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

Evening again. Above is an updated list of bugs, glitches, general annoyances. Do feel free to send us more detail on any of these - we are passing it all on to The Great Fixers Of Everything. Please note the list here is pretty general, so if your specific 'pictures', for example, concern doesn't appear, please don't think we've missed it off. We've got a more exhaustive list at HQ with all the detail on - to save repeating the entire thread here, this list would just say, for example: 'picture issues'.
Keep 'em coming.

Morning all,

Quick update in terms of who's around here over the weekend. We have tech on call for fixes, and of course various MNHQers will be here to talk, and help wherever we can. Please, if you can bear it, keep the feedback coming; it's extremely useful, and we'll be cracking on again at full speed on Tuesday.

Thanks, and have great weekends, one and all Flowers

@middlings

MNHQ I've just logged on having spent a few days away from the mobile site and think the improvements are great. I still prefer the old site, although I'm loving the drop down for the emoticons. Thanks for making the changes so quickly. Flowers
