Update to Talk menu

8 replies

As part of our ongoing design update we'll be making a change to the main menu on Talk. This change is already live on the homepage and we'll be rolling it out everywhere in the coming weeks.

A few people had problems with the colour of the dropdown before being too dark and disrupting the page so we've changed that in favour of a white background. We've also brought the Angels back in the dropdown and tidied up the font and spacing to bring everything together.

We've also made some small adjustments to the homepage and will be testing a static image alternative to the top carousel in the coming weeks.

As ever this is part of an ongoing process of tweaking and testing with the aim to make Mumsnet more consistent and more usable. Please do let us know if you have any thoughts or improvements you'd like to see.

Hello Fru,

Sorry that wasn't clear! The angels have long been part of the Mumsnet logo and when we introduced a more compact menu we had to remove them. We thought we'd bring them back inside the dropdown. Smile

If you're on a desktop computer and you click on the hamburger in the menu (three little lines on top of each other) you should spot them.

Hello again,
We've spoken to tech about the jumping about reported. They're struggling to replicate the issue but we think it's down to scrolling down before the page has finished loading. When the page has finished it will jump to the top of the page at first and then it automatically jumps/moves back down to the previous position you were in. We're still optimising the page load speed and will try to improve matters.
Sorry, we realise it must be annoying.

NorbertDentressangle and FruStefanOla, both those issues sound like bugs - we'll flag to tech. Thanks for reporting!

@MackerelOfFact

Hello! I just wanted to add my feedback about the floating menu thingy that appears when you scroll upwards (thread here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2655123-Floating-logo-masthead-thingy).

Basically, if you roll it out, could it please be disable-able? I browse MN during quiet moments at work because it's mostly plain text and looks pretty innocuous to passers-by, but the constant blue 'Mumsnet' thing popping up conspicuously is rather ruining that!

Hey MackerelOfFact (great name btw!) We'll ask tech is it's possible to have the option to disable, no promises as it may be too tricky but we'll give it a go. Thanks Flowers

@FruStefanOla

This might come as some surprise to you, JessicaMumsnet and the Tech team - but I actually don't want to have to wait forever and a day.

"We've spoken to tech about the jumping about reported. They're struggling to replicate the issue but we think it's down to scrolling down before the page has finished loading. When the page has finished it will jump to the top of the page at first and then it automatically jumps/moves back down to the previous position you were in."

I have no issue with advertising on MN - at all - but I guess the number of Ads - plus other 'stuff' - all over the place is surely slowing the site down to the point it's becoming irritating.

And I bet you lot are all using the latest, whizzy, up-to-date devices? Some of the rest of us aren't.

Hi FruStefanOla, we're sorry we realise it is frustrating and we're doing our best. We have lots of devices in the office which we can test on including older ones. We've looked into the ads and we don't think it's related to that. Thank you for bearing with us while we try to improve. Flowers

Right, we collared tech and this is what they said about the jumping around issue:

They tried to replicate this across a range of devices with Ad Blocker installed, and without.

When they were on a talk topic and initially started to scroll up and down the page, if they refreshed that page, it would jump to the top at begin with and then it would automatically jump/move back down to the previous position they were on the page before they refreshed. (If that makes any sense?!)

The way this works is just standard behaviour on the main web browsers on mobile or desktop, so not specific to Mumsnet.

Hi BertieBotts, thanks so much for this, we will go back to tech. We probably won't have more info from them before the weekend, but will keep you updated.
