MN HQ Have you pressed a button and made it all go funny?

My MN has gone all wrong. I can't get "all topics" from the menu at the top of the page. It only shows a few tabs, none of which load. I can only get to all topics by going round the houses.

no quick route to site stuff anymore when you scroll down to the bottom of the page.

hugoagogo · 04/07/2018 17:34

Something is different, not entirely sure what? Is it the line across the screen near the top?

yawning801 · 04/07/2018 17:35

Yes they've put some drop-down menus at the top, added a link to Active and put a newly-designed button for My Mumsnet. That's all I can spot so far!

WigglyBlossom · 04/07/2018 19:15

Bring back the shortcuts at the bottom of the page please.

PanPanPanPing · 04/07/2018 19:26

MNHQ Tech were tinkering, again, a few weeks ago. Yes, it's all gone 'funny' - again. Surprise, surprise. Again.

MyGuideJools · 04/07/2018 20:02

I don't like it sometimes I can get all the topics, other times not. why mess with things?? if it ain't broke!......

PanPanPanPing · 04/07/2018 20:06

"if it ain't broke!......"

Some of us have been saying this for years - do they take any notice? Sad

Joolly2 · 04/07/2018 20:39

I like the option to view in desktop mode, which seems to have disappeared now. I would also like the shortcuts at the bottom back. I don't like all these new changes. I hate change when it is not necessary. Sorry MHQ.

PanPanPanPing · 04/07/2018 20:45

I'm still using desktop view on both my laptop and iPad, Joolly2. It's never disappeared for me. If you go right down the the bottom bottom of the page, you should find the option to toggle between the mobile site (which is what, I guess, you might be looking at at the moment) and the desktop site.

Joolly2 · 04/07/2018 22:22

Thanks Panpan. Is there any way to make desktop my default setting? It seems to revert to mobile every time. Technology gives me the rage.

LassWiADelicateAir · 04/07/2018 22:50

Yes it's all gone funny. The drop down full list of topics has disappeared.

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 05/07/2018 01:45

Please put the site back as it was as I only use a PC and not a bloody mobile thingy or at least give use to option to chose WHAT we want to use.

Monty27 · 05/07/2018 01:46

I hate the adverts and can't get rid

WigglyBlossom · 05/07/2018 09:18

I hate that I get to the bottom of a HUGE thread and can no longer just press a button on the bottom menu to get straight back to Chat or AIBU. I have no desire to scroll back through 800+ posts on the thread to get back to the top menu.

There's a back to top button under the reply box and all the ads usually.

ExBbqQueen · 05/07/2018 09:23

Can we have shortcuts at the bottom back please

Mind you I’ve been more productive today than I usually am as I can’t be bothered scroll through loads of posts.

Buggeroffalo · 05/07/2018 09:57

Yes, shortcuts at the bottom of the page back please! I can’t now flick between Aibu and chat and it’s really irritating

bruffin · 05/07/2018 17:44

Lost all the shortcut to active, tio etc buttons at the bottom of the mobile site

bruffin · 05/07/2018 17:47

Actually they just pop for a split second and disappear

ExBbqQueen · 05/07/2018 21:40

This is really irritating me now.

It’s far too fiddly.

bruffin · 05/07/2018 21:42

I found it works on chrome but not other browsers

Graphista · 05/07/2018 22:04

Yep - not loving it mnhq.

"if it ain't broke!......"

I've still got the shortcuts at the bottom but the rest is a faff.

ExBbqQueen · 06/07/2018 16:59

My shortcuts are back - hopefully for good

MattKMumsnet · 06/07/2018 17:31

Hi @ExBbqQueen, we made some changes to the header and the footer a few weeks ago, bringing in a unified design across the site.

Based on feedback, we added AIBU and Chat shortcuts to the footer last week. These aren't going anywhere for the foreseeable future Grin

If there's anything else we can do to make the navigation easier let us know...

ExBbqQueen · 06/07/2018 17:32

Great thanks Smile
