Report/bookmark buttons switching places?

78 replies

Andylion · 06/04/2020 17:48

I just tried to bookmark a thread by tapping on the innermost button, as I always do, and instead the report window opened.

Have they switched places or am I going mad? This happened on the app on my iPad, but I am posting this using Safari as the app wouldn’t let me post a screenshot to illustrate my question.

Report/bookmark buttons switching places?

Oh my god I'm glad you've posted this. I thought I was going mad.
My finger automatically goes to the first icon to the right to bookmark and now I end up reporting everyone under the sun (not really because I don't click send but the point still stands) Grin

What's going on @MNHQ?

Thank you. - thought it was me...

Keep nearly reporting things by mistake.

MowCopCastle · 06/04/2020 23:15

For me it's switched over on the iPad app but not the iPhone app.

TheWoollybacksWife · 07/04/2020 08:35

I'm glad I found this thread. It's switched on the iPhone app for me. I keep almost reporting posts.

AHobbyaweek · 07/04/2020 08:37

This is driving me mad!!

prettybird · 07/04/2020 08:52

Me too Confused. It's driving me mad Shock

I'm using the iPhone app.

SamSeabornforPresident · 07/04/2020 08:56

Me too. I've nearly reported many innocent posters this morning. Muscle memory is an amazing thing.

prettybird · 07/04/2020 10:35

And it's finally happened - I've reported an entirely innocent post by accident Blush

LockedInMadness · 07/04/2020 11:23

Well if mnhq get a million more reported posts they might do something about it.
Although by the time they do, we will probably be used to the new layout and so start pressing report again 🤦‍♀️

BentBastard · 07/04/2020 11:40

Same, iPhone app and nearly reported 3 posts this morning. What on a Earth is the point of switching them??

Kannet · 07/04/2020 12:10

I keep reporting things by mistake

whatwouldkatyactuallydonext · 07/04/2020 13:10

Thank god, I thought I'd imagined it.

PLEASE switch them back - it's incredible annoying!!

prettybird · 07/04/2020 13:14

Well, I've had an email from MNHQ asking why I'd reported an innocuous post Confused - so I was able to explain that it was because they'd mucked around with the position of the buttons Grin

BazzleJet · 07/04/2020 14:09

I've just come in to report this - I bookmark things all the time but rarely report, the buttons being the wrong way round makes no sense. As someone mentioned earlier, muscle memory is a thing and I'm sure @MNHQ will be getting lots of unnecessary reports!

MaggieFS · 07/04/2020 14:32

Yes! This is doing my head in! What do we need to do to formally ask for this to be reversed? Just report the posts?

inwood · 07/04/2020 14:52

Me too!!

acatcalledjohn · 07/04/2020 14:54

And me. So annoying to keep getting the report form pop up when all I want to do is bookmark the post!

soniamumsnet · 07/04/2020 15:11

Hi, thanks for the reports. We'll take a look and see if we can get to the bottom of this. Flowers

Tessaraqt · 07/04/2020 15:17

Aha! I thought I was imagining it! Almost reported a few posts too

Figmentofimagination · 07/04/2020 17:18

Same for me on the iphone app. It's habit to press that innermost button

MrsTerryPratchett · 07/04/2020 17:36

I literally just did it on this thread!

Iadoremylabrador · 07/04/2020 17:55

Omg it's so annoying. I accidentally reported a post today! Sorry.

Please switch the buttons back!

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 07/04/2020 18:29

Me too!

iPhone, on the app.

thesedaysarescary · 07/04/2020 18:41

Me too in iPhone app! I thought I was going crazy 😜

CarpeVitam · 07/04/2020 18:59

Same here...please change them back ☹️
