Has Active got shorter?

18 replies

DonPablo · 14/02/2020 18:32

I browse active threads, logged in. Today I've noticed the list of threads is shorter. Is it?

Its quite boring to get to the bottom of the list and not see anything I fancy reading. In fact, I keep going off mumsnet to do other things because it's not doing it for me!

Anyone else noticed?

Yep. And the watch/hide buttons aren't there on the "load more" half of the page on the mobile site.

DonPablo · 14/02/2020 18:45

The adverts are getting on my nerves too. Sad there seem to be more ads than content?

I noticed this too - it’s rubbish!

Hi OP,

Could you let us know what device and browser you're using to access the site? We're keen to look into this for you!

DonPablo · 14/02/2020 19:39

Hi, android phone, mobile site through the Google app.

They have fiddled with it, and there is a 'load more' option.

I would however prefer it if you could still have the basic length you had before (for which there were options you could choose from) rather than having to have the new shorter list.

I would also like. It if you could hide the 'content' links at the top, just as you can hide pinned threads. It doesn't matter his long they linger round like a bad smell, some subjects are never going to be relevant to me.

I don't have a load more function. Just a shit sort list of active.

LilyMumsnet · 14/02/2020 22:01

Can we have a screenshot, OP?

SoMuchToBits · 14/02/2020 22:04

I have this as well. It's only showing 50 most recent threads in Active instead of 100. And the LOAD MORE button doesn't work!

DonPablo · 15/02/2020 06:48

I have the load more button this morning. And it's working. Do you still want a screen shot? Of what?

OP posts:
AuntieStella · 15/02/2020 07:57

I wouid really like the basic setting of 100 to continue to be avaioabke

TwoHeadedYellowBelliedHoleDig · 15/02/2020 10:14

I have the load more button but all the threads that appear after I've pressed it do not have the three dots for watch/hide under them. Android, mobile site on Chrome.

What with this and the random thread opening, you are really spoiling us.

TwoHeadedYellowBelliedHoleDig · 18/02/2020 09:57

And now - or I've just noticed- the thread titles that appear after I've pressed Load More are repeating from above. Still don't have the three dots either.

Inforthelonghaul · 18/02/2020 10:39

OP I’d been thinking exactly the same so went to bottom of the list and saw the Load More button🙄. I’ve got so used to ignoring the ads that I’d lumped it in with them and never saw it. I don’t like it though, I much preferred a long list to scroll down.

coconuttelegraph · 18/02/2020 10:59

Yes, its's got shorter with a load more button. The button does work for me though

@LilyMumsnet - how do you not know that features have changed? I know I've asked this before but why do you need screenshots, do you have a different version to the users?

TwoHeadedYellowBelliedHoleDig · 18/02/2020 19:04

Ok so as of now Load More is giving me the three dots, is not repeating and for the first time in ages each thread title is back to one line only. Perfect.

SwedishEdith · 19/02/2020 14:58

Yes. I hate the Load More button.Why do I now have to do something else to carry on scrolling?

TwoHeadedYellowBelliedHoleDig · 28/02/2020 16:20

So although I now have the three dots under Load More

  1. If I do hit hide, I get taken to a "Damn, we can't seem to find the page you were looking for. Sorry about that - we'll fix it as soon as we can. In the meantime, try these options" error page.
  1. The list of Load More threads contains most of the pages above the Load More button. So instead of getting the 100 active threads in my Customise, I get 50, then I Load More and get the same 50 plus a few extra - which I can't watch or hide.
