Hi all,

As you know we have launched the new mobile site, we know it's a big change and we are still very keen to get it right with your help. This is very much a version that will evolve with your help as part of the testing process.

There have been a few glitches that have/are being ironed out and the HUGE thread has nearly maxed out, so we thought it best to start a shiny new one.

We know change is tricky but, as with most things MN, we are all ears and happy to look at any feedback you have on ways we can improve the new site.

Thanks all Thanks

@Sirzy

I am sure it has been asked already but it's hard enough to navigate without trying to got through the whole thread but when I click on the threads from TIO it takes me to the first post, I want to come to the last post not what I had already read

tech are fixing Threads I'm On right now.

Samsung s4 mini Google Chrome browser

Screen rotation not working for me.

I actually hate the fumction, but checked it out to add to glitch list.

LittleBear I'm scrolling 'down' (I think...) no safari buttons. I think it's the ad that's the problem but I see this has already been mentioned 100's of times and may change.

Ha Grin Yes, we will probably test the ad in a few positions.

Coumarin · 22/08/2014 13:46

Bear Scrolling 'up' and reading 'down'. No safari buttons anyway. I know what you mean. Smile

I do like the easy smileys now btw MNHQ. If you add an 'edit post' function then that'd ease my woe even more. Wink

KateBeckett · 22/08/2014 13:47

Bookmark now working really well for me. Hurrah!

Portrait/landscape issue exactly he same for me as for Theonewiththenicestsmile

Glastogirl · 22/08/2014 13:48

I cannot post on the app at all. I type something and just get the round dotted circle until the page times out.

So frustrating!

Plus I can't see an option to start a new thread on the mobile app.

The op posts are highlighted so faintly it's near impossible to see - can we have the purple and green back?

Plus can we have a view the whole thread button? I hate having to click through page after page.

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 22/08/2014 13:51

LittleBearPad

Have you bookmarked the 1034 post?

No Grin

In fact the posts I'm taken up to are inching downwards - most recently it was 1045

My battery is down to 24% now though from 90% at about 9.30am - it usually lasts all day - I think I might have to go back to desktop again for a while

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 22/08/2014 13:53

1046 rather

Still one of Rowan's though

LittleBearPad · 22/08/2014 13:54

Maybe your phone likes the blue background Grin

Glastogirl · 22/08/2014 13:55

App does this and never lets me post!

To start a new thread:

Go into a topic, and select "Add thread" from the sub-menu (NB you must be logged in to see the sub-menu: it's under the downward-pointing chevron under the three main icons in the top right of the page)

Or go into a topic and select "Add thread" from the shortcuts bar at the bottom

Or you can go into a thread and select "Start new thread" from the sub-menu (NB you must be logged in to see the sub-menu: it's under the downward-pointing chevron under the three main icons in the top right of the page)

Looks like you're on an iPhone GlastoGirl - is that right? Can you tell us which phone (iPhone 3/4/4s/5)?

Glastogirl · 22/08/2014 14:00

It's an iPhone 5 :)

Is there a way to pick our own colours and show a whole thread eater than flick through the pages?

RowanMumsnet · 22/08/2014 14:00

We'll tell Tech that power use is still an issue.

RowanMumsnet · 22/08/2014 14:01

@Glastogirl

It's an iPhone 5 :)

Thanks. Anyone else having trouble posting from an iPhone?

AppleAndMelon · 22/08/2014 14:03

Poor Shamtech Sad. do you think he/she may have missed the lectures on change management?

LittleBearPad · 22/08/2014 14:09

I'm on an iPhone 5s on wifi and posting is fine. It's a bit flaky when I move from wifi to 3/4g but I can live with that

Sirzy · 22/08/2014 14:10

Mine is slow from iPhone 5c but working

SoonToBeSix · 22/08/2014 14:12

Rowan sorry I wasn't clear. The actual banner is static. However some adverts like the Peugeot are like a silent video the images move.

MardyBra · 22/08/2014 14:14

Won't let me hide the icons bar. I can get it up on the menu but clicking on it won't activate it.

iPhone 4
Safari
Very old operating system (not sure which).

[dino emoticon]

MardyBra · 22/08/2014 14:18

Scrap my last message. it's working.

RowanMumsnet · 22/08/2014 14:18

To see all posts on one page

We don't have an on-page button for this at the moment although we'll keep an eye on how many of you would like it reinstated personally I used to use it quite a lot.

For now you need to do it via Customise (under the sub-menu. NB you must be logged in to see the sub-menu: it's under the downward-pointing chevron under the three main icons in the top right of the page)

RowanMumsnet · 22/08/2014 14:21

Aha, thanks. Will check out what our policy is on ads that move.
