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?

And me on the iPhone app - it's really bloody irritating! I have nearly reported so many innocent posts today!

Please swap it back, my brain can't cope with anything else changing right now

LilyMumsnet · 07/04/2020 20:56

Hi folks

All is above board - we shuffled them around to prepare for other buttons in the future. Sorry for the slow update!

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 07/04/2020 20:59

other buttons in the future

???

Pray tell, Lily!

Davros · 07/04/2020 21:05

Please shuffle them back

MaggieFS · 07/04/2020 21:15

@LilyMumsnet Thanks, but that doesn't really help our problems. Can they be put back in the same order?

coconutpie · 07/04/2020 21:56

Can they please be switched back?

acatcalledjohn · 07/04/2020 21:57

Yeah, this constant reporting is really annoying. Please do shuffle them back.

minniemoll · 07/04/2020 22:19

Please move them back! It's driving me dotty, I've not actually reported anyone accidentally yet, but it's going to happen...

Torvi · 07/04/2020 22:26

I'm also finding this really irritating. Please can you switch them back.

AHobbyaweek · 07/04/2020 22:42

Switch them back. Or I will accidentally keep reporting. How does it make more room is the pixels will still be shifted?!?!

Snozzlemaid · 07/04/2020 23:17

This is so annoying. Hope they can switch them back.

BazzleJet · 08/04/2020 00:18

Who asked for this switch? Please leave the bookmark button as the first button. Please

KiddingMyself · 08/04/2020 03:54

Please put them back!

HareTodayGoonTomorrow · 08/04/2020 08:13

Well, if they're not going to swap them back, they can deal with the added workload of extra reports made in error. Interesting choice, glad I'm not working on that team Hmm

MarshmallowsOnToast · 08/04/2020 08:40

Just came to moan about this Angry

emmielia · 08/04/2020 08:42

It makes sense to have the bookmark first as I'm sure it's most used.

BentBastard · 08/04/2020 09:03

I don't under set and how it makes room for new buttons, it's just a straight swap, how does switching them make room for new buttons ConfusedConfusedConfused

BentBastard · 08/04/2020 09:03

*understand

soniamumsnet · 08/04/2020 10:42

Hi, thanks for all the reports and the feedback which is really helpful.

Sorry for any upset caused. We'll make sure we provide plenty of notice if we make any similar changes like this in future. Flowers

LockedInMadness · 08/04/2020 10:55

Oh so is it not being put back? 🤨

BillyN0Mates · 08/04/2020 11:22

I hope so. I'm reporting everything today (not really but it's really annoying!)

soniamumsnet · 08/04/2020 11:24

Hi @LockedInMadness we may switch them back, and we'll definitely let you know well in advance. Thanks for being so patient and sorry for any hassle. Flowers

minniemoll · 08/04/2020 11:31

If you're going to switch them back, please don't wait until we've just got used to them where they are! That would be doubly annoying.

In the meantime every thread is getting a very annoyed noise from me as I try to bookmark posts.

Actually, a really good improvement would be for the app to automatically remember which post you were up to then the bookmark button would be pretty much redundant and it'd be easier to use generally.

WhenDoIGetToSleep · 08/04/2020 11:33

I'm so glad I found this thread - I thought I was going mad when I kept pressing "report"!

mynameiscalypso · 08/04/2020 11:36

I thought I was going mad too! This is driving me insane especially as the swipe left on the thread titles (rather than individual posts) is still the same as it used to be.
