MNHQ here: step this way to support your favourite website for parents (no, not that one [duh!])

[JustineMumsnet]

Morning all,

We’ve been nominated for a 2016 Website of the Year award (many thanks to whoever did that ) - in the Community category which is for websites that share knowledge, information and ideas.

We know how brilliant you all are - whether it’s a Woolly hug, a timely handhold, working together to reunite a lost bunny with its owner, help with life’s big decisions or just a laugh - so if you’d like more people to benefit from the amazing Mumsnet community then please send a vote our way.

You have until Friday 11 November to vote (but you may as well get on with it).

It’s quick and easy - just click on this link.

Rate the site’s design, navigation and content out of a possible five stars

Answer the question on how likely you would be to recommend the site

Confirm your vote with your name and email address and that’s it, done and dusted (and you’ll be entered into a prize draw to win an iPad Pro, a Sonos Play:5 or an Amazon gift card).

Thanks very much for your support

All done.

Had to put a bit of effort in to activate vote ... go to emails, find it in junk, click "not junk", go back to regular inbox, and then activate!

But all worth it to support something that's given me a lot of support through the parenting years, and much friendship

thanks for going the extra mile. Much appreciated.

Sorry, can't due to the high number of problems with the mobile site - invasive and at times offensive pop ups, glitches wth different sections, currently TIO isn't working, the way MNHQ manages to make us feel that these are in some way our fault and that we need to fix things etc, etc. Sad thing is that the posters make this a wonderful site - Woolly Hugs, Secret Santa etc. But I couldn't vote for it on the basis of how good the site is technically.

Oh dear sorry that's not good! Think TIO issue was temporary glitch to do with adding search to the app and has now been fixed - porn pop ups (which are horrific and have gone on too long, I agree) is an issue a lot of sites using external ad providers are facing but we are aggressively trying to eliminate by systematically reducing ad providers/ formats and we've just removed the inline native ads on topics as they aren't working well enough for users. But I'm really sorry if we're in anyway implying the fault for any of the above is with the users - really not the intention - it's just sometimes hard to replicate problems when multiple browsers and devices are involved. But we will definitely take your point on board and try to improve - thanks for the feedback.

There always seems to be a massive tech issue on here when this vote comes around

Yeh, sod's law that one

@Lweji

I don't know... All those new colours on the mobile site... ahem...

done, but don't tell HQ

Are you happier with revised (darker) version?

[Lweji]

Wasn't this a ghost thread?



It seems better now, yes.

It was only 8 days since posted on - I realise that in that time there have been 1000s of Aibu threads but in Site Stuff we operate at a more genteel pace.

All done. Must admit I'm having lots of problems with freezing and having to close down and reopen, if it doesn't freeze it hangs. Got a good wi-fi connection so not sure if it's your site or my kindle!

Done
