Can you help us to improve the Mumsnet site?

[JanineMumsnet]

Across this year we intend to make some improvements to features on Mumsnet talk with the aim of enhancing your experience of using the site. The first of which is to improve the functionality of the 'threads I'm watching' and bookmark features.

You might have used these features, or you may have no idea they even existed, either way we'd love it if you could complete this quick survey.

Any additional comments you want to add to this thread would also be welcome.

Thanks

Could email address and name be encrypted in 'My Mumsnet' to prevent anyone getting someone else's information if they get accidentally logged into the wrong account?

Maybe a WYSIWYG editor ?

I like the idea of answer or reply to poster.

You click that button and it copies the username and that post into the box you write in so you don't need to copy, bold and paste it. Yourself before you then write your reply.

It takes a while and is too much hassle sometimes on a fast moving thread because you need to do it twice, once for the username then scroll back up to the correct post (sometimes in the middle of dozens of other posts) and copy the content your replying to.

Please God don't introduce a like button, or up and down voting

You only have to go to Reddit for 5 minutes to see how the voting is misused.

I'd like the ability on Advanced Search to search posts started by someone, not just any post that they've made.

Function to isolate only the OP's entries.

No 'like' button.

Search function on the iPhone app is bizarre, add search filters and advanced options would be great.

Time sensitive edit button would be good, you get 30 seconds or so to quickly address the terrible typo..!

I use the watching feature and bookmark feature happily on the app, but don't think there's a way to see my watched threads or to bookmark threads on the desktop.

Delighted to be corrected if I'm wrong.

@Noloudnoises

Thirty seconds!? How fast do you type?? At least five minutes.

Or, we could have edited posts flagged as 'edited' somehow and a 'show unedited post' button?

Actually, this is like re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

Never mind all of these putative changes, please can you just make the bloody site work properly?

It's so slow, keeps freezing, takes ages for posts to load, takes ages for anything I'm typing to even show in the box - for the last week or so this has made it unbearable.

Ah man is that slow typing thing happening again?

I can live with.. just..The freezing, the repeated having to reload pages because of some advert that's needs to wait for technology to catch up to it. Posts refusing to post but the letters not appearing as you type them thing and taking a literal half minute to go back to correct mistakes is unbearable and when it's finally posted there are pages added to the thread. Why does I do that?!

Can "Classics" have their very OWN section?

They are hidden so far down in the menu. I was looking specifically for them recently - and it still took ages to find them!

This happens all the time.

Is there a way of seeing all the threads I've ever started or commented on? I often want to look for a thread I started years ago, but can't remember what username I was using at the time. I think this feature would be useful now people name change a lot.

I know threads I've commented on now automatically go into "threads I'm watching", but this hasn't always been the case.

I would love a Like button!!
Survey asks what I use to read MN my device (laptop) not option .
RSI so would prefer a Like button than typing msg.
Threads get dominant views & minority voices get stifled; Like button would better reflect opinion ranges.
Down/Upvoting is bad, though.

Many Talk categories could be merged. Menopause should go under Women's Health. Money categories should merge. "Education" should be renamed "Queries about specific schools" (!)
