On the desktop site.

The option to show who the thread was started by and when is still showing. But selecting "Yes" (or indeed "No") for this option does not stay when you click save.

Just letting it be known in case it had not been mentioned.

This is driving me mad.

I've saved NewMumsnet style and saved all my other settings, but the "Thread Started by" IS NOT WORKING!!!

Using Firefox btw

YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 21/08/2014 21:34

We are really sorry about all the upheaval but we promise the Techs are working on it. Normal service will be resumed soon. Apologies again.

UptheChimney · 21/08/2014 21:42

Thanks!

FWIW, I like the new site on my iPod

Wendywishes · 21/08/2014 22:18

Yes me too...'Thread started by' has disappeared and no amount of 'saving' it will bring it back.It keeps disappearing againConfused

SarahAndFuck · 21/08/2014 22:51

I was just wondering where the 'thread started by' had gone.

It's what made me venture this way. I like 'thread started by', it's useful and my screen looks weird without it.

LatinForTelly · 21/08/2014 23:35

I just dropped by to see if anyone else was getting this. Was fine earlier today I think.

Oops, just read your post, Sarah. Didn't mean to copy it!

DramaAlpaca · 21/08/2014 23:39

Oh good, I'm glad Tech is working on this.

ReluctantCamper · 22/08/2014 08:22

this is driving me nuts - please sort soon!

I wasn't having slow I loading issues but I am now. If I try to open this thread from TIO, it tries to load the whole thread on one page and never gets to the end, eventually thread becomes unresponsive and I have to close the browser. Am on fast home wifi so not a network issue.

Am on Samsung S3, Android 4.3 OS, using default browser.

While I am here:

  • I really want 'show all posts' back. Not as default option in customisation but as a choice for an individual thread
  • posting box is too small with text too big, really hard to scroll up in it to check what you have written, it keeps scrolling me up to the top if the page.

Still can't get the 'threads started by' thingy back.

LatinForTelly · 24/08/2014 15:29

Still haven't got this back either. I spose MNHQ are busy with the mobile app shenanigans.

WeHateAmy · 24/08/2014 19:04

Still not working for me either (another safari user).

Poofus · 24/08/2014 19:24

Just came on here to complain about this and found you'd all beaten me to it!

OberonTheHopeful · 24/08/2014 21:32

Not working for me either (Safari 7.0.6 / OS X 10.9.4).

cozietoesie · 25/08/2014 08:53

Is Tech going to be working on this today? (Hangover permitting I guess.) It's been 4 or 5 days now.

gertiegusset · 25/08/2014 09:53
Sad
WhereBeThatBlackbirdTo · 25/08/2014 09:58

Another one coming to complain about this only to find I've been beaten to it, many many times.

Poofus · 26/08/2014 14:09

Oh come on MNHQ! This is driving me nuts. I keep clicking on thread titles thinking "surely [well liked and respected regular poster] would never have posted a thread called that!", and sure enough - they haven't, it's someone else altogether but the "started by"function is buggered. I may have to go and do some work if this carries on.

What's going on, can't this be fixed?

AmyMumsnet · 27/08/2014 12:19

Hi everyone,

We'll run over to tech and get it fixed ASAP.

gertiegusset · 27/08/2014 12:38

Thankyou.

cozietoesie · 27/08/2014 13:04

Thanks - it's driving me daft.

UptheChimney · 27/08/2014 13:42

Still not working for me ...
