'Threads I'm watching' - duplicated in list

13 replies

popehilarious · 14/05/2019 22:58

This has been going on for a few weeks now, on MN website on phone (Android) or laptop (Windows) -
I go to 'threads I'm watching' (threads get added when I post on them or click 'watch this thread') and some of them are duplicated on my list. When I 'bump and reset' that might remove the duplicated entry but then another one gets duplicated - usually the second one on the list and others further down. Anyone else have this and is there any way it can be reset/ cleaned up?
If I 'remove' one of the duplicate threads, they both go so I loose my watched thread.
thanks!

Hi there OP,

Thanks for flagging this to us - we'll pass it on and investigate.

Hi there OP,

Could we please have a screenshot? Do give us a shout if you need help on how to do this.

Screenshot hopefully uploaded. Forgot to say I'm also unable to 'bump and reset' on my phone. I can delete, but if I b&r the 'watching' page reloads but the posts haven't bumped and reset.
Incidentally is there a way to 'bump and reset' while you're actually on a thread?- I never quite worked out what the 'bookmark ' action does.

@AnyaMumsnet any joy?

@MNHQ @AnyaMumsnet increasingly desperate bump!?!

Will I need to make a whole new account, or delete all my 'watching' threads?

I reported this duplication issue in some other thread too, another screenshot provided. But bookmarks also not working.

popehilarious When bookmark is working you bring up the clickable 'bookmark' in the bottom RHcorner of the post you want to mark. The word changes to "saving" followed by "saved" and the next time you open that thread that is the post you get taken straight to.

Is that what you wanted to know? But in any case currently the word "bookmark" appears all the time not only when you hover . And clicking on it may or may not work even though it reportedly saves.

So sorry all, thanks (again) for your patience!

We've given this a bump, so we should have a better answer for you soon!

No improvement yet. Bookmarks rarely work and watched threads are in duplicate.

LilyMumsnet · 26/05/2019 09:39

Hello,

Sorry all - we're still looking into this one. Bit difficult to find out why this is happening. Do bear with us. Flowers

By Jove you may have cracked it for me..for today. My duplicated watched threads are singular when rebumped and bookmarks placed today are working. Thank you Tech Star

popehilarious · 28/05/2019 20:56

I don't think my watched threads are duplicated any more, but I still can't bump & reset on my phone, on my watched list.
Also when I load up the watch list it's really zoomed in - anyone else have this?!

Bookmarks a bit hit or miss as to whether they work, but they always look wrong in that button always visible on every post rather than having to hover to make them appear.
