts:
SouthernComforts · 20/08/2014 20:28

All my posts on this thread are highlighted,but only the OP on other people's.

OP posts:
wrapsuperstar · 20/08/2014 20:52

Yep. If you select 'highlight OP posts' in the customise menu, it only highlights their very first post on the thread. I am mobile and do not own a computer.

In my opinion the original highlighting option was an essential function of the site. Without it, MN is unusable to me. Absolute shite.

elQuintoConyo · 20/08/2014 21:09

I

HATE

THIS

WITH

A

PASSION

SORRY FOR SHOUTING

And this box is bloody teeny tiny, to.small to write in.

New stuff sucks. It blows. It's wearing a t-shirt that says HATE ME. It's boiling bunnies.

I just piss about around active convos, i'd hate to actually need this site.

ChuckitintheBucket · 20/08/2014 21:20

Where is customise so I can highlight OP's posts? Thank you.

ScarlettDarling · 20/08/2014 21:22

I can't find the customise menu in order to highlight posts...help!Sad

AryaOfHouseSnark · 20/08/2014 21:25

Oh yes, I was wondering how to highlight the ops posts too. I love that function, does it also highlight out own posts ?
I didn't notice earlier and I left my phone in a lightly sleeping child's room, so can't check.

WanderingTrolley1 · 20/08/2014 21:27

How do you watch a thread nowadays?!

ScarlettDarling · 20/08/2014 21:27

Sorry for repeating myself...didn't think it had sent!!Angry

Stealthpolarbear · 20/08/2014 21:29

How do you start a new thread
I think if I got that I might like it

cakesonatrain · 20/08/2014 21:29

I'm going to post on this thread aswell, to show you how much I hate this.

I agree that we need the option to highlight op's posts properly.

And the blue bar thingy that moves down the thread a bit - what an annoying piece of crap that is! It might be useful if it scrolled down all the way with you, but it just scrolls down a little way, and then sits over a post so you can't read it.

And I have to refresh after I post in order to see my/subsequent posts.

And the buttons don't all load properly.

And Threads I'm On needs to show the recent posts.

ScarlettDarling · 20/08/2014 21:31

And when I post,my screen just seems to freeze so I have to press the back button , go out of the thread to the menu, then back in. Confuuuuuused!

Stealthpolarbear · 20/08/2014 21:31

And where has the logo gone? I know it's not functionality but makes me wonder if its changing. Are we moving away from the woman brandishing a dildo?

cakesonatrain · 20/08/2014 21:36

Oh yes, I don't seem to have a Start New Thread button, either! Where the chuff is it?

LegoClone · 20/08/2014 21:43

At the top of the page under the search etc icons and alongside > talk > site stuff (or whatever) is a down arrowhead in a circle icon which has customise and watch thread options (amongst other things).

No idea how you start a new thread though!
