WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TECH?

Not on mobile site. Mumsnet New layout. I used to have OP's posts in Forest Green and mine in Dark Lavender, now I have neither and not only that - I can't even change them back as it won't Save.

And I'm getting right narked with pages. I used to have all on one page not any more because that's vanished too Sad

Can you fix it? Pleaaaase?

TYVM

Brew and Cake to keep you going.

all the threads are back to front too

AmyMumsnet · 21/08/2014 17:09

Hi everyone, tech are on the case as we speak!

iK8 · 21/08/2014 17:14

Thread author missing here too and can't update it in customise either.

ScrambledSmegs · 21/08/2014 17:24

Thanks AmyMN. Brew?

Most of my settings are back now. However I've lost the option to Bookmark threads, and all of my previously bookmarked threads have been reset.

ScrambledSmegs · 21/08/2014 17:26

Aaaaaaand they're back again.

Confused

On the desktop site, I no longer have the thread started column and I can't change the customise settings to correct it.

Is Thursday the new Friday MNHQ Grin Wine ?

BringMeSunshine2014 · 21/08/2014 18:14

Laptop here.

I've lost 'who started the thread'

and every time I post I have to hit the refresh button before it will post.

Hopefully Tech's onto those glitches though?! Or maybe I've missed the 'this is how to fix it' thread (like the one we had last year)?

I think you need to go to Customise, go right to the bottom for 'Other Options' and in the drop down box next to 'Show 'Started by'... select Yes. Then Save (if it lets you). I think that should sort out one of the problems on this thread.

cozietoesie · 21/08/2014 20:41

The trouble is that it won't let you save it. I've tried - several times.

thereturnofshoesy · 21/08/2014 20:49

bored now, nothing makes sense

QueenYnci · 21/08/2014 21:08

Been trying it all day, I select 'yes' in customise and then save but it reverts back to 'please choose one'. Very annoying. Hope it's sorted out soon.

aJumpedUpPantryBoy · 21/08/2014 21:16

It won't save for me either

RedKites · 21/08/2014 21:24

Like others, my 'Show "Started by" column in thread list:' setting has disappeared. If I set it to 'Yes' and save, then it just goes back to asking me to choose an option.

DrElizabethPlimpton · 22/08/2014 17:11

MNHQ any news on this problem?

TIA

WellWhoKnew · 22/08/2014 17:53

Also lost 'Show Started By' and I miss it very muchly. Can we have it back please.

TheGirlFromIpanema · 22/08/2014 18:31

My 'show started by' option won't save either Sad

It means I keep inadvertently clicking on old threadsstarted ages ago.

Very annoying waste of my time while wasting my time on here Wink

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 22/08/2014 20:42

I dont believe you are really trying to fix it... Wink

BoreOfWhabylon · 22/08/2014 21:31

I neeeeed the 'started by' column back!

LiveAndLetDie · 22/08/2014 21:36

Same as Zombie and Queen it's stopped showing who started threads and won't let me change it. On desktop site using Firefox.

IamtheZombie · 25/08/2014 11:36

Zombie is very, very Sad. Nay, she is bereft.

PLEASE MNHQ give Tech whatever he/she needs to restore the Started By option.

She will gladly donate extra gin, Cake, Wine, etc.

My Started By option won't 'save' to yes when selected from the drop down menu.

Windows 7 on laptop with Chrome.

adds Tennis and Bike to Zombie's donations.

IamtheZombie · 25/08/2014 12:05

Wow, Beyond. That's a whole lot of Sad.

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 25/08/2014 14:18
Grin
WellWhoKnew · 25/08/2014 18:30

FFS I keep seeing regular's names next to threads like 'I've just found out my husband has two penises' and I think Wow insert regular poster name and you didn't name change.

Then I realise that regular poster has merely regularly posted and it's not their husband.

It is discombobulating me.

Please sort it out....
