Not seeing deletion messages

98 replies

Now when a thread I'm watching goes I end up on an Oops page not found message instead of the deletion message. Is it just me?

OP posts:
ShirleyPhallus · 08/09/2019 12:53

This site is driving me mad:

  1. Still not seeing threads I’ve clicked on changing colour, or sometimes they do then the next minute they’re back to all blue
  2. OP’s OP is in highlighted green then subsequent posts are not being highlighted
  3. My “threads I’m on” isn’t updating properly to see all the threads I am on

And this! How hard is it to fix all this?!

SoupDragon · 08/09/2019 12:57

And advanced search is shit and broken but they've been ignoring the thread about that for over a year. It's full of "oh, we'll chase tech..." then nothing.

I wouldn't hold your breath about this.

Yeah, I’d wager it’s never getting ‘fixed’ because it’s not actually broken. Wink

Just realised from another thread that it doesn’t automatically convert to clicky links anymore, it’s back to putting the square brackets around them

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 09/09/2019 22:27

9 days and counting. Any idea when it will be fixed @LilyMumsnet @EstherMumsnet?

SoupDragon · 10/09/2019 07:04

9 days? That's no time at all.

ShirleyPhallus · 10/09/2019 07:18

It hasn’t been 9 days though, it’s 9 days since this thread was set up but there were multiple reports prior to this

It's over a year since I started a thread about Advanced Search. Someone is still "chasing tech". Either tech is a fast runner or the World Hide and Seek Champion.

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 10/09/2019 08:42

Wow. That is absolutely shameful on your part @MNHQ @LilyMumsnet @EstherMumsnet

MichaelMumsnet · 10/09/2019 09:38

Morning all. We're putting a fix in place for the 'not showing deletion messages' bug today.
Thanks for bearing with us. We're looking forward to being able to post our reasons for deletion messages too.

Had to chuckle at that!

Is anyone else hoping a thread they're on gets deleted just to see if it's actually working? Grin

CandyLeBonBon · 10/09/2019 12:04

I wrote about this a while ago. Threads are just zapped with no understanding of what went wrong. If it's a troll thread I likecto know because I'm often suckered into them. Now the thread just disappears. I used to still have thread with a zero next to it and if I clicked on it, there would be a mnhq message telling us what went wrong and why it was deleted. So frustrating now.

ShirleyPhallus · 10/09/2019 12:17

That’s great @MichaelMumsnet but when will all the other issues be fixed? Especially the advanced search and all sorts of other minor issues

Presumably you have a list of broken stuff and a project plan on delivery - why is this stuff so low priority to you when it affects users so much?

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 10/09/2019 12:56

Should we start one @JaneJeffer? Grin lets post a thread of inappropriate photos of Ryan hawley?

Redshoeblueshoe · 10/09/2019 12:59

If we're not going to get a witty deletion message why should we bother reporting ?
You owe us HQ Grin

No such thing Joxer Wink

This thread has been deleted this morning:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3688503-Found-butane-gas-in-au-pair-room

It still shows "oops".

WhatchaMaCalllit · 10/09/2019 15:11

A question @MichaelMumsnet - when the fix is applied, will it be retrospectively applied, so older threads or threads deleted/hidden for whatever reason prior to the fix being applied, we will be able to see why it was deleted/hidden? Or will it only apply to threads that get deleted after the fix is applied?

CandyLeBonBon · 10/09/2019 18:41

@C8H10N4O2 when I click on it it's just a blank screen! Confused

MrsPlesWearsAFez · 10/09/2019 18:55

Getting the 'oops sorry' page on threads in the Advanced Search can be really upsetting.

Sometimes I find myself searching for topics which are unusual or rare, and which statistically there is likely to be a thread(s) somewhere on MN about.

It is upsetting when search shows that threads exist, but it is impossible to access them.

ShirleyPhallus · 10/09/2019 19:00

@MrsPlesWearsAFez I find a way around that is to actually google the thread title and “mumsnet” and it usually comes up that way
